Renewable electricity generation capacity in the United States is projected to grow continuously in the coming decades, albeit at varying rates, depending on market developments. In a scenario of low cost for renewables, the installed capacity in the U.S. could surpass 1.57 terawatts in 2050. In contrast, should costs be too high to be competitive, capacity can be as low as 759 gigawatts that year.
