US renewable energy capacity is set to exceed 1,060 gigawatts by 2035, significantly up from approximately 414.5 gigawatts in 2024, driven by state mandates and private investment. Solar power is expected to lead this growth, increasing from 231.4 gigawatts to nearly 737.8 gigawatts, while onshore wind capacity will rise from 156 gigawatts to around 269 gigawatts. The transition underscores a shift towards a lower-carbon power system, with substantial investments projected in renewable energy systems.
