U.S. clean power additions hit 6.4 GW in Q1 as utility-scale solar leads

pv magazine reports that Q1 additions included 3.625 GW of utility-scale solar, 2.382 GW of energy storage and 415 MW of wind, bringing U.S. clean power capacity above 370 GW. The development pipeline exceeded 195 GW, with planned solar capacity up 13% year over year and storage up 8%, but 59.5 GW of projects are now delayed by permitting, interconnection and equipment constraints. The headline for solar professionals is clear: demand remains strong, but grid and supply bottlenecks are shaping delivery timelines.
