America added clean power at a record pace this spring

The U.S. installed a record 17.1 gigawatts of solar, wind, and battery storage in the second quarter of 2026 — up 45% from last year — pushing total clean power past 388 gigawatts, enough for 83 million homes. The biggest single project was New Mexico's SunZia wind farm, the largest land-based wind project in American history. The energy transition isn't coming; it's humming.
