Questions
Which state plans the highest share of solar, storage and wind?
Connecticut: 100% of 625 planned MW.
Which state plans the highest share of natural gas?
District of Columbia: 100% of 5 planned MW.
What share of the U.S. pipeline is solar, storage and wind?
75% (211,105 MW); natural gas is 23% (64,115 MW).
Are solar and gas MW comparable?
Only roughly. A megawatt of solar produces power in far fewer hours than a megawatt of gas, and storage moves power rather than making it. This page compares capacity, not energy.
Do batteries count as generation?
EIA lists them as generators, with a net summer capacity. We group them as storage.
Do these shares stay put?
No. A single large solar or gas project can swing a small state's mix by several points.
