Muva nje, i-Energy Information Administration (EIA) yoMnyango Wezamandla wase-US ibikezele ukuthi ngo-2025, amandla elanga azofinyelela ku-32.5GW, amandla okugcina amandla azodlula kancane ku-18GW, amandla omoya kulindeleke ukuthi engeze ku-7.7GW, kanye namandla egesi yemvelo kaphethiloli azokhuphuka ngo-4.4GW.
Ngokusho kombiko wakamuva we-EIA wenyanga wokuqala we-inventory generator (EIA-860M), inani lokwengezwa kwamandla amasha ngo-2025 lizofinyelela cishe ku-63GW, okuzoba yinani eliphakeme kakhulu lokwengezwa kwamandla ngonyaka emlandweni wase-US. Uma kuqhathaniswa, idatha ye-EIA ikhombisa ukuthi umthamo wesilinganiso sezinsiza ongu-48.6GW wasetshenziswa ngo-2024, inani eliphakeme kakhulu kusukela ngo-2002, lapho cishe umthamo omusha ongu-60GW wawuxhunywe kugridi.
Kulindeleke ukuthi amandla elanga abe ngu-51.5% wawo wonke amandla amasha okwengeza ngo-2025. ITexas izohola ngo-11.6GW wamandla amasha elanga, okwenza cishe u-36% wamandla elanga aphelele. ICalifornia ilandela ngo-2.9GW, kanti ezinye izifundazwe ezinhlanu—i-Indiana, i-Arizona, i-Michigan, i-Florida, ne-New York—ngalinye kulindeleke ukuthi lisebenzise amandla angaphezu kuka-1GW.
Umthamo wokugcina amandla kulindeleke ukuthi ukhule kakhulu, wengeze i-18.2GW. Nakuba umbiko unganikezi imininingwane ngobude besikhathi sokugcina, izimakethe ezimbili ezinkulu zamabhethri, iCalifornia neTexas, zivame ukusebenzisa izinhlelo ezinamanani okugcina amahora amane namahora amabili nesigamu ngokulandelana.
Kulindeleke ukuthi iTexas yengeze isitoreji esisha esingu-6.7GW, kulandelwe yiCalifornia ene-4.3GW kanye ne-Arizona ene-3.6GW. Lezi zifundazwe ezintathu zizoba ngaphezu kuka-80% wawo wonke amandla okugcina ibhethri elisha.
Amaphrojekthi amabili amakhulu kakhulu ebhethri ahlelelwe u-2025 ngalinye linomthamo ongu-500MW. Elinye litholakala eKern County, eCalifornia, futhi lizoba sendaweni eyodwa nesitshalo samandla elanga esingu-500MW—isitshalo samandla esikhulu kunazo zonke esihlelelwe unyaka. Iphrojekthi yesibili, eWharton County, eTexas, izohlanganiswa nesikhungo samandla elanga esingu-451.6MW, okwenza kube yisitshalo sesibili ngobukhulu selanga esihlelelwe u-2025.
I-Short-Term Energy Outlook ye-EIA ikhombisa ukuthi amandla elanga amancane (ezokuhlala, ezentengiselwano, kanye nezezimboni) azokwengeza amandla elanga angu-7GW, okwenza amandla elanga aphelele asatshalaliswe abe ngu-60.6GW ekupheleni kuka-2025. Uma kuhlanganiswa namandla elanga angu-32.5GW AC (42GW DC) esikalini sokusetshenziswa, ukusetshenziswa kwamamojula elanga aphelele kulo nyaka kungasondela ku-50GW.
Ekuqaleni, i-EIA yayibikezele ukuthi i-US izosebenzisa amandla elanga angaphezu kuka-50GW ngo-2024, kanti umbiko wayo wamandla ngoNovemba ugcina lokho kulinganisela. Kodwa-ke, idatha yakamuva ikhombisa ukuthi i-EIA ibuyekeze isilinganiso sayo samandla ngo-2024 sehle cishe ngo-7GW. Lokhu kubuyekezwa kuhambisana nokwanda okulindelekile kokusetshenziswa ngoJanuwari 2025.
Okwamanje, iBloomberg New Energy Finance ilinganisela ukuthi ukufakwa kwamandla elanga e-US ngo-2024 kuzofinyelela cishe ku-50GW.
