Data from the US Energy Information Administration shows 368 utility-scale power plants came online in the US during the first half of 2026. While the largest individual projects are legacy wind farms like SunZia (3,650 MW combined) and Vineyard Wind offshore, plus a 900-MW gas plant in Ohio, the broader trend is dominated by utility-scale solar (207 projects) and batteries (95 projects), signaling where near-term growth is concentrated even as onshore wind development has slowed.
