Workers install solar panels for the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power's biggest solar and battery storage plant, the Eland Solar and Storage Center in the Mojave Desert in Kern County on Nov. 25, 2024, near California City, Calif. A giant clean power plant in Mojave stores solar electricity for use after the sun sets.
We expect the combined share of generation from solar power and wind power to rise from about 18% in 2025 to about 21% in 2027. In our STEO forecast, utility-scale solar is the fastest-growing source of electricity generation in the United States, increasing from 290 BkWh in 2025 to 424 BkWh by 2027.
California has over 49,000 MW of installed capacity and solar supplies more than 31 percent of California's electricity today, but it must play a bigger role if the state is to reach climate and energy goals.
Other sources of power in L.A.'s portfolio include hydrogen, natural gas, biomass, geothermal, nuclear and coal, which the city aims to decommission by the end of this year.
