据阿纳多卢新闻1月14日消息称，美国能源情报署(EIA)周一宣布，开发商和发电厂所有者计划在2021年开始商业运营，新增发电能力39.7吉瓦。
根据该公告，太阳能将占新增装机容量的最大份额，占39%，其次是风能，占31%。
太阳能预计将在2021年贡献最大，电网连接的公用事业规模太阳能发电量将增加创纪录的15.4吉瓦。
美国能源情报署表示:“大约3%的新发电能力将来自乔治亚州沃格特尔电厂的新核反应堆。”
另外12.2吉瓦的风电装机容量预计将于2021年上线。
将于2021年上线的最大风电项目将是位于俄克拉荷马州的999兆瓦特的Traverse风电场。
除了风能和太阳能装置，EIA预计公用事业规模的电池存储容量将翻两番，因为增加的4.3吉瓦电池电量将于2021年底上线。
总的来说，风能、太阳能和可再生能源的快速增长是电池容量扩张的主要驱动力，因为电池存储系统越来越多地与可再生能源结合在一起。
政府称：“世界上最大的太阳能电池(409兆瓦)正在佛罗里达州的海牛太阳能中心建造；该电池计划于2021年底投入使用。”

US renewable energy installation set to grow in 2021
Developers and power plant owners plan to start commercial operations of 39.7 gigawatts (GW) of new electricity generating capacity in 2021, the US Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) latest inventory of electricity generators announced Monday.
According to the announcement, solar energy will account for the largest share of new capacity at 39%, followed by wind at 31%.
Solar is expected to contribute largely in 2021 with a record-breaking 15.4GW of utility-scale solar capacity additions set for grid connection.
"about 3% of the new capacity will come from the new nuclear reactor at the Vogtle power plant in Georgia," the EIA said.
Another 12.2 GW of wind capacity is scheduled to come online in 2021.
The largest wind project coming online in 2021 will be the 999-megawatt (MW) Traverse wind farm in Oklahoma.
In addition to wind and solar installations, the EIA expects the capacity of utility-scale battery storage to more than quadruple, as the addition of 4.3 GW of battery power is to come online by the end of 2021.
The rapid growth of wind and solar and renewables, in general, is a major driver in the expansion of battery capacity because battery storage systems are increasingly paired with renewables.
"The world's largest solar-powered battery (409 MW) is under construction at the Manatee Solar Energy Center in Florida; the battery is scheduled to be operational by late 2021," the administration said.
