United States Renewable Energy Market Growth Analysis - Forecast Trends, Market Size, Share and Outlook (2025-2034)

The United States renewable energy market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 10.10% between 2025 and 2034.

With rising investments in the solar, wind, and hydroelectric power infrastructure, demand for renewable energy in the United States is expected to increase in the forecast period. In January 2024, the city of Charlotte commenced the construction of a 537-acre solar farm in Denton, North Carolina.

In addition, renewable energy sources such as solar and wind have become increasingly cost-competitive, making them economically viable alternatives to traditional fossil fuels. The cost of electricity from solar PV and onshore wind has fallen by 89% and 69% between 2010 and 2022, which has promoted the renewable energy market development in US.

Furthermore, US government has implemented several incentives to support deployment of renewable energy, which have contributed to the United States renewable energy market growth. These incentives include Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), the Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS), Clean Energy Standard (CES), the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) program, and the Transportation and Climate Initiative (TCI).

Additionally, the emerging market for green hydrogen over traditional hydrogen presents opportunities for market growth as green hydrogen can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation sector of the US, which is responsible for 29% of global greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, the US government has announced investments in clean hydrogen hubs, which will support the production, storage, delivery, and consumption of green hydrogen. For instance, Florida Power & Light constructed a 20 MW green hydrogen plant in 2023.

According to United States renewable energy market analysis, hydropower is one of the most traditional forms of renewable energy. The US had more than 2,200 hydroelectric power plants, with a total installed capacity of 80.3 gigawatts (GW) as of 2019. The largest hydroelectric power plant in the U.S. is the Grand Coulee Dam in Washington, with a capacity of 6.8 GW. Wind energy segment also holds a substantial market share due to expansion of onshore and offshore wind farms in US. For instance, the construction of the first large-scale offshore wind project, Vineyard Wind was started in 2021 which can further drive the market growth in future.
