Clean energy production in the United States has reached historic levels in the first five months of 2025, outpacing fossil fuel sources in key electricity markets. According to data from Reuters, this surge is primarily driven by solar and wind installations, combined with favorable weather patterns and increased policy support. States like California and Texas have seen particularly strong solar output, contributing to a nationwide trend that reflects growing reliance on renewable sources.
The report highlights that renewable energy, including hydro and nuclear, consistently delivered more electricity than coal and gas during several days in May. Experts view this as a sign of structural change in the U.S. energy mix, not just a temporary spike. With the summer demand season ahead, clean power sources are positioned to play a leading role in meeting national electricity needs while reducing carbon emissions.
