"WASHINGTON - Wind and solar energy projects will be the fastest growing source of new generation on the U.S. power grid for the next two years, the U.S. Energy Information Administration is forecasting in a new report.
Solar generation is projected to grow by 10 percent in 2019 and 17 percent in 2020, while wind would grow 12 percent and 14 percent over the same years.

'This projected growth is a result of new generating capacity the industry expects to bring online,' the report read. 'About 11 gigawatts (GW) of wind capacity is scheduled to come online in 2019, which would be the largest amount of new wind capacity installed in the United States since 2012.'"
