2023 stands out as a pivotal year for climate action and the expansion of renewable energy. In the United States, an impressive 33 gigawatts (GW) of solar energy are projected to be integrated into the national grid by year’s end, reaffirming solar power’s status as the most rapidly expanding energy source. Forecasts by the International Energy Agency suggest a remarkable shift by 2027, with solar expected to eclipse both coal and natural gas to become the predominant energy generation source in terms of cumulative power capacity by technology. Concurrently, there is an intensified commitment to ensuring that the transition to clean energy yields significant dividends for working families and lower-income households —the very communities that stand to benefit most from the creation of new jobs and the reduction of energy expenses.
