Webinar: "Solar in the Southeast" Ninth Edition Report

The “Solar in the Southeast” report illuminates data, trends, and industry leaders and laggards throughout the region, which includes Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee.

On Thursday, June 25, at 1 PM ET, SACE Clean Energy and Equity Director, Stacey Washington; SACE Energy Analyst, Anne Morrison; SACE Research Director, Maggie Shober; and SACE Executive Director, Dr. Stephen A. Smith, will discuss report highlights, including: 

• Solar growth continued in the Southeast, reaching a cumulative 30 gigawatts (GW) in 2025 as the region is projected to nearly double its amount of solar by 2030. 
• Florida remains the state with the most installed solar capacity in the region, with over 15 GW installed in 2025. 
• Solar continues to be cost-competitive as costs associated with fossil fuel infrastructure trend upward and are passed directly on to customers.
• With utilities across the region forecasting significant demand increase, each utility resource plan is an opportunity to add more solar and battery storage to the grid.

There will be time for Q&As following the report presentation. For those who are unable to tune into the live webinar, a recording, along with the report and a summary article, will be sent to all registrants. The webinar on June 25 is an ideal opportunity to hear more about this year's highlights and the forecasted trends for the next four years, plus ask any clarifying questions.

Background: Since 2018, SACE’s “Solar in the Southeast” reports have shed light on the critical role that utilities, policymakers, and customers play in the growing solar market in the Southeast. As a regional organization, SACE tracks and compiles information from electric utility integrated resource plans (IRPs) that Southeastern utilities file with state-level regulators. These resource plans, along with data on currently operating utility-scale and rooftop solar, are used to produce near-term forecasts for total installed capacity of solar power (in megawatts, MW) for the entire region out to 2030.

In the "Solar in the Southeast" Ninth Edition report, SACE once again offers detailed analysis and information on solar trends at the regional, state, and utility levels at a pivotal moment in our region's energy future.
