预计今年美国将增加33吉瓦的太阳能发电量。 美国能源信息署（EIA）周三表示，开发商今年有望在美国增加33吉瓦的太阳能发电量，约占该国2025 年计划新增发电量的一半。 基于对开发商的调查，美国能源信息署预计，美国的大规模太阳能发电量将达到历史最高水平。与此同 时，用于储存太阳能和其他能源的新电池储能系统规模也可能在2025年创下年度纪录。 除了太阳能以外，风力发电和天然气发电将占新增产能的其余部分。 去年，得克萨斯州超过加利福尼亚州成为太阳能发电规模最大的州，占2025年迄今为止太阳能发电量的 四分之一以上。在今年剩下的时间里，该州计划再增加9.7吉瓦的太阳能发电量，占同期美国计划开发 的太阳能发电量的近一半。得克萨斯州晴朗的天气、大量土地的可用性和快速增长的电力需求吸引了太 阳能的发展。 太阳能不会产生造成全球气候变暖的温室气体排放，使其成为美国各州脱碳计划的核心，同时也满足了 大型科技公司和其他扩张行业带来的创纪录的高电力需求。然而，过去几年推动太阳能发展的许多联邦 政府财政激励措施将在特朗普政府领导下减少，这给该技术的未来发展增加了不确定性。 本月16日，美国政府公布了新的清洁能源企业税收抵免资格指引 ...
