UK: National Grid delivered a record year for electricity connections in 2025, plugging 2.4 GW of new generation into the transmission network. Six major projects were completed, with landmark renewable schemes at the heart of the programme, including Britain’s largest solar farm and its biggest battery energy storage system.
The work builds on the 3 GW of new connections achieved in 2024, which featured a new interconnector between Wales and Ireland. Over the last five years, National Grid has connected 12.6 GW of generation capacity across England and Wales.
In April, Britain’s largest solar array, the 373 MW Cleve Hill Solar Park, started exporting electricity after National Grid completed connection works at its Cleve Hill substation in Kent. Later in September, National Grid finished upgrades and commissioning at the Lackenby substation in North Yorkshire, preparing the site for RWE’s Sofia Offshore Wind Farm, one of the largest offshore wind projects in the world.
Battery storage was another major focus. Over the summer, Statera Energy’s Thurrock Storage project, the UK’s largest battery energy storage system, connected to National Grid’s Tilbury substation in Essex, adding 300 MW of flexible capacity for London and the South East. In total, more than 400 MW of additional battery storage connections were completed during 2025, with projects across West Yorkshire, North Yorkshire, Leicestershire, Merseyside and Greater Manchester.
National Grid also delivered nearly 0.5 GW of demand connections. In November, the company energised its new Little Horsted substation in East Sussex, enabling UK Power Networks to supply homes and businesses and meet rising demand. Elsewhere, upgrades at Willesden supported power supply for a new data centre.
By working closely with developers and its supply chain, National Grid is helping to decarbonise the power system while ensuring reliable electricity for homes and businesses.

Us Market On Course To Hit 737.8 Gw Of Solar By 2035The U.S. is on track to deploy 737.8 GW of solar by the end of 2035, according to analysis by London-based consultancy firm GlobalData.
GlobalData says the U.S will add 47.9 GW of solar in 2025, slightly below the record 49 GW deployed in 2024.
The annual deployment rate is then expected to slow, with GlobalData projecting 42.2 GW of added solar in 2026, 44.8 GW in 2027, 41.7 GW in 2028 and 41.6 GW in 2029. At the end of the decade, the U.S. cumulative solar capacity is on course to stand at 449.6 GW.
Annual deployments are forecast to begin increasing in the early 2030s, with GlobalData projecting 42.7 GW of new solar in 2030, 44.8 GW in 2031, 47.9 GW in 2032 and 49.8 GW in 2033. The U.S. is then expected to surpass the 50 GW threshold in 2034 and 2035, with annual deployments of 51 GW and 52 GW, leading to 737.8 GW by the end of 2035.
Total renewables capacity in the U.S. is set to reach 1.06 TW by 2035, GlobalData’s analysis adds, more than doubling from the 414.5 GW recorded at the end of 2024.
The consultancy’s analysis says solar deployment over the next ten years will be driven by state procurement targets, distributed generation policies, net billing and net metering frameworks, and large-scale utility contracting across key markets such as Texas, California and the Midwest.
However, trade and tariff measures introduced in 2025 have added cost pressure and uncertainty for renewables reliant on imported components, while higher input costs have slowed project timelines, increased capital requirements and contributed to delays and cancellations.
Mohammed Ziauddin, power analyst at GlobalData, said despite policy shifts and tariff-related cost pressures, renewable energy remains the primary driver of capacity growth in the U.S. power sector through to 2035.
Ziauddin added that between 2025 and 2030, renewable investment is expected to reach around $442.2 billion, which he said reflects the scale of ongoing solar and wind development across key regional markets.
“Solar and wind continue to expand at scale, supported by state policies and private sector demand, while gas and nuclear investments address capacity adequacy and longer-term system needs,” Ziauddin concluded. “Together, these trends are reshaping the U.S. electricity system into a more diversified and resilient market over the long term.”

Pv Industry Urges New York City To Double Solar Target, Add 2 Gw Of StorageFrom pv magazine USA
The New York Solar Energy Industries Association has recommended nine ways for the administration of New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani to speed solar and storage deployment in the city, in a “solar+storage playbook.”
The playbook’s top proposal is for the city of 8.5 million people to raise its solar goal to 2 GW by 2035 and create a new storage goal of 2 GW by 2030. That “matters,” the playbook says, because the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) projects that New York City could have reliability shortfalls over the next several years, and distributed solar and storage “are our fastest and cheapest tools” to meet the city’s needs for clean, reliable power.
The playbook calls for Mamdani to lift a “de facto ban” on residential batteries in the city by supporting a city council bill that would align the city’s fire code with New York State’s recently enacted fire code. The bill would enable “safe residential and medium[-sized]” batteries that meet rigorous UL safety standards, and help provide resilience to power outages, the playbook says.
Describing New York City as a “load pocket,” with high density and high peak electrical demand, the playbook also asks Mamdani to call on utility Con Edison to grant community-scale batteries “transparent and fair access” to the distribution grid.
Rooftop solar
The city’s Department of Buildings, the playbook says, should enable owners of large buildings to purchase renewable energy credits from owners of small buildings who install solar, which would help the large building owners comply with the city’s Local Law 97, which requires them to reduce their buildings’ greenhouse gas emissions.
To speed electrical inspections for solar projects, the playbook says the Department of Buildings should either enable self-certification of projects, or authorize the use of special inspection agencies.
The playbook recommends detailed action items for each recommended policy. In two programmatic strategies, it recommends launching public education campaigns to promote clean energy adoption and acceptance, and scaling up solar-plus-storage at city-owned buildings.
Distributed solar and storage “will play a critical role” in the mayor-elect’s commitment to affordability, the report says. “These technologies lower energy costs for families, improve resilience against outages, and advance climate goals – all while creating good-paying jobs in New York City.”
The NYSEIA report is titled “Leveraging Solar and Energy Storage to Power an Affordable, Resilient New York City.”
