Almost 2 Gw of utility solar brought online this year through September (almost double last year for that time period) plus Ivanpah and Cresent Dunes power towers (~900Mw between them) both expected to be online by the end of the year. A couple of smaller projects should round it out to over 3 Gw new online in 2013. That almost doubles the amount provided by utilities. That also doesn’t include commercial and residential installations which I believe are about the same amount again. That will still leave us just short of 1% of utility generated electricity but it certainly hasn’t slowed down.
Wind, however, took a huge hit this year with just under 1 Gw installed through September vs. more than 5 Gw for that time period last year.
