"The Biden administration says it’s set to approve dozens of commercial-scale solar, wind and geothermal power projects capable of producing enough electricity to power millions of homes by the end of 2025.
The Interior Department, in a report submitted to Congress that was dated last month but released today, forecasts that it’s on track to approve 48 wind, solar and geothermal energy projects with the capacity to produce an estimated 31,827 megawatts of electricity — enough to power roughly 9.5 million homes — by the end of the fiscal 2025 budget cycle.
The vast majority of that clean power — 29,595 MW — will be produced by solar projects, according to the Interior report, which was required by the Energy Act of 2020. That means the Biden administration is well on its way to exceeding the goal in the Energy Act of permitting 25,000 MW of new onshore renewable energy projects by 2025."
