As of October 30, 2025, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) infrastructure report stated that the US installed almost 26 GW of new generation capacity between January and August 2025. [1] The number is up slightly from 23 GW over the same period last year. Solar has continued to dominate new generation resources for most of the past two years now, accounting for 2.7 GW of 4 GW brought online in August alone. The report mentions that FERC also reissued a certificate for Williams Companies to construct and operate its Northeast Supply Enhancement Project. The expansion of the Transco gas pipeline between New Jersey and New York was revived following talks between President Donald Trump and Governor Kathy Hochul in May after the administration froze the Empire Wind project briefly. The White House and the wind project developer have stated that there was a gas-for-wind deal involved, while Hochul has denied striking any bargain.
