LITTLETON, Colorado, May 24 (Reuters) - Solar farms generated less than 6% of the electricity produced by utilities in the United States in 2023, but that annual share vastly understates the critical role that solar plays in enabling power firms to accelerate energy transition efforts.
On a day-to-day basis, solar plants can have such disruptive influence on system electricity flows that utilities have been forced to develop capabilities to rapidly curtail output from other sources and store surplus power for later use.
