In 2023, both the U.S. solar and offshore wind industries grew rapidly in spite of ongoing challenges posed by the global supply chain, the regulatory landscape, and interest rate hikes. Several offshore wind farms are nearing completion and two have already begun delivering power to the grid, while a record 33 GW of solar capacity was added to the U.S. grid last year.Experts in both industries say they expect positive trends for these two renewable resources to continue this year, even as those challenges continue. The Inflation Reduction Act and the massive clean energy investments it’s generating play a significant role in that confidence, they say.https://www.utilitydive.com/news/renewable-energy-outlook-offshore-wind-solar-labor-workforce-supply-chain-transmission-ira-2024/703700/?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Issue:%202024-01-19%20Utility%20Dive%20Newsletter%20%5Bissue:58316%5D&utm_term=Utility%20Dive  (ICE LOS ANGELES)
