In September 2022, one month after the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, the EIA tracked approximately 123 GW of planned utility-scale PV, land-based wind, and battery projects (of which 78 GW had not yet started construction). Since then, 60 GW of new projects have been added to the dataset, 38 GW of which has not yet started construction.
