What share of US total energy generation will come from solar power in 2021?

Market Rules

According to the report released in 2020 by the Rhodium Group, electricity in the United States was mainly generated by natural gas, coal, and nuclear power plants. Only 15% came from renewable sources, such as wind, hydroelectric and solar.

According to the report, in 2019 and 2020 the share of wind energy in the USA was 2%. However, there is some expectation that this number might go up if Joe Biden delivers on his electoral promises to raise the incentives for the generation of renewable and sustainable energy.

The alternative that corresponds to the share of solar energy in the total US energy generation in 2021, according to the Rhodium Group, will be considered the winning outcome of this market.
