Over the first five months of 2026, utility-scale solar output rose 21.6% from a year earlier, while coal generation dropped 10.9%

Swanson’s Law: Each time the world’s installed solar capacity doubles, the cost of producing it has fallen by about 20%.

Utility-scale solar cost around $359 per megawatt-hour in 2009. By 2026, it sat near $69.
