Reply to comment by twilliwilkinsonshire in Chart: Clean energy to make up 84% of new US power capacity in 2023 by captainquirk

This is just nameplate capacity best I can tell, so it's just the maximum output rate that the installed batteries will be able to do.

Solar and batteries will definitely occupy a much smaller portion of real-world energy.

The chart has this caption right above it:

>Solar, wind, battery storage and nuclear make up 84% of utility-scale generating capacity planned to come online this year

So IMHO batteries should not be included.
