Utility Solar Capacity and Generation by Type and County: 2022

Energy data is collected for power plants that have a nameplate capacity of 1 MW or more. Counties that are gray had no utility-scale solar capacity. Data originates from the California Energy Commission, and is classified using the Jenk’s Natural Break’s method. Projection: NAD 1983 California (Teale) Albers. Data is for 2022 and is current as of August 7, 2023. For more information, contact Gordon Huang at gordon.huang@energy.ca.gov or John Hingtgen at john.hingtgen@energy.ca.gov.
