Solar Panels Are Now Producing So Much Power That They’re Leaving Nuclear Plants in the Dust

"Solar is now the engine of the power transition."

As the world struggles to access oil as a consequence of the US war on Iran, the scramble for alternative forms of energy has become a mad dash.

And contrary to the energy future some have imagined, the hunt for new power sources has supercharged the solar trade—leaving even nuclear power way back in the rearview mirror.

According to new reporting by the BBC, photovoltaics will account for 10 percent of the world’s power generation by the end of 2026, a threshold that will see solar energy officially surpass nuclear fission.

Google signed a deal with Voltus, a distributed energy resource platform, to build a 1 gigawatt virtual power plant to provide extra capacity for the surging electricity needs of data centers.

As Google and other companies construct more data centers to keep up with the AI revolution, more strain has been put on the power grid. One way to deal with this issue is to pay consumers to cut back on electricity usage during peak hours, savings that, when coordinated, save a power plant’s worth of electricity. Google expanded this effort on Thursday, signing a deal with Voltus to extend its previous flexible power capacity deal for PJM Interconnection, the country’s largest regional transmission organization.

Keep Fighting! It’s Working! Nearly Half Of The Data Centers Planned For 2026 Have Now Been Delayed Or Canceled

Communities across the U.S. are pushing back as large data centers continue expanding into local areas. These facilities require enormous amounts of electricity, and many also depend on substantial water resources for cooling.

An estimate from Sightline Climate suggests that 30% to 50% of large U.S. data center projects planned for completion in 2026 could face delays or cancellations. Power shortages, equipment delays and infrastructure constraints are among the factors contributing to these setbacks.

Community opposition can also influence whether projects move forward, although not every delay or cancellation is directly caused by local residents. The growing debate is forcing communities, utilities and developers to examine how AI infrastructure affects electricity, water, land and local resources.

As AI expansion continues, public participation is becoming an increasingly important part of decisions about where and how new data centers are built.

AI Is Expanding Fast — But Should Forests, Rivers and Wildlife Pay the Price?

AI data centers need vast computing infrastructure, reliable electricity and effective cooling. Their construction can also require large areas of land and place pressure on local power and water supplies, depending on the facility’s design and location.

The challenge is to expand AI without unnecessarily damaging ecosystems. Reusing industrial land, improving cooling efficiency, using recycled water where feasible and powering facilities with low-carbon electricity can reduce environmental impacts. Technological progress should be measured not only by computing power, but also by how responsibly it uses natural resources.
