Hybrid Power Plants: Status of Operating and Proposed Plants, 2025 Data Update

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory compiled and synthesized empirical data on U.S. hybrid and co-located power plants, defined as projects that combine two or more generators and/or storage assets at a single point of interconnection. This data product presents an annual snapshot of trends in hybrid and co-located power plants. It summarizes public empirical data, especially from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), and transmission provider interconnection queues. This 2025 edition summarizes data for generators and storage systems coming online through the end of 2024 with a focus on the most recent full calendar year. The latest update contains project-level data on 543 hybrid projects installed through 2024. 

The update includes data synthesis covering: 

1. Deployment and Technology Trends
2. Storage Operational Performance (Efficiencies)
3. PV+Storage Capital Costs (CapEx)
4. PV+Storage Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) and Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) Prices
5. Capacity in Interconnection Queues

These data are made available in several formats, including:

• A Public data file  with non-confidential data on 25 tabs and additional visualizations,
• Data visualizations (click on Tools & Data in the tab on this page ),
• Summary slide deck  

We want to hear from you. If you have specific questions about the data or requests for related analytical support from LBNL staff, you can contact Will Gorman. 

Note: Readers interested in hybrids might also find this other short briefing to be of interest, as it summarizes the top ten key findings from hybrid-related research conducted by our group through 2021.
