1 EIA, an independent arm of the Department of Energy, is the primary public source of energy statistics and forecasts for the United States. The estimated amount of new generating capacity is taken from the Excel output spreadsheet for the Annual Energy Outlook 2008 report. Note that EIA forecasts assume no change to the laws and regulations

Concentrating solar power, sometimes also referred to as solar-thermal power, was strongly pursued in the 1980s and 1990s, but renewed interest has emerged recently. At present only 0.4 GW are operating at large-scale plant levels, generating some 1 TWh annually, using mostly parabolic troughs, but also tower, dish and Fresnel designs.
Solar Heat and Power relocated to the United States in 2007 and was renamed as Ausra. The company began operation of its 130,000-square-foot (12,000 m 2) solar thermal power systems plant in Las Vegas in July 2008. The facility was the first comprehensive solar thermal manufacturing plant in the United States.
