Global floating solar capacity is projected to expand rapidly over the next decade, reaching around 77 GW of installed capacity by 2033, with the Asia-Pacific region expected to lead this growth. This expansion reflects falling generation costs, currently between USD 0.05 and 0.07 per kWh, and continued design innovations that are making floating solar a viable alternative to land-based systems. The Global Floating Solar Framework consolidates global experience and presents it in a form that is practical, actionable, and adaptable.

Since 2010, the average price of electricity across the United States has risen by almost 30% with no signs of slowing down. This year alone, electric utilities across the nation have requested rate increases totaling $71.2 billion through 2028. As a result, the public has been playing a blame game with prices, pointing the finger at everything from the rise in new AI data centers, grid investments, growth in clean energy, to other sources of electricity demand. As the U.S. electricity system faces unprecedented challenges, policymakers, regulators and advocates have a choice: chase blame or drive solutions.
