New data from the annual update of the Local Government Renewables Action Tracker shows that U.S. cities bought 4,370 megawatts (MW) of clean energy in 2021 — enough to power more than 940,000 U.S. households annually. The 2021 figure surpasses the 2020 total by about 4%, and the number is expected to increase as additional public information becomes available about 2021 deals. In 2021, 155 local governments signed 290 renewable energy deals, 25% more cities and 55% more deals than the 2020 record.
