U.S. Solar Output Tops Coal for First Time, NEE Highlighted
What happened
U.S. solar power generation surpassed coal-fired output for the first time on record, marking a structural inflection in the domestic electricity mix. NextEra Energy (NEE), the nation's largest renewable energy producer by installed capacity, was identified as a dividend-paying utility positioned within this energy-mix shift. NEE shares closed at $88.56 on June 27, a gain of 0.80% on the session. The company operates the country's largest combined wind and solar generation portfolio.
