Cleanview

We just published a new report that finds 600 GW of clean energy capacity is at risk of cancellation due to Congress' mega-bill—equivalent to half of America's current electricity generation capacity. Cleanview's project tracker gives us insight into when and where solar, wind, and battery projects are going to be built. Using this tool, our team analyzed the potential impact of the "Big Beautiful Bill" that the Senate is debating this week. It's hard to overstate the impacts and risks to our electric grid this bill poses. In California, 80% of all planned power capacity is at risk. The majority of new capacity across the Northeast, Midwest, and Great Plains would be at risk. The country can’t afford to lose this planned capacity. Electricity demand is rising faster than it has in decades due to data center growth, electrification, and extreme weather. Cutting off the country’s fastest growing sources of generation capacity would raise energy prices for American families and businesses. One recent analysis by Energy Innovation projects that wholesale electricity prices would rise by 50% by 2035 if the bill becomes law. Losing this planned electricity generation capacity also threatens one of the Trump administration’s top goals: beating China in the race to develop artificial intelligence. Less generation capacity would make it difficult for new data centers to come online. The passage this bill and subsequent cancellation of clean energy projects would also threaten jobs across the country. The growth of solar, wind, and battery storage has created millions of jobs in the US. If projects are cancelled developers would be forced to lay off employees. The Senate needs to know that this bill would threaten America's economy, "energy dominance", and geopolitical strength.
