New U.S. Energy Policies and Their Impact on Clean Energy Projects

This IDC Perspective discusses the new U.S. energy policies that will significantly impact clean energy incentives and projects."New U.S. energy policies are impacting clean energy projects and the energy transition momentum. Regulatory rollbacks on clean energy tax credits, reduced environmental protections, and withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement are shifting the U.S. federal energy policy focus away from clean energy technologies and toward fossil fuels. Many state regulations are expected to continue to back clean energy projects and initiatives. Regardless, clean energy projects and the energy transition to a certain extent are slowing down in the United States because of federal energy policies," said John Villali, senior research director, IDC Energy Insights.
