US Clean Energy Surges to 45 GW Amid Regulatory Challenges
The US is set to achieve a record 45 GW of new clean energy installations in 2026, despite regulatory hurdles under the Trump administration. This growth is largely driven by an increasing demand for electricity, expected to rise 39% by 2035.

The US is projected to see 45 GW of new clean energy capacity added in 2026, surpassing previous records by 25%. This growth comes amid a backdrop of regulatory challenges, including restrictions on renewable energy projects and a focus on fossil fuels by the Trump administration.
The demand for electricity is anticipated to increase by 39% by 2035, primarily due to data centers and electrification trends. Moreover, a national emergency declaration restricts foreign equipment imports for the electricity grid, citing cybersecurity concerns. This may impact supply chains and increase domestic production requirements, posing potential risks to energy infrastructure.
