Investment in Renewables Reaches Record Levels Globally, BloombergNEF Says

A BloombergNEF report has found that investment in renewables like wind and solar reached record levels globally in the first half of the year. The strategic research provider's 2H 2025 Renewable Energy Investment Tracker shows that small-scale solar and global offshore wind experienced notable growth in H1 2025 while asset finance for onshore wind and utility-scale solar dropped notably from H1 2024 levels. Even so, worldwide investments in new green energy projects reached a record $386 billion between January and July 2025, increasing by 10% from the first half of 2024.

US IRS Publishes New Tax Credit Guidance on Renewable Energy

The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has published new tax credit guidance on renewable energy just weeks after the Trump administration accelerated the expiration of numerous green energy-related tax credits via a massive spending and tax bill, plunging the domestic green energy space into crisis.

The IRS is now releasing new tax credit guidance to help the green energy sector navigate the new, post-Big Beautiful Bill…

US Household Power Bills Surge 10% as Tariffs, Policy Changes Bite

American households are paying higher power bills as the consequences of President Donald Trump's controversial tariffs and renewable energy rollbacks begin to take effect. According to a recent report published by Climate Power, a Washington D.C.-based climate advocacy group, household energy bills across the country have surged by an average of 10% since President Trump assumed office. This contradicts Trump's campaign promise to reduce energy prices in the U.S. as part of his "Energy Dominance" agenda and underscores the repercussions the current GOP administration's policies have had on the American energy landscape. U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright noted that the…

Governmental Inaction on Renewable Energy Targets is Inhibiting Investors

Independent global energy think tank Ember has published a study outlining how government inaction on renewable energy targets is inhibiting investors in the critical but capital-dependent industry. Renewables like solar and wind energy have made major gains over the past decade thanks to policy support and reductions in costs, but such projects require significant capital support in their initial stages, making them heavily reliant on investor funding. However, insufficient government action is making investors uneasy about green energy, and many are considering relocating their capital to other low-risk sectors. According to Ember, countries remain far from achieving the COP28 pledge…

Owners of Data Centers Request US Treasury to Retain Clean Energy Incentives Rules

Data center owners in the United States are calling on the U.S. Treasury to retain clean energy incentives rules for solar and wind energy, arguing that these policies have been instrumental in supporting the data center industry's growth and maintaining its competitiveness against China. The recently-passed Big Beautiful Bill continued the Trump administration's anti-climate action stance by changing energy incentives rules and speeding up the expiration of certain renewable energy subsidies, putting America's nascent green energy industry, and sectors that rely on it like data centers, in significant jeopardy. The Data Center Coalition is asking U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent…

Report Says China’s Renewable Energy Exports Enable Other Countries to Slash Emissions

A recent Carbon Brief report has revealed that China’s surging renewable energy exports are enabling other countries to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. According to the report, Beijing’s renewable energy technology exports, which include electric cars, batteries, and photovoltaic solar panels, are helping other countries increase their green energy adoption rates and cut their emissions. Last year, the report notes, green energy technology exports from China helped lower global greenhouse gas emissions (excluding China) by 1%, and those exports are expected to save around 4 billion tons’ worth of carbon dioxide emissions over their lifetimes. With the CO2 emissions savings…
