IRA credits and energy demand continue to drive renewables investments

Despite the Trump administration’s opposition to the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and its focus on fossil fuels, renewable energy investments remain strong due to high electricity demand. Analysts expect IRA tax credits to remain largely intact, supporting clean energy development. Industry leaders highlight that 95% of new power projects in the U.S. are clean energy-based, driven by cost competitiveness and the need for infrastructure expansion. While some financing decisions are on hold amid policy uncertainty, investors continue to fund projects already under construction. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas recently reported record clean energy deployment, showing sector momentum. Experts believe that while some IRA incentives, such as offshore wind credits, may be cut, most renewable investments will remain viable due to strong market demand and corporate decisions independent of political shifts.
