Actions to expand generation and consumption of solar and wind energy are seen in three distinct arenas: (1) incentivizing renewable energy production and use, (2) increasing the use of public lands for solar and wind energy projects, and (3) expanding electricity. Actions to expand generation and consumption of solar and wind energy are seen in three distinct arenas: (1) incentivizing renewable energy production and use, (2) increasing the use of public lands for solar and wind energy projects, and (3) expanding electricity. The new tax law, commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, rolled back many clean energy tax credits and imposed new restrictions, pressuring early-stage wind and solar pipelines. Wind and solar investments in the first half of 2025 fell 18%, to nearly US$35 billion (prior to the. In our latest Short-Term Energy Outlook, we forecast that wind and solar energy will lead growth in U. power generation for the next two years. Our Commissioners come from. Boston, MA – November 20, 2024 – In a first-of-its-kind renewable energy aggregation, higher education institutions, healthcare systems, and a group of public and nonprofit organizations in Greater Boston and the North Shore are adding two new large-scale renewable energy projects to regional power. Solar photovoltaics (PV) and wind power have been growing at an accelerated pace, more than doubling in installed capacity and nearly doubling their share of global electricity generation from 2018 to 2023.
