POST-TRUMP SHIFTS IN INVESTMENT
Despite significant policy uncertainty and reversals, many clean energy manufacturing investments continue to advance, while some have slowed (meaning they have been paused, canceled, or reduced in size).  Here is our tally of what has happened since Trump took office on January 20, 2025.

During Q1 2025, clean energy manufacturing projects have slowed (been canceled, paused, or substantially delayed or reduced in size) at 2.7 times the rate they were slowing during 2024, as shown in the chart below.

RUBRIC FOR SLOWING VS. ADVANCING PROJECTS

SLOWED:  Project was cancelled; company went bankrupt; project delayed by more than 6 months beyond previously announced target production date; project lost a previously announced significant grant, loan, or capital investment; or project scale (jobs or capital investment) decreased by more than 25%.

ADVANCED:  Newly announced project; project status advanced (ie., from announced to construction, or construction to pilot, partial production, or production, etc.); project secured a significant new grant, loan, or capital investment; or project scale (jobs or capital investment) increased by more than 25%.
