By 2025, more than $14 billion in clean energy investments have already been canceled or postponed in the United States. May analysis by the E2 group and consultancy firm Atlas Public Policy. Key reasons include increasing policy uncertainty, permit barriers and development risks, especially around site control and project readiness. While much of the conversation focuses on tax credits and federal policy, the less discussed reality remains land strategy, which often aborts or accelerates projects long before the concrete is poured. Land used to be the easy part: getting a multi-year option for a few thousand dollars; close when ready…

A TÜV Nord-certified white paper showcasing JA Solar’s DesertBlue module series says the modules, which are specifically designed for desert areas and wastelands, exceed industry benchmarks and provide optimized, leveled electricity costs. December 2, 2025 Patrick Jowett Chinese solar manufacturer JA Solar has published a TÜV Nord-certified whitepaper showcasing its DesertBlue module series. The white paper highlights the power generation capacity, weather resistance and performance of JA Solar’s DesertBlue modules in deserts, Gobi areas and wastelands under test conditions and simulations. Desert-Gobi-Wasteland environments cover nearly 27% of China’s territory and about a quarter of the global land area, according to…
By Brad Kramer December 2, 2025 The renewable energy industry continues to see reductions in projects and other initiatives. Companies canceled, closed and scaled back more than $4.4 billion worth of large-scale renewable energy projects and factories in October, bringing the total cost of canceled projects in the private sector to more than $28.7 billion in 2025 alone, E2’s report said. latest monthly analysis of sustainable energy projects. The cancellations and scalebacks will eliminate nearly 9,000 previously announced and current jobs, bringing the total number of jobs lost to abandoned projects this year to nearly 30,000. The October cancellations and…

In this blog, Nicholas Baker, co-founder of Green Partners Adjusting (GPA), founding sustainable energy loss expert, explores how losses on solar energy projects are increasingly falling out of the hands of project owners.As the European solar sector matures, the size of utility projects has grown dramatically. Fifteen years ago, a typical solar farm might have generated 10 to 20 MW. Today, developments of over 250 MW are becoming commonplace, with 100 MW sites now more standard across the European continent. This scale ensures efficiency and lower energy costs, but also increases the financial risks if something goes wrong.This increasing exposure…
