Keeping Current:
Clean Energy Policy & Investment Report
Q3 2025

Today’s reality is that energy demand is increasing at the fastest rate in several decades while production and infrastructure investments lag behind, making efficient interconnection and permitting for new generation and transmission essential to keeping pace; without predictable, timely approvals, energy infrastructure cannot scale fast enough to support economic growth. Rising energy demand also drives energy prices, and as demand continues to outstrip supply, utilities are forced to rely on costly short-term or high-cost generation sources, driving higher energy prices for households and businesses.

This report highlights the trends shaping the clean energy economy and what chambers and economic development organizations should monitor in the coming months.
