June 29 (Reuters) – Trump administration policies that have stalled permits for renewable energy projects are putting more than $121 billion of \u200binvestment at risk and slowing development of wind, solar and storage \u200ccapacity needed to meet rising power demand, according to a report published on Monday.<\/div>\n
The findings by energy research firm Wood Mackenzie highlighted tension between President Donald Trump\u2019s goal of fast-tracking energy infrastructure to \u200bsupport the artificial intelligence boom and his opposition to renewable energy.<\/div>\n
The report said \u200bit looked at early-stage projects valued at $121 billion that face investment \u2060risks due to delays.<\/div>\n
A total of 92 gigawatts of clean energy projects, \u200babout enough to power 69 million homes, face heightened federal scrutiny following changes last \u200byear including a Department of the Interior directive that renewable energy permits at every stage required the approval of senior officials.<\/div>\n
Those measures have lengthened timelines for projects involving federal agencies, including many \u200bon private land that still require permits for wetlands, wildlife or access roads.<\/div>\n
Permitting \u200bin wetland areas, overseen by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, is the primary constraint on \u200cprivate \u2060lands, Wood Mackenzie said. Wind projects are also being held up by sluggish airspace reviews by the Department of Defense.<\/div>\n
Overall, about 32% of the U.S. early-stage renewable pipeline is now subject to additional federal scrutiny, the report said.<\/div>\n
Congressional Republicans and Democrats \u200bhave sought to \u200bpass legislation to \u2060speed permitting for large projects.<\/div>\n
A bill passed by the House of Representatives last year would meaningfully accelerate timelines, Wood Mackenzie \u200bsaid.<\/div>\n
“Permitting remains one of the most critical barriers to advancing new \u200bprojects, \u2060and without more coordinated and predictable processes, delays and uncertainty will continue to weigh on development timelines and investment decisions,\u201d Gaby Ackermann Logan, a research associate at Wood Mackenzie, \u2060said \u200bin a statement.<\/div>\n
The policy shift, alongside federal funding \u200bwithdrawals, is already hitting projects on the ground.<\/div>\n
Around 7 GW of capacity on federal land was cancelled \u200bor stalled in 2025, Wood Mackenzie said.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
