The State of Clean Energy Manufacturing in Q3 2025

Since 2021, the United States has experienced an unprecedented clean energy manufacturing boom, bringing hundreds of thousands of jobs to communities across the country. For many years, supportive federal policies accelerated private investments in clean energy manufacturing. However, the first nine months of 2025 have seen a stark change. Trump administration policies and cuts to clean energy tax credits have slowed growth considerably and threatened progress. This brief analyzes announced investments and associated jobs for clean energy manufacturing, cancellations of projects, and recent changes in the domestic clean manufacturing landscape.
