Executive Summary

Signed into law on July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) introduces sweeping changes to the US clean energy policy and investment landscape formed during the Biden administration.

These shifts present new challenges for project developers and clean energy investors alike. This report is designed to help investors navigate the evolving policy environment, uncover emerging opportunities and develop effective strategies to mitigate risk.
