This fact sheet outlines how the BAAJA can unlock American clean energy potential, including by:

• Expanding Transmission Capacity: Expanded transmission projects could enable an estimated 200 GW+ of clean energy development. Ìý
• Removing Gridlocks: The legislation will help move forward clean energy projects, including the 100 GW+ of projects that have been blocked or delayed by permitting and regulatory barriers. Ìý
• Increasing Transfer Capacity: New transmission capacity typically delivers ~1.4x clean energy development — connecting abundant, low-cost American wind and solar resources to the customers that need them.Ìý
• Delivering Wins for American Communities: Unlocked projects could lower consumer prices, build a more reliable grid, and support nearly five million jobs in communities across the country. Ìý

The bill provides three principal protections for projects:

• Certainty for projects that already have their federal approvals
• Enforceable deadlines for projects still in permitting
• Significant remedies for systematic disparate treatment of particular project types

It also makes broad changes to:

• Federal transmission siting, planning and cost allocation
• NEPA
• Clean Water Act
• Endangered Species Act
• Historic-preservation review
• Federal-land renewable-energy permitting

Delivered quarterly, the US Energy Storage Monitor from the Â鶹´«Ã½ Association (ACP) and Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables provides the clean power industry with exclusive insights through comprehensive research on energy storage markets, deployments, policies, regulations and financing in the United States.

The U.S. energy storage market reached another milestone, installing a record 18.9 GWh of battery energy storage systems in Q2 2026, according to the latest U.S. Energy Storage Monitor report released by ACP and Wood Mackenzie.

This momentum was driven by a shift toward longer-duration storage systems and stronger residential capacity, highlighting the growing value of energy storage as a technology that can deliver capacity to help meet the speed and reliability needs of our grid.

The energy storage market expanded 17% year-over-year, despite an overall 7% decline in installed power capacity in Q2. Utility-scale installations reached 4.7 GW/17.6 GWh, and the market is expected to continue expanding, with utility-scale storage projected to see an average annual increase of 8% over the next five years.

Report Highlights:

• The U.S. installed 5.4 GW/18.9 GWh of battery energy storage systems in Q2 2026.
• Total GW installations down 7%, but GWh up 17% year-over-year. A new record.
• National average duration of systems increased from 2.8 hours to 3.5 hours year-over-year.
• Annual US energy storage installations to grow over 50% in MW terms over the next five years, reaching 207 GW/715 GWh installed cumulatively by 2031.

The report also includesÌýkey quarterly trends and analysis on impactful market regulation, policy, system prices, and supply chain across all segments. The report provides industry professionals with actionable and intelligent insights to better inform business decisions.

On October 6, Our Energy, a non-profit dedicated to consumer education, is launching the Big Power, Zero Drama, an industry-led consumer awareness campaign—first of its kind for the clean energy industry. The campaign will feature a well-known Hollywood celebrity to help reach the moveable middle in America, engaging them in a new conversation about the importance of clean energy. The message is simple: America has a growing need for more power from a variety of sources, and wind and solar are essential to a stronger and more resilient future.

Just ahead of the launch, we’ll host an exclusive PowerCast previewing the campaign. We’ll explore the strategy behind Big Power, Zero Drama and examine how the campaign positions clean energy as relatable, culturally relevant, and embedded in everyday American life, with content designed to win hearts and minds. This PowerCast will provide an inside look at the industry-led campaign strategy, data, rollout plan, and a preview of the ads and creative assets ahead of the launch. The conversation will also include the longer-term plan to scale this campaign, with industry’s support, in the future.

The 2026 Q2 Clean Power Market Report showcases steady development in the solar and storage sectors, while the pipeline for wind projects has slowed due to ongoing federal pushbacks and delays.

The quarter marked the strongest second quarter and first half of a year on record for clean energy deployments, demonstrating that companies and utilities continue to recognize the value of clean energy as a fast, affordable power source, even in an unstable policy environment.

Report Highlights:

• New Mexico led the nation in new clean power capacity additions, adding 3.6 GW to the grid from Pattern Energy’s SunZia project and ending Texas’ two-and-a-half-year streak as the top state.
• Battery storage surpassed 50 GW of installed capacity nationwide and now stands at nearly 53 GW.
• The clean power pipeline reached a record 205 GW, up 20 GW (11%) year-over-year.
• Â鶹´«Ã½ procurement totaled 14.5 GW, up 23% year over year, with power purchase agreement announcements reaching an all-time first-half record.
• Despite the sector’s strong performance, federal permitting and review delays continue to threaten future development, particularly for land-based wind projects, contributing to a 4% decline in the land-based wind pipeline.

ACP partnered with leading developers, legal experts, and market innovators to explore the state of play and introduce a new standardized ITC transfer agreement form.Ìý

The new Tax Credit Transfer Agreement (TCTA) form is designed to standardize the legal documentation for these transactions, aiming to lower barriers to entry, reduce transaction costs, and shorten deal timelines, especially for first-time buyers and smaller sellers.

Key details about the TCTA form and the transferability market:

• The market for buying and selling clean-energy tax credits is growing fast: Tax credit transfers have scaled dramatically — from under $10 billion in 2023 to an estimated $40 billion in 2025 across various technologies like solar, wind, manufacturing, storage, and nuclear.
• ACP and industry partners have introduced the new Tax Credit Transfer Agreement (TCTA) to make deals more accessible to a broader range of market participants:Ìý Tax credit buyers and sellers will have a common starting place to transact transfer deals. ACP’s goal in creating the form with its industry partners is to make the form broadly available and widely used similar to the ubiquitous ISDA framework for derivative transactions.
• This is just the first step — more standardized tools are coming:ÌýExperts expect similar templates for other credits like 45Y production tax credits and 45X manufacturing incentives further expanding the pool of potential tax equity investors. As these tools roll out, buying and selling credits should become easier, helping clean energy scale more quickly.ÌýÌý

A consistent, tested, and accepted template provides the confidence and guidance these new participants need to transact.

The difference is clear:

• Faster to build: Â鶹´«Ã½ projects spent an average of less than a year in development last year, while gas turbines spent two to three years in advanced development and construction.
• Faster to connect: Due to its robust project pipeline, clean power projects take six monthsÌýto two years to connect to the grid, whereas unplanned gas generators can take an average of five to seven years.

Clean energy is keeping our country’s grid stronger and less reliant on slower, costlier sources of energy. To quickly and affordably meet future energy needs, we need to leverage the speed and low cost of clean energy projects.
