Clean energy stocks are on the move after tax on solar and wind projects was removed from the Senate version of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Nevertheless, Taylor Ogan, CEO of Snow Bull Capital, has warned that the US might have shot itself in the foot by rolling back clean energy subsidies.
Abigail Ross Hopper, the CEO of SEIA, shares similar sentiments, reiterating that the new Senate bill is still harmful to the US renewable sector.
“This legislation undermines the very foundation of America’s manufacturing comeback and global energy leadership,” Abigail Ross Hopper, the CEO of SEIA, said in a statement. “If this bill becomes law, families will face higher electric bills, factories will shut down, Americans will lose their jobs, and our electric grid will grow weaker.”
The remarks come on the senate bill phasing out clean electricity investment and production tax credits for wind and solar projects. The credits played a significant role in the expansion of the renewable energy sector. The legislative headwinds come as the clean energy sector is under pressure from higher interest rates, which have made consumer financing more expensive.
Amid the legislative headwinds, the US green energy sector is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 8.7% between 2024 and 2033, according to Allied Market Research. Technological advancements and the surge in demand for energy storage solutions are expected to accelerate growth.
With that in mind, let’s look at the 11 Best Green Energy Penny Stocks to Buy Right Now.
