Clean Energy Growth in 2025: Policy Uncertainty, Data Centers, and Opportunity
If you think renewable energy has already passed its peak, think again. Today’s clean energy industry is at a crossroads: policy uncertainty on one side, explosive demand from artificial intelligence (AI) and data centers on the other. Together, they create enormous opportunities.
For every headline about fossil fuels, there’s another about the surge in solar and renewable energy technologies. The message for clean energy companies: stay focused, adapt to policy changes, and keep moving forward. A year from now, the renewable energy market may be vastly different. Companies that turn today’s policy uncertainty into an advantage by sharpening messaging and leveraging public demand for clean energy will be the ones that outpace their competitors.
The Road Ahead for Renewable Energy
The challenge facing the renewable energy sector is complex. On one hand, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) has reshaped the landscape for developers, manufacturers, and investors. On the other, surging electricity demand is driving unprecedented opportunities for growth.
In fact, the global clean energy investment is expected to reach $2.2 trillion this year. The United States may be lagging, but companies that clearly communicate where they fit into this evolving environment will be the ones that enjoy a slice of that global investment “pie.”
How Solar, Storage, and Manufacturing Companies Are Adapting
We’ve already seen our clients move quickly to adapt—seizing opportunities created by shifting incentives and shorter project timelines.
OBBBA expedited deadlines to get solar projects on the books or completely installed. The most successful players are changing messaging quickly and helping customers understand the urgency behind making purchasing decisions and starting projects as soon as possible.
Energy storage and manufacturing firms are adjusting communications strategies to highlight speed, reliability, and ROI.
Having worked across solar, storage, and clean energy manufacturing, we help companies translate technical strengths into compelling value propositions for investors, stakeholders, and customers.
The Data Center Energy Opportunity
Adding clarity to communications is especially important as data centers surge toward consuming up to 12% of U.S. electricity by 2030—the largest new source of power demand in decades. Companies that connect their renewable solutions to this demand will capture investor and market attention.
Why RE+ 2025 Is the Clean Energy Event of the Decade
RE+ 2025 is more than just another industry event. With more than 40,000 clean energy industry professionals expected in Las Vegas, it’s where strategies take shape, partnerships form, and companies show how they’re ready to lead the renewable transition.
Our team will be on the ground in Vegas—supporting clients, engaging with media, and previewing insights from our upcoming Data Center Energy Report. We’ll also be at Yotta, which brings together leaders across the entire digital infrastructure industry, which is taking place in Las Vegas at the same time.
RE+ and Yotta convening at Las Vegas offers in the same week offers everyone attending a unique cross-industry perspective on how renewable energy and data center growth intersect.
Looking Beyond 2025
The clean energy companies that thrive today and into 2026 and beyond won’t just have innovative technology; they’ll have leadership that embraces policy shifts, meets rising demand, and communicates a sharp vision for the future.
We’re excited to meet industry leaders at RE+ and Yotta and to help shape the roadmap for their success now and in the next era of renewable energy growth.
