Vanishing renewable energy credits: US tax incentives may not be so critical

CALGARY, Alberta (June 4, 2025) — Enverus Intelligence® Research (EIR), a subsidiary of Enverus, the most trusted energy-dedicated SaaS company that leverages generative AI across its solutions, has released a new report evaluating successful renewable energy development amid today’s federal policy uncertainty in the U.S.

“While 517 gigawatts of queued capacity depends on federal tax credits to stay viable, it’s important to highlight that 284 gigawatts can move forward without them. If these projects are built at the same pace as last year, that is enough to sustain today’s buildout pace for more than six years,” said Corianna Mah, analyst at EIR.

“Successful renewable development in 2025 will depend on maximizing revenue through smart contract strategies, prioritizing projects with strong state support and grid economics, and driving down costs with better site selection and design,” Mah said. “Renewable energy developers who leverage advanced data tools will lead the way.”

Key takeaways from the report:
For successful renewable project development in 2025, EIR believes the following three factors are key:

  1. Maximizing revenue by sustaining strong Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) demand amid rising prices, while capturing additional value through revenue stacking strategies such as co-locating storage and load.
  2. Prioritizing portfolios that leverage favorable state policies, high Renewable Energy Certificates (REC) prices, and low network upgrade costs to enhance competitiveness.
  3. Improving cost efficiencies by reducing capex through smarter site selection enabled by early insight into network upgrades, combined with iterative design for optimal Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE).
