Wind energy is powering communities nationwide, and the market is growing. 📈 @USCleanPower's latest Market Pulse: Wind | Fall 2026 report shows how wind is powering communities today and expanding to meet America’s future energy needs. Operational wind capacity reached nearly 166 GW in Q2 2026 — enough to power 48 million homes. And nearly every region of the country is projected to add more wind capacity in the years ahead. Greater permitting certainty can help turn that growth potential into reality, bringing more homegrown energy onto the grid. Explore the findings: cleanpower.org/resources/mar…

Summer in Texas is now a “non-event.” Solar, wind, and battery storage are the reason why. Texas leads the nation in operating clean energy capacity with nearly 100,000 megawatts on the grid — enough to power 16.2 million homes. The Lone Star State sets the standard for what a diversified grid powered by clean energy can deliver: reliable power and lower prices, even during periods of extreme strain.

Over the past year, solar generated 8.9% of total U.S. electricity — enough to power nearly 34 million homes — and is projected to produce 12% of total U.S. electricity generation by 2030. Soak up more facts with our Solar Market Pulse report: bit.ly/4B3BFPr

Love seeing ACPeople in the field!

As electricity demand rises, manufacturers across the U.S. like @ShoalsTech are scaling production of the electrical equipment that forms the backbone of solar and energy storage projects. Producing more of these critical components here at home strengthens domestic supply chains, expands American manufacturing, and supports the infrastructure needed to meet growing energy demand.

Today is National Energy Efficiency Day, and we’re highlighting how quickly clean energy can be built and connected to the grid, delivering efficiency for our grid and our communities. According to recent analysis by ACP’s research team, clean power projects are both the fastest to construct and the fastest to connect to the grid, spending an average of less than a year in development last year and coming online in as short as six months to two years. Clean power is quick to build, quick to scale, and ready to power America efficiently and effectively. Learn more about clean power’s speed to market: cleanpower.org/resources/fac….

The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026 (BAAJA) could deliver major wins for America’s energy future. According to a new fact sheet from ACP’s Research team, the legislation would help move forward 100+ GW of clean energy projects currently stalled in the pipeline and enable more than 200 GW of additional clean energy through transmission expansion. Passing BAAJA is critical to building a more resilient grid, lowering consumer costs, creating good-paying jobs, and delivering more reliable, affordable power for Americans.

Last week, ACP, state wildlife agencies, and conservation partners launched the first national wildlife guidelines for utility-scale solar development, helping advance responsible energy growth while supporting wildlife conservation and habitat stewardship. bit.ly/3TQrxsF

ACP applauds @GovernorVA's 2026 Virginia Energy Plan, which recognizes clean power as a key strategy for delivering reliable, affordable energy to Virginia residents. Read more: virginiamercury.com/2026/10/…

ICYMI: ACP Leadership Was Bringing the Energy to New York Climate Week 👉 ACP CEO @JasonGrumet was spotted around downtown Manhattan, making cameos at @ClimateGroup and @axios events, while ACP COO and President of @CPIWorkforce Kelly Veney Darnell gave young professionals practical insights for navigating careers in clean energy at @GreenJobsBoard's pavilion. Thanks to everyone who joined us! See you next year 👋

Earlier today, the Senate took a major step toward strengthening America’s energy future. ACP applauds the leadership of @SenCapito, @SenWhitehouse, @SenMikeLee, and @SenatorHeinrich in introducing the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026, a bill that would bring more clean energy to the grid, build critical energy infrastructure, and lower consumer prices.

America needs more power, not more delays. As Frank Macchiarola writes, DoD's review freeze has stalled hundreds of wind projects that could strengthen U.S. energy security, support jobs, and help meet growing electricity demand. National security and energy security can, and must, go hand in hand. bit.ly/4rHr6xw

#ICYMI: @NYSERDA's latest awards for bulk energy storage and large-scale renewable energy projects will help strengthen grid reliability, meet growing power demand, create more than 1,000 jobs, and drive over $3.7 billion in private investment across the state. Investments in clean energy and storage are essential to delivering the affordable, reliable electricity that communities and businesses depend on. bit.ly/4xGylXK

OPINION: Trade officials must hold Mexico accountable for its USMCA violations during upcoming talks, writes ACP CEO @JasonGrumet, @RepArrington, and @INGAApipelines’s Amy Andryszak in their joint op-ed for @TheHill. bit.ly/4d0DQt0
