MIT Research: Most IRA Clean Energy Achievements Can Still Be Retained Under OBBBA

A latest MIT study shows that despite the "Package of Beautiful Bills" gradually phasing out some tax credits, 74% of the clean electricity capacity brought by the US Inflation Reduction Act is still expected to come online. Among them, solar and energy storage are less affected, but the retention rate for onshore wind is less than half.

Rooftop Photovoltaic Potential: The Gap from Technology to Deployable and Breakthrough Paths

The technical potential of rooftop photovoltaic systems is enormous, but economic viability, grid constraints, and financing barriers keep their deployable potential far below theoretical values. Recent research has identified key bottlenecks between technical assessment and actual implementation, and points to bridging this gap through reducing soft costs, expanding equitable financing, and coordinating grid upgrades.

The Truth Behind the Surge in Clean Energy Investment: The Dilemma of Fossil Fuel Waste

The latest report from the International Energy Agency shows that global clean energy investment reached $2.2 trillion in 2025, nearly double that of fossil fuels. However, fossil fuels still supply about 80% of the world's energy, with system efficiency of only 37%, wasting over $4.6 trillion annually. This article delves into the truth behind energy waste hidden in investment data, revealing the true economic logic of the clean energy transition—not replacing fuels, but replacing waste.

U.S. clean energy is expanding while also coming under pressure: how policy uncertainty is reshaping clean power investment

Based on the latest E2 project tracking data, the U.S. clean energy market in the first quarter of 2026 showed a split pattern in which “accelerated construction” and “project withdrawals” coexisted. Solar, wind, and storage projects accelerated amid rising power demand and a narrowing window for tax incentives, but manufacturing investment—especially in the electric vehicle and battery segments—has clearly slowed. Policy changes are simultaneously affecting power supply, supply chain布局, and capital allocation.

The clean energy discussion is shifting from “installed capacity growth” to “system integration”: why have solar power and energy storage become the industry’s focus?

Using a case in which a report on solar energy sparked widespread reader discussion, this article starts from the energy system, energy storage deployment, grid constraints, and policy environment to analyze why clean energy is shifting from a sole focus on installed capacity toward attention to power system integration, cost structure, and long-term scalability.
