While demand remains strong for renewable power generation and steady for natural gas, the rest of the picture for the power sector remains cloudy as government mandates are changing under the Trump administration.
Trump has withdrawn the U.S. from the Paris climate accord and signed an executive order that requires the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to rescind the Clean Power Plan, which aims to reduce carbon emissions from power generation. The administration has ordered a review of the electricity grid, which, ultimately, could move electric generation away from renewables.
