Clean Economy Cancellations Continue to Outpace New Investment
Businesses cancelled the fewest investments in large-scale factories and clean energy projects in over a year last month but losses continued to outpace new project announcements, according to E2’s latest monthly analysis of clean energy projects tracked by E2. Companies announced $550 million in investments for five new manufacturing projects in November but cancelled another $575 million for a battery storage project in Missouri — the fewest private sector projects and investments abandoned in a month since last November.
According to the analysis, cancellations, closures, and downsizes are outpacing new project investments and jobs nearly three to one in 2025. More than $32 billion in investments and nearly 40,000 jobs have been abandoned by in 2025, compared to less than $12 billion and 19,000 new jobs announced. One key factor in the slowdown of new announcements is the Trump administration’s nearly year-long freeze of approvals for major onshore wind and solar projects.
