The clean energy market surged at the end of 2025, and investment in clean energy projects is likely to reach a record high in 2026.  

But headwinds remain. Continued policy uncertainty and other factors could diminish investor interest in clean energy projects in 2027 and beyond. 

The executive summary of the new report, Clean Energy Investment Trends highlights key takeaways about clean energy investment trends and the overall energy market landscape.

The Clean Energy Investment Trends full report is available to ACORE Executive Council and Advisory Council members. Please contact ACORE at membership@acore.org to receive a copy.
