BGA’s data include records of 3,446 distinct impacted locations—projects or sites where clean energy technologies are either produced or deployed. These are derived from a much larger database constructed by harmonizing location records from eight datasets: BGA’s auto dataset, datasets from the Energy Information Administration and from the Office of Management and Budget, and the datasets of five collaborator research groups. We matched locations across these datasets by project and site characteristics to avoid double counting and to make maximum use of the information tracked by these collaborators.

BGA then analyzed the histories of these locations—including the status of federal awards they may have received—and traced how the technologies they produced were impacted by OBBBA.

The three categories of data are:

Cancelled or stalled projects

Locations where we have evidence that operations have either been cancelled or put on hold since Trump’s 2^nd inauguration. BGA makes sure the location entered an adverse operational status after Trump took office to exclude those that may have had pre-existing financial difficulties. We also limit this category to projects we can feasibly connect to OBBBA rollbacks or other attacks on clean energy. This includes locations with an adverse status that meet any of the following criteria:

• faces a more restrictive tax credit regime under OBBBA
• deploys solar and wind energy and was already benefiting from a pre-Inflation Reduction Act clean energy tax credit
• is a battery storage development connected to a cancelled solar or wind generation project
• manufactures wind or solar components
• manufacturers that benefited from the gutted 30D New Clean Vehicle Credit (electric vehicle (EV) assemblers, EV parts suppliers, battery supply chain suppliers)
• manufactures grid components

Curtailed tax support

Many more locations are still operating, but with curtailed tax support. The tax credits that companies may have relied on for their economics to pencil out have been altered or altogether deleted. This is our broadest impact category and is defined to be mutually exclusive with the cancelled or stalled set. We include both direct beneficiaries—those that can claim the credit on their own tax returns—as well as locations that benefit indirectly through the support of demand for clean technologies.

Specifically, we identify the following types of impacted locations:

• Direct beneficiaries of:
  • the Advanced Manufacturing Production Tax Credit (45x) who face stricter qualifying standards and early termination of the credit for wind technologies.
  • the Clean Fuel Production Tax Credit (45Z) who lose a bonus credit.
  • the Clean Energy Production and Investment Tax Credits (45Y, 48E) who deal with deadlines to qualify, earlier phase down, earlier termination, and more stringent qualification standards.
  • the Clean Hydrogen Tax Credit (45V) who have face new deadlines to qualify or early termination of the credit.
• Indirect beneficiaries of:
  • the Clean Energy Production and Investment Tax Credits (45Y, 48E)—manufacturers of parts and components for renewable energy like wind and solar— that are likely to experience a negative supply chain impact from the loss of demand for their products.
  • the eliminated Clean Vehicle Tax Credit (30D)—EV assemblers and manufacturers for the EV supply chain that will contend with reduced consumer demand.

Canceled or at-risk federal awards

The Trump administration’s well documented attacks on Biden-era awards from the Inflation Reduction Act make up our third category of impact. These are locations connected to cancelled or at-risk federal awards. For these categories, BGA relied on Highroad Analytics’ analysis of U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) records provided through the USAspending.gov portal (accessed April 30, 2026). Award cancellations—which are often in the public record because they are controversial or being litigated—are those where previously committed funds have been significantly withdrawn. Awards can also be flagged as “at risk” by analyzing where funds appear to be stalled or timelines have been shortened but the funds not materially withdrawn.

Note: the relationship between federal awards and impacted locations is not one-to-one. Many awards were given to companies or projects that span multiple physical sites. BGA tracked an award’s multiple associated locations to illustrate impacts communities across the country. Because we associate the full award with each of the locations, care should be taken to avoid double counting award dollars when summing up across locations.

For nearly all manufacturing locations in our data, this number represents the total number of manufacturing jobs associated with an announced factory construction or expansion. We draw jobs numbers from as many as four distinct datasets (The Big Green Machine (BGM), Clean Economy Tracker (CET), Clean Investment Monitor (CIM), and E2’s Clean Economy Works (CEW) Project Tracker; see below “How can I learn more about a project?” for more on our sources) and select the minimum estimate when the numbers disagree. Most manufacturing job totals can be traced back to a company announcement, though some have been estimated based on site characteristics and known employment intensities for given technologies.

Energy and industry sites are much more likely to have announced construction jobs alongside projected operations jobs. Moreover, construction employment can be estimated well based on size of a clean energy deployment. The jobs associated with these locations are both operational and construction jobs, with most of the totals coming from construction employment totals provided by CET.

How these jobs are impacted differs slightly by impact category. Jobs associated with cancelled projects or locations where an award has been cancelled are the most at risk. However, even in this category, it is likely that the full number of jobs hasn’t been lost since companies and organizations frequently work to salvage investments and adapt plans. Jobs at places operating under curtailed tax support may still materialize, though the risk of these projects failing has been heightened by changes to the tax code.

Like our jobs numbers, BGA reports a simple “private investment impacted” figure for most of our locations. The underlying source of these numbers is mostly company press releases—which all of our source datasets use to a certain extent—and some are estimates based on production capacity of the site. We source investment numbers in roughly equal proportions from the following sources: BGM, CET, CIM, and CEW. Where there is overlap, we conservatively choose the smallest available investment figure. Some private investment numbers have been estimated, especially those in clean energy deployment, where CIM has translated a development’s announced megawattage into an estimated private investment amount based on industry-wide data benchmarks.

Private investments may not be entirely lost, even when a project is cancelled. But unlike hiring new staff—which can be delayed—companies can do very little on a project without spending money. What’s more, investments that go into site-specific line items can be difficult or impossible to recoup. Private investments made alongside a now-cancelled or at-risk federal award, or under the pretense of a tax credit regime that no longer exists, may be sunk into assets that no longer make sense.

The descriptive information we provide should serve as a launching point for additional desk research for curious users. Many national and local papers have covered clean energy project announcements and some have also reported on closures and delays.

BGA’s data integrates some of the best tracking data in the clean energy economy. Many of our source datasets contain additional levels of detail or references to press clippings for more context.

The underlying source dataset for records of power plants is the electricity generator data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). Awards data comes from OMB’s USAspending.gov database and has been enriched by analysis from High Road Analytics’ Invest in America tracker. This data also used BGA’s automotive supply chain tracking data.

BGA includes obvious technologies like solar and wind renewable energy, as well as industrial sites utilizing decarbonization and pollution-reduction innovations and critical mineral production and processing. “Solar power” and “wind power” locations are power plants generating electricity with that technology. Also included are projects under programs like Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure, the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, the Abandoned Mine Land program, and Climate Pollution Reduction Grants. The following table provides more details on the manufactured products we cover with this release:

The included data is BGA’s current best estimate. Operational statuses of projects or sites are changing constantly.

Synthesizing multiple datasets allows us to identify operational status information for a broad set of locations, but any research group can only observe operational status so often. BGA used available information to infer matches of the same place between datasets. This can be difficult when dealing with industrial parks, joint ventures, and multi-company supplier networks, as well as dealing with sales, mergers and corporate reorganizations.

Some locations may be presented in the “cancelled or stalled” category though the facility remains operational. If a planned expansion has been cancelled, for example, BGA associated the expansion with other related production lines and rendered the overall campus as “cancelled in whole or part.”
