ACP was proud to join @SenatorHeinrich and @SenWhitehouse today in support of BAAJA. It’s time to modernize America’s permitting system, unlock new energy investment and infrastructure, and deliver more affordable, reliable power.
This is a clean energy bill. Major clean energy groups like @USCleanPower, @SEIA, @CleanEnergyGrid, and @ACORE know that BAAJA will juice deployment of affordable solar and wind energy on the grid.

"Today’s vote is a critical step toward modernizing our outdated permitting process and getting ready-to-build clean energy projects moving. With energy demand climbing and families increasingly concerned about energy affordability, BAAJA is how we power more homes and bring costs down. We urge senators to vote yes on cloture and move this bill forward. It’s time to let America build."

ALT Bar graph titled "Annual and Cumulative Solar-Paired Hybrid Capacity Growth" shows data from 2020 to 2026. The graph includes bars for "Solar + Storage" (orange), "Wind + Storage" (green), and "Wind + Solar" (purple). A yellow line represents "Cumulative Hybrid Capacity (GW)." The background reads, "The sun is setting earlier, but solar keeps delivering.
@SenMikeLee, @MartinHeinrich, @SenWhitehouse, and @SenCapito have put forward a bipartisan path to get more American clean energy projects built.
Now, it’s time to follow through. Let's get #BAAJA across the finish line.
We congratulate the newly elected members of the next Congress and the leaders elected in states across the country. Voters have made clear that affordable, reliable power is a priority, and our industry is ready to deliver it.

At the end of #NationalManufacturingMonth, we’re celebrating the 300 U.S. manufacturing facilities that help supply land-based and offshore wind energy projects.
Red or blue, wind keeps delivering for communities nationwide: generating electricity, creating local jobs, and strengthening local economies.

Alternatives to lithium-ion batteries are fast emerging, perhaps none as quickly as its close cousin sodium-ion. 🔋
Platts Senior Reporter Garrett Hering joined @peakenergytech’s Landon Mossburg at #ACPRECHARGE26 to discuss the future of sodium-ion batteries — check it out on @EnergySPG’s Energy Evolution Podcast.

🧥 Battery storage is like your favorite fall trench coat, providing a reliable layer between you and the oncoming cold. It’s vital for storing excess energy when the sun and wind are at full strength and deploying the energy held in reserve when the grid needs it.
Battery storage installations increased 17% compared to last year, with most new projects focusing on batteries that can store more energy for longer. 🔋

A win for permitting reform is a win for clean energy and the climate, and Congress has a unique opportunity to deliver benefits for our country, communities, and climate by passing #BAAJA.
ACP urges Congress to act swiftly to make long-overdue permitting reform a reality.

Clean energy generates nearly 60% of the total electricity in Iowa.
One farming family decided to reap the economic benefits and diversify their revenue stream by using 10% of their 160-acre farm for a combined solar and battery storage project. Cows can still graze, and the Smith family is creating a new source of revenue as the crop market faces challenges.
A local battery storage moratorium threatened to hinder their plan. Instead of backing down, however, the Smiths took action to reverse the moratorium and preserve their property rights to use their land as they see fit.

What do Oregon, Iowa, West Virginia, and Texas have in common?
They are all powered by wind energy.
These four are among the 43 states — plus Guam and Puerto Rico — with at least one operating land-based wind project.
Wind is helping communities across the country meet their energy needs, supplying at least 10% of annual electricity in 17 states.

Clean energy is powering rural communities! ⚡
New research from the University of Missouri’s Center for Rural Energy Security finds that wind and solar are bringing major economic benefits to rural communities across the Midwest — creating jobs, generating new local revenue, and supporting economic growth.

🍂 Autumn winds may be busy shaking leaves from the trees, but they’re also helping power American homes.
Wind generated 11% of U.S. electricity over the past year, with 166 GW of operational capacity generating enough electricity for 48 million homes.

We joined @CEBAPower, @SEIA, @AdvEnergyUnited, and @ACORE to deliver a simple message to Congress: pass the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026 (BAAJA).
With 350+ GW of clean energy ready to meet rising electricity demand, bipartisan permitting reform can unlock transmission investment, create jobs, and strengthen America’s energy future. Negotiators have reached an agreement. Now Congress must follow through.

Wind energy is powering communities nationwide, and the market is growing. 📈
@USCleanPower's latest Market Pulse: Wind | Fall 2026 report shows how wind is powering communities today and expanding to meet America’s future energy needs.
Operational wind capacity reached nearly 166 GW in Q2 2026 — enough to power 48 million homes. And nearly every region of the country is projected to add more wind capacity in the years ahead.
Greater permitting certainty can help turn that growth potential into reality, bringing more homegrown energy onto the grid.

Summer in Texas is now a “non-event.”
Solar, wind, and battery storage are the reason why.
Texas leads the nation in operating clean energy capacity with nearly 100,000 megawatts on the grid — enough to power 16.2 million homes.
The Lone Star State sets the standard for what a diversified grid powered by clean energy can deliver: reliable power and lower prices, even during periods of extreme strain.
