How Will Trade Tariffs and Supply Chain Policies Impact the U.S. Power Sector?
Join the WRI Polsky Center for the Global Energy Transition for our U.S. Energy Transition Series, this time focusing on the impacts of the Trump Administration’s trade tariffs and related policy changes impacting supply chains and the energy sector.
Since taking office, the Trump Administration has announced a series of expansive trade tariffs, using the argument that this will boost the U.S. economy and usher in a boom for American-made goods. While this situation has been changing constantly and the tariffs face legal uncertainty, they nevertheless present many potential impacts and changes for the U.S. power sector. Uncertainty for clean energy sourcing and supply chains has also been introduced by other policy actions, such as proposed changes to tax credits on clean energy and domestic manufacturing, Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC) restrictions on tax credits, and changes in federal funding and financing for advanced technologies.
Join us on July 15th at 1-2 PM ET for a virtual panel discussion on the shifting market and policy landscape for clean energy, featuring perspectives from industry experts on trade and supply chains. During this webinar, we will explore the expected impacts on electricity costs and supply chains for clean energy and batteries posed by the tariffs and tax credits. The webinar will also cover how market participants are navigating the increased uncertainty at a time when the U.S. needs more power to meet rising demand.
