The future of clean energy is no longer just a promise but a fact, and no government, industry, or special interest group can stand in the way, said UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres in a recent speech. He stressed that the strong momentum behind renewables is not only about energy and public security, but also about “smart economics.”
Renewable energy has shifted from climate rhetoric to economic reality, becoming a central pillar of global electricity supply and a prerequisite for business competitiveness. Major technology companies are investing heavily, making clean energy a core part of their business strategies.

Corporate demand for low-carbon electricity has remained strong despite efforts by the Trump administration to slow clean energy development, with technology companies leading the push. According to S&P Global Market Intelligence, the technology and internet services sector accounts for nearly 70% of clean energy procurement, the highest among all industries. Even in the first six months after Trump took office, the sector’s purchases rose 12%, ranking among the top three industries.
A closer look shows that while Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) tightened green policies, it still left room for projects to move forward. Solar and wind projects that begin construction before July 4, 2026, or start operation by the end of 2027, remain eligible. With corporate demand for low-carbon energy undiminished, a wave of new capacity is expected in the near term.
