GEM/CREA curtailment report published
Global Energy Monitor and CREA publish estimates showing 26.1% of China's combined wind and solar output was rejected, using weather-adjusted data.
Deadline for full renewable energy tax credits
After this date, new projects will no longer qualify for the full 30% ITC or PTC, dramatically increasing the cost of new wind and solar development.
Tax credit securement deadline
The final date for developers to lock in federal tax credit eligibility for new renewable projects. After this date, credits are no longer available, triggering cost increases.
NEA reports official H1 curtailment rates
The NEA states 8.6% of solar and 9.1% of wind output was curtailed in the first half of 2026, far below independent estimates.
LevelTen Energy releases analysis showing PPA price spikes
LevelTen reports early data indicating wind and solar contract prices could rise 40–50% nationally, with Texas deals up 120%, warning of a tax credit cliff impact.
Solar developers rush to safe-harbor projects before deadline
In the weeks before the cut-off, project owners incur 5% of construction costs to lock in tax credit eligibility, resulting in a massive pipeline of over 200 GW of secured solar capacity.
Analysts project 200+ GW pipeline and 40–50% cost hikes
Wood Mackenzie reports over 200 GW of solar capacity with credits secured. LevelTen Energy forecasts wind and solar contract price increases of 40–50% nationally, with some Texas deals up 120%.
China curtails 360 TWh in first half of 2026
China rejects 360 TWh of wind and solar output from January to June, up 49% year over year, per GEM/CREA. India curtails 8.13 TWh of solar in the same quarter.
NEA halts monthly provincial curtailment data
China's National Energy Administration stops publishing monthly curtailment data by province, reducing transparency around grid performance.
Trump signs 2025 tax law accelerating phaseout of clean energy credits
The legislation accelerates the expiration of Production Tax Credits (PTC) and Investment Tax Credits (ITC) for renewable energy projects, ending full credits for projects not meeting safe-harbor requirements by July 2026.
China rejected 360 TWh of wind and solar output in the first half of 2026 — a 49% jump — as transmission bottlenecks and coal-friendly supply contracts force grids to shed clean power. With curtailment now spreading to India, Australia, and Japan, vast zero-carbon generation is being left unused even as China's coal generation rebounds.

The U.S. solar sector is in an all-out sprint to secure federal tax credits before the July 4 phaseout, with over 200 gigawatts of new projects now in the pipeline—enough to nearly double current capacity. The accelerated cutoff threatens to raise renewable energy costs by 40-50%, potentially slowing the clean energy transition just as AI-fueled electricity demand skyrockets.

The Trump administration's accelerated phaseout of renewable energy tax credits is creating a last-minute 200 GW solar project rush, but post-July 4, wind and solar contract prices could surge 40–50%—with Texas deals already up 120%—threatening U.S. climate goals and corporate clean energy procurement.
