The United States closed the third quarter of 2025 with a record investment of USD 75 billion in renewable energy, suggesting a rapid momentum in the country’s energy transition efforts. Figures compiled by the Clean Investment Monitor (CIM) show a similar trend, with spending on clean energy rising 9 per cent from the previous quarter and 8 per cent compared with Q3 last year. The momentum extends across the year with USD 279 billion invested in clean vehicles (zero emission vehicles), carbon management, building electrification and clean power deployment, contributing to 6 per cent annual increase, reveals CIM.
A snapshot of a rapidly expanding market
Based on the nationwide records covering 22,000 manufacturing and energy facilities, five million zero-emission vehicle registrations, 28 million heat pump purchases and 4.5 million distributed energy installations, CIM has stated that renewable energy investment in the US is mostly attributed to the following sectors:
• Manufacturing – factories producing solar modules, EV components, batteries, and other clean-tech hardware.
• Energy & Industry – utility-scale projects including solar farms, storage sites, wind installations, and industrial emissions-reduction projects.
• Retail – consumer-level purchases from EVs to rooftop solar, home batteries, and heat pumps.
