More than $121 billion of investment across US utility-scale renewables could face heightened permitting scrutiny under the new federal framework, with wind showing the highest proportional exposure at 62% of its pipeline (excluding the ongoing FAA halt). A 15 July 2025 Department of Interior memorandum centralised federal review for nearly all wind and solar projects, and Wood Mackenzie reports that 7 GW of projects on federal lands were cancelled or stalled in 2025, while a further 12 GW on federal lands and 80 GW on private lands remain at risk. A federal court preliminary injunction in April 2026 blocked new restrictions, and the House-passed SPEED Act (December 2025) proposes narrower reviews and stricter timelines.
