⚡️ Data centers are reshaping the U.S. energy landscape ⚡️ As we look ahead, data centers have become central to understanding how U.S. power demand will evolve. 📈 📊 New charts from BloombergNEF reveal that the PJM region (covering PA, NJ, DE, MD, OH, VA & more) will face the highest data center power demand in the coming decade. 🔌 Every state will feel the impact of rising electricity demand — expected to grow 2% annually in the near term. Longer-term projections show up to a 50% increase in total annual energy use. Without smart policy, the increased demand will translate to higher utility prices for everyone. 💡 The solution? Smart policy + distributed energy resources (DERs). 🌞 Imagine: ➡️ Rooftop solar on every commercial building ➡️ Battery storage in basements & unused spaces ➡️ Local clean energy generation in every town and city across the country At Evergrow, we’re building toward a future where every school, church, office building, and apartment complex has on-site clean energy production and storage. Let’s invest in the infrastructure that keeps energy affordable, clean, and local. 🔋🏢🌍 #CleanEnergy #EnergyTransition #DataCenters #DistributedEnergy #DERs #Sustainability #GridResilience #Evergrow

🌞 California is on the verge of a solar breakthrough! ⚡️ The Golden State may soon produce more electricity from solar than from any other source. Here's why that matters 👇 🔹 For decades, natural gas has been California’s top electricity source. 🔹 Until 2017, hydropower held the second spot. 🔹 But since 2013, solar has been on a meteoric rise—outpacing all but gas within just five years. 💥 Now, we’re approaching a game-changing milestone: Solar could become California’s #1 electricity source as early as next year. That would make California the first state ever to hit this landmark. 🌎✨ It’s not just massive solar farms driving this shift: 🏢 California mandates on-site solar for new and rehabbed commercial buildings. 🌇 These distributed energy resources (DERs) are powering up communities—right where the energy is needed most. 🚀 Here’s to California hitting this major clean energy milestone—and inspiring other states to follow suit. #CleanEnergy #SolarPower #Sustainability #EnergyTransition #CaliforniaEnergy #ClimateAction #Innovation

⚡️ Why extending clean-energy tax incentives matters more than ever ⚡️ According to BloombergNEF's latest New Energy Outlook report (just released yesterday), global electricity demand is set to rise by a staggering 75% by mid-century. One of the biggest drivers? 💻📡 Data centers. As this chart from the report highlights, the so-called “economic transition” — where markets alone guide the shift to clean energy — won’t get us very far by 2050. 📈 With AI, cloud computing, and digital infrastructure booming, data centers are set to consume much of the new clean power coming online. This means: ➡️ Fossil-fuel plants will stick around longer than expected  ➡️ Emissions reductions take longer ➡️ Grid strain will lead to higher electricity costs for everyone 💸 ✅ Extending clean-energy tax incentives is critical to stay ahead of this curve — and to ensure a resilient, affordable, and sustainable energy future. Let’s not wait for the market to catch up. Let’s lead the transition. 🌍💡 #CleanEnergy #DataCenters #Sustainability #EnergyTransition #ClimateAction #PolicyMatters #Renewables #GreenFuture

The clean energy landscape might surprise you sometimes. ⚡ When it comes to combined solar, wind, and battery storage capacity, you might guess that California, the nation's most populous state—would lead the way. But while it's a strong contender, it's not #1. 🏆 Texas takes the top spot, generating over 73,000 MW from wind 💨, solar ☀️, and energy storage 🔋. 🥈 California comes in second with more than 38,000 MW 🥉 Iowa rounds out the top three with over 13,000 MW Curious where your state ranks? 🔍 Explore the state-by-state fact sheets from the American Clean Power Association (ACP): 👉 https://lnkd.in/g9QirB4p #CleanEnergy #Renewables #Sustainability #ClimateAction #EnergyLeadership 🌎

⚡️ This is what momentum looks like! ⚡️ For the first time ever, clean energy outproduced fossil fuels in electricity generation on the U.S. grid in the month of March. 🌱📈 Over the next year, we want this graph to tell a new story—one of decreasing fossil fuel dependence, even as energy demand surges with the rise of AI and electrification. 🚀🔌 To make that vision a reality, we need more distributed generation—clean energy assets located all across every community. That means solar panels and battery storage at churches ⛪, schools 🏫, factories 🏭, warehouses 🏢—anywhere with a surface or a property ready to host. Let’s build a future where clean energy is everywhere. 🙌 Data from Ember's Global Electricity Review.

👀 While headlines yesterday focused on efforts to revive the coal industry in the U.S., something far more exciting is happening—globally. The world is moving forward, not backward. 🌍⚡ 📈 According to Ember's new electricity report, over 40% of global electricity in 2024 came from clean sources—for the first time ever. That’s not just a milestone. That’s momentum. 🔆 Solar and wind are leading the way, with solar showing massive growth over the past 25 years. Even more solar is in the pipeline, with huge volumes of solar and battery storage waiting to be connected to the grid. While some cling to the past, the future is already being built—clean, renewable, and resilient. Let’s keep pushing for progress. The grid is changing. The future is bright. ☀️⚡ #CleanEnergy #Renewables #SolarPower #WindEnergy #EnergyTransition #ClimateAction #Sustainability #FutureIsNow

🌱 95% of all new electricity generation capacity added to the U.S. grid in 2024 came from clean energy. Yes, you read that right: 95%! ⚡🇺🇸 As the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) highlights in their recent report “Tax Stability for Energy Dominance”, federal clean energy tax credits have played a crucial role in creating the market incentives needed to drive this growth. And thanks to recent enhancements, such as the transferability of the credits made possible by the IRA, that momentum is only accelerating. At Evergrow, we’re proud to help power the clean energy transition—especially in the commercial & industrial (C&I) sector—by providing tax-credit financing to solar developers and commercial property owners. One of the projects we financed is even featured in the ACORE report: 📍 Bramble Farm, a poultry farm in West Virginia (pictured below), now offsets nearly 100% of its energy use with rooftop solar developed and owned by Skyview Ventures. Through federal investment tax credits covering 40% of the project cost—and with Evergrow managing the end-to-end diligence and sale of those credits—Skyview earned a cash return that helped bring the project to life. These community-scale projects are happening across the country, driven by smart policy. As ACORE emphasizes: Maintaining certainty around these incentives is essential to securing American energy dominance. Let’s keep building. 💪🌞 #CleanEnergy #TaxCredits #SolarPower #EnergyTransition #CISolar #InflationReductionAct #Evergrow #ACORE #Sustainability #EnergyFinance
