Understanding an Evolving Energy Marketplace: Top Findings of the 2026 Sustainable Energy in America Factbook

​In 2025, U.S. electricity demand rose considerably for the first time in decades, coinciding with rising electricity prices. At the same time, far-reaching and unpredictable policy changes provided both major challenges and a few unanticipated opportunities for the sustainable energy sector.

​Join this panel discussion with the Business Council for Sustainable Energy (BCSE) and energy business leaders to #GetTheFacts on the progress of U.S. energy expansion. The panel will share the latest findings from the newly released 2026 Sustainable Energy in America Factbook (produced by BloombergNEF for BCSE), covering trends in energy efficiency, renewable energy, energy storage, hydrogen, electric vehicles, digitalization, carbon capture and storage, and more. Featured speakers will share insights about what these trends look like on the ground for companies deploying these sustainable technologies.
