The 365 canceled projects would not only have created nearly 180,000 jobs, but would have attracted $61.4 billion in private investment and helped stabilize household electricity prices that have increased 13% in the last year and natural gas prices that have increased 12%.
13 GW Lost In PA
While this report did not include the generation capacity reduced in Pennsylvania as a result of these cancellations, a previous report by Energy Innovation Policy & Technology on the cuts included in the "Big Beautiful Bill" passed by Congress last July and signed by the President said Pennsylvania would lose 13 gigawatts of generation as a result of those cuts.
The cuts included 11 gigawatts of solar energy, 1.6 gigawatts of battery storage, 0.4 gigawatts of wind and 0.05 gigawatts of natural gas.
