Executive Summary
The US energy transition faces a pivotal slowdown from the President Trump administration’s rollback of Biden-era climate policies, as rising electricity demand strains outdated grid infrastructure. Despite the administration’s efforts to revive coal and expand domestic fossil fuels, investors are likely to favour low-friction, carbon-free solutions such as battery storage, microgrids and modular nuclear reactors, especially as grid challenges intensify. Firms offering distributed energy resource management systems (DERMS) are well-positioned to help address reliability and integration issues in the US, aligning with emerging needs across the grid.About the Authors
