Powering Ahead: The Future of US Renewable Investment

Clean energy investment in the US grew $50 billion last year. With interest rates easing and inflation in decline, the market appears to be well positioned to meet skyrocketing power demand from sources like artificial intelligence and data centers. Yet it’s not all smooth sailing: price cannibalization, curtailment risks, tariffs and clean energy policy shifts from the new Trump administration all present challenges for investors. So what business models and strategies are required to keep the momentum going? At the 2025 BloombergNEF Summit New York, Pol Lezcano, a senior associate from BNEF’s solar team, moderated a panel titled “Sustaining Momentum in US Renewable Investments.” This episode brings listeners that panel, which featured Andrew Gongaware, managing director at BMO Capital Markets; Matt Ransweiler, senior vice president for finance and capital markets at Invenergy; Miguel Pena, managing director and head of project finance for the Americas at BBVA; and Corinne Still, partner at Apollo Global Management.
