Biden Climate Law Spurs at Least $16.2 Billion of Cleantech
(Bloomberg) -- Three months after President Joe Biden signed a sweeping climate law, several cleantech companies have moved forward with new US manufacturing factories that will cost at least $16.2 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The latest: First Solar Inc. and Italian utility giant Enel SpA. First Solar, the largest US panel maker, said Wednesday that it plans to build a $1.1 billion factory in Alabama. Enel, a major clean-power developer, said Thursday that it also expects to build a US plant.
The Inflation Reduction Act offers generous incentives to support new domestic solar, battery and electric-vehicle factories. Some of the planned US plants were announced after its passage. At least one facility that was in the works beforehand recently broke ground.
