Our friends at the American Clean Power Association (ACP) released their 2025 Q4 Clean Power Quarterly Market Report last week — which showed some really promising annual and long-term trends for clean energy.

Clean Power Dominates: Solar, battery storage, and wind have provided 82% of all new capacity added to the grid over the last five years (2020-2024).

Battery Boom: Energy storage installations were 41% higher than 2024 — the previous record year.

Colorado faces $50–$54 billion in total projected climate-related damages and adaptation costs from 2025 to 2050, with $36–$37 billion directly attributed to climate change, according to a 2026 report. Key drivers include $24–$25B in extreme heat health impacts, $8.3–$8.7B for infrastructure, and $1.3B+ for wildfire/smoke damage, threatening public health, water, and economic stability.

E2 released its 10th annual Clean Jobs America analysis of U.S. clean energy employment. This year’s report found that clean energy employment grew more than three times faster than the rest of the U.S. employment, adding nearly 100,000 jobs and accounting for a record seven percent of all jobs added in 2024 — including over 80 percent of all energy industry jobs. Since 2020, clean energy has added more than half a million jobs to the U.S. economy.

The Colorado Energy Office is providing the funding as part of $7.7 million in grant awards announced last week to advance the use of geothermal technology in the state. The funding will go to 35 projects involving things such as installing geothermal heat pumps in buildings, studying and developing interconnected geothermal systems known as thermal energy networks between buildings, and testing and confirming geothermal resources for electricity generation.
