A renewables playbook for the rest of Trump 2.0 08.07.2026

The American Clean Power Association (ACP) is pursuing a strategic playbook for the remainder of the Trump administration, focusing on policy durability and building political support on the right. CEO Jason Grumet briefed reporters on the group's approach, which includes prioritizing a bipartisan permitting reform deal in Congress, though he acknowledged the window is closing. The group sees opportunities in the next Congress, assuming divided government, to restore bipartisan support and introduce new tax credits for transmission and domestic manufacturing. ACP is also working to address tariff volatility and expand its influence among conservatives through initiatives like the "American Energy First" coalition and the grassroots PowerVotes effort. The group plans to launch a major consumer outreach campaign this fall to highlight clean energy benefits.
