- Tax Credit Phaseout and Higher Rates Threaten U.S. & European Renewables
Amid growing climate urgency, renewable energy faces a new challenge: the phasing out of tax credits and rising financing costs in both the U.S. and Europe. Analysts warn these two headwinds could slow the industry’s growth just as global decarbonization efforts demand acceleration. U.S Looming Tax Credit Cliff In the U.S., a House budget reconciliation bill, nicknamed the "One Big Beautiful Bill," proposes an accelerated phaseout of key clean energy incentives included in the Inflation Reduction Act. Under this plan: Investment & Production Tax Credits (ITC/PTC): Phase out begins end-2026, with full expiration by 2028 if projects haven’t started construction ( rechargenews.com , pv-magazine.com ). Residential Solar and Clean Fuel Credits: Eliminated just six months after the bill is enacted ( mayerbrown.com ). Renewables Incentive Uncertainty: Limitations on foreign component sourcing and shortened timelines may raise construction costs and limit eligibility ( reuters.com ). While developers may rush to start projects pre-credit cliff, analysts warn this creates a short-term boom followed by a longer-term slump ( subscriber.politicopro.com ). Europe Rising Interest Rates Pressure Financing European clean energy projects, especially offshore wind and solar farms, are already feeling the pressure from escalating interest rates: Financing Costs Surge: Higher borrowing rates in Europe are increasing project financing costs, squeezing margins and deterring new investments. Market Response: Leading firms like EDP Renováveis (EDPR) remain committed—planning 1.75 GW of U.S. wind capacity through 2026 despite U.S. uncertainties ( energynews.pro , reuters.com )—but caution is rising. Industry Impact Investment Slowdown: With added uncertainty, large-scale projects may be delayed or canceled—especially facilities yet to initiate construction before deadlines. Higher Consumer Prices: Many studies suggest without credits, electricity costs will increase, making solar and wind less competitive than fossil fuels . Supply Chain Constraints: Additional FEOC rules restricting global sourcing could delay manufacturing and deployment ( mayerbrown.com ). Strategies for the Sector Speed Up Project Timelines: Developers working aggressively to meet deadlines before credit phaseouts takes effect. Shift Financing Models: Embracing alternative funding, such as green bonds or captive financing, to mitigate high interest costs. Advocacy Efforts: Industry leaders are lobbying for more measured phaseouts and affordable financing mechanisms. Diversification & Localization: Companies are exploring domestic manufacturing and cross-border markets to reduce risk. Renewables have achieved scale and cost parity, but the imminent phaseout of U.S. tax credits and elevated European financing rates pose tangible risks. Without swift policy support and innovative capital solutions, the clean-energy transition could stall—just as the planet demands it most. _Daily Growth Insights
- Japan Expands Defense Exports, Supplying Equipment to Thailand and Seven Partners
Tokyo, June 21, 2025 – Japan is significantly broadening its Official Security Assistance (OSA) program in the 2025 fiscal year, extending defense exports to Thailand and seven other nations including East Timor, Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Tonga, and more . Through its OSA initiative—launched in April 2023 and boosted by an ¥8.1 billion ($56 million) budget—Japan provides non-lethal defense equipment such as drones, radar systems, and maritime-surveillance assets. The goal is to support disaster relief capabilities and secure vital sea lanes across the Indo-Pacific . During the Shangri-La Dialogue on June 1, Defense Minister Nakatani and Thailand’s Deputy PM/Defence Minister Phumtham Wechayachai reaffirmed the deepening Japan–Thailand defense partnership, which includes joint exercises like Cobra Gold and growing JSDF presence on Thai soil . The move also reflects a broader shift in Japan’s post-war defense stance. Since 2014’s relaxation of arms export rules and the 2023 increase in OSA funding, Tokyo has been more assertive in expanding its international defense role. Japan is moving toward becoming a proactive security partner, especially amid rising maritime tensions in the region—particularly concerning China’s strategic posture . Analysts believe these developments strengthen Indo-Pacific security architectures by enhancing partner countries’ operational capacity, deterring regional threats, and signaling Japan’s commitment to collective defense. The continuous evolution of Japan’s defense-export policy mirrors its ambitions to reinforce global and regional security partnerships. _Daily Growth Insights
