Despite potential changes under President Trump's energy agenda, analyses from the U.S. Energy Information Administration and BloombergNEF predict that Americaâs transition to renewable energy will persist. Both analyses forecast an increase in renewable electricity generation and rising overall electricity demand through 2050. However, the EIA does expect a decline in total U.S. energy demand as fossil fuel use decreases in homes and vehicles. Additionally, the report warns of significant electricity price spikes, while some fossil fuel generation may see improvements with regulatory rollbacks.
The annual energy outlooks from the U.S. Energy Information Administration and BloombergNEF indicate that, even with regulatory rollbacks, renewable electricity generation is expected to rise.
Overall U.S. energy demand is projected to fall as homes and vehicles increasingly shift away from fossil fuels, despite some fossil fuel production seeing improvements.
The EIA's projections reveal an alarming forecast of significant electricity price spikes in the coming decades, which could impact consumer energy bills.
The Department of Energy criticized its own agency's outlook, claiming that the current administration promotes energy growth and abundance as a counter to the EIA's findings.
