The Business Council for Sustainable Energy and BloombergNEF recently released the fourteenth edition of the Sustainable Energy in America Factbook. It is available to download for free at bcse.org/factbook.

The Factbook provides a comprehensive look at the progress of key energy industries – energy efficiency, natural gas, and renewable energy – in the United States, providing both year-on-year and decade-long statistics.

Designed for a broad audience, the Factbook is a key resource for public policymakers, curious students, and energy professionals alike. Find out why energy industry leaders refer to the Sustainable Energy in America Factbook as their go-to resource on the U.S. energy expansion.

Paula Glover, President, Alliance to Save Energy

“The 2026 Factbook shows an increase in energy productivity and that is a trend that we must continue. From data centers to businesses to residential settings, we must get ruthlessly aggressive about energy efficiency and demand side management to address affordability and take pressure off our strained infrastructure.  It’s not optional.”

Billie Kaumaya, Vice President, Federal Affairs, American Clean Power Association

“As demand soars across the United States, the comprehensive data in the 2026 Factbook affirms that clean energy will continue to be a leader in bringing energy onto the grid. Our team is proud to sponsor this important tool for advocating for the clean energy projects that keep energy affordable and reliable for American families.”

Lynn Abramson, President, Clean Energy Business Network

“In the face of rapid shifts in the energy landscape, including rising energy demand from data centers, it is more important than ever to understand the current landscape of the U.S. energy economy. The Factbook shows us that clean energy and energy efficiency can help meet the moment – addressing both reliability and affordability concerns facing families and businesses across the country.”

Heather Reams, President and CEO, CRES Forum

“This year’s Factbook clearly demonstrates the need for an ‘all-of-the-above’ approach to energy generation. Doing so will allow us to meet growing electricity demand while simultaneously boosting our economy and lowering global emissions.”

Joel Yu, Senior Vice President, Policy and External Affairs, Enchanted Rock

“This year’s Factbook highlights the accelerating pace of change across the U.S. energy system – from rising demand to shifting price dynamics. It reinforces that reliability is foundational to long-term progress towards decarbonization. At Enchanted Rock, we believe flexible, dispatchable natural gas resources are essential to strengthening reliability as the energy resource mix continues to evolve. U.S. economic competitiveness will depend on the industry’s ability to provide abundant, affordable, and reliable energy via resilient infrastructure and flexible supply. BCSE’s 2026 Factbook provides the insights and analysis that industry leaders need to make informed decisions in a transforming energy market.”

Katie McGinty, Vice President and Chief Sustainability and External Relations Officer, Johnson Controls

“This year’s Factbook highlights how strategic investments in sustainability are growing and remain essential to drive competitive advantage for businesses, especially in mission-critical industries like data centers, hospitals, and chip manufacturing. While buildings account for nearly 40% of global emissions, the technology exists today to slash operational costs and energy use – especially important as energy demand and prices rise. Across the market, executives are continuing to recognize that sustainability is good business.”

Heather Zichal, Global Head of Sustainability, JPMorganChase

“JPMorganChase is proud to support this year’s Factbook, offering clear, data-driven insights on the trends and innovations shaping affordable, reliable, and cleaner energy. By grounding our strategies in robust data, we help our clients and communities seize new opportunities, manage risks, and build a more secure, sustainable future.”

Anna J. Siefken, Director for Policy and Markets, North America, Long Duration Energy Storage Council

“BCSE and BloombergNEF’s findings are an important signal of where energy investment is heading and confirm what we are seeing in the market: global novel long duration energy storage (LDES) deployment continued to break records in 2025, with 2 GW / 9 GWh of new installations. This aligns with our own benchmarking research, which projects total project cost declines of up to 47% by 2030 depending on LDES technology type.

Reports like the Sustainable Energy in America Factbook are essential in bringing clarity and credibility to these market trends and helping stakeholders understand how sustained deployment, together with falling costs, are strengthening the confidence in LDES at scale.”

Bob Hinkle, President and CEO, Metrus Energy

“There is a critical but often overlooked energy fact that is key to understanding why developing and financing sustainable energy projects makes sense. The fact is that energy efficiency and renewable energy assets are the most cost-effective and quickest to deploy energy resources that we have. With rapid increases in electricity cost and demand, aging energy infrastructure, and businesses seeking affordable energy solutions, BCSE’s Factbook helps make sure we all get the facts.”

Malcolm Woolf, President and CEO, National Hydropower Association

“The Factbook remains an invaluable tool. I continue to keep the latest edition by my desk all year long because it’s the go-to resource for the state of the energy industry. Especially during this new era of load growth, the Factbook is indispensable as a guide for objective, reliable, fact-driven decision making. I encourage any person who’s working toward a better energy future to utilize this important asset.”

Danny Rice, President and CEO, Net Power

“The 2026 Factbook underscores the essential role natural gas continues to play in powering our economy – and the even greater role carbon capture projects will have in the years to come. With energy demand rising, the Factbook makes one thing clear: we need to produce more energy while reducing emissions.”

Curt Rich, President and CEO, North American Insulation Manufacturers Association

“As energy demand continues to grow and costs soar, the smartest investment we can make is reducing the energy we waste. Efficiency – starting with better insulation – remains a proven, scalable solution that benefits communities nationwide by reducing energy use and managing energy costs.”

Jeannie Salo, Chief Public Policy Officer, Schneider Electric

“New Factbook data reveals that industrial processes are rapidly electrifying, and AI-fueled data center growth continues to reach astronomic heights. Combined, these trends are leading to unprecedented energy demand in the United States. To meet the moment, we must accelerate our time to power through public-private collaboration and the deployment of innovative energy tech that can strengthen grid resilience and optimize operations at scale.”

Justin Baca, Vice President, Markets and Research, Solar Energy Industries Association

“Now more than ever, access to cutting-edge data and analysis is essential for policymakers, investors, the media, and the public to understand the evolving energy landscape. The 2026 Factbook provides valuable insights on the solar and storage industry’s growth. With demand continuing to skyrocket, solar and storage are the quickest and most affordable way to add new power to the grid. SEIA is honored to support BCSE’s work on this Factbook to advance our shared work of ensuring our country’s energy future is affordable, reliable, and American-made.”

Joanna Osawe, Founder, President, and CEO, Women in Renewable Energy (WiRE)

“The Sustainable Energy in America Factbook continues to be an indispensable compass for the energy industry. For organizations like Women in Renewable Energy (WiRE), the Factbook’s deep dive into market growth and technology innovation provides the essential benchmarks needed to navigate a rapidly evolving landscape. We value the Factbook for its ability to transform complex data, from shifting energy demands to supply chain deployment, into actionable insights that empower our members to lead the transition to a cleaner, more resilient future.
