Trump Rules Freeze Chinese Investments in U.S. Solar Projects
TL;DR
Rhodium Group estimates Chinese firms abandoned about $2.8 billion in planned U.S. clean-energy projects since 2022 as Trump-era FEOC rules tighten on Chinese ownership; major players like JinkoSolar, Trina Solar, and JA Solar have sold stakes in U.S. facilities, slowing deployment and raising power costs, per Reuters. The report notes China’s domestic solar capacity is expanding rapidly, with hundreds of gigawatts under construction and more announced, signaling a continued push to lead in clean-energy manufacturing despite the pullback in America.
