CEBA Analysis Shows Restrictions on New Solar and Wind Resources Increase U.S. Energy Prices
A new analysis from the Corporate Energy Buyers Association (CEBA) puts a price tag on government restricting new solar and wind power development. These restrictions will add $121.2 billion in additional electricity and natural gas costs for American consumers between 2027 and 2033.
Texans would bear the heaviest burden, with households on the ERCOT grid facing a projected 22.2% increase in average electricity costs. When every technology is allowed to compete on a level playing field, consumers win. When government picks winners and blocks competitors, families and businesses pay the bill. Markets, not mandates, deliver affordable and reliable power.
