AES, Clearway Energy Group, Cypress Creek Renewables, and D. E. Shaw Renewable Investments form buying consortium to purchase over 6 GW of crystalline silicon solar modules annually to encourage the rapid scaling of domestic solar manufacturing in the United States<\/em><\/p>\n

Leading independent power producers, The AES Corporation (NYSE: AES), Clearway Energy Group (Clearway), Cypress Creek Renewables, and D. E. Shaw Renewable Investments (DESRI), have formed the US Solar Buyer Consortium to support the expansion of the domestic solar supply chain and drive the growth of the American solar industry.<\/p>\n

Increasing solar energy deployment is essential to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 and limiting global temperature rise to 1.5\u00b0 C. While the White House\u2019s recently announced 24-month bridge for certain solar imports and actions to support domestic manufacturing are a large step towards addressing supply chain challenges, the consortium recognizes that more needs to be done to build upon the industry\u2019s progress towards providing lower-cost, reliable, clean power to American families and businesses.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday\u2019s announcement from our consortium is another meaningful step toward bolstering America\u2019s solar supply chain,\u201d said Craig Cornelius, CEO of Clearway Energy Group. \u201cBy enacting legislation pending before Congress, policymakers can enable our consortium\u2019s goal to broaden the range of products we use from American sources and increase our domestic solar manufacturing workforce. We look forward to partnering with federal, state, and local partners in government to fulfill this goal over the years ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n
