This report, “U.S. Corporate Carbon Emissions-Free Energy Demand Outlook,” produced by the Clean Energy Buyers Association (CEBA) in collaboration with Wood Mackenzie, forecasts a massive surge in clean energy procurement. It predicts that Fortune 1000 companies will demand at least 275 GW of carbon-free capacity by 2035—equivalent to one-fifth of the current U.S. grid.
The analysis explores regional dynamics, technology trends like nuclear and geothermal, and the critical role of corporate demand in de-risking infrastructure projects. It serves as an essential guide for grid operators and policymakers planning for a carbon-free future.
