Schneider Electric has successfully facilitated $1.7 billion in tax credit transfer transactions through 18 deals since late 2023, supporting companies in their clean energy initiatives. These transactions span various sectors, enabling investments in renewable energy projects, battery storage, and other clean energy technologies.

The company's Sustainability Business, a leading advisor on corporate renewable energy procurement, provides comprehensive services including advisory, financial, and due diligence support. Notable collaborations include partnerships with Silfab Solar, Kimberly-Clark, Crux, and ENGIE.

According to BloombergNEF, the market for clean energy tax credit transfers is gaining momentum, making corporate energy procurement more attractive. IDC Energy Insights' Senior Research Director notes that these transactions are becoming crucial enablers for clean energy investment, helping both established companies and first-time buyers access capital for renewable and low-carbon technology deployments.

Schneider Electric reveals groundbreaking research on AI's impact on U.S. power demand at BNEF 2025 Summit. The company's new reports highlight that AI could drive up to 50% of U.S. electricity demand growth by 2030, with data center capacity projected to increase by 43-92 GW.

Key findings show critical infrastructure challenges, with 44% of data centers facing utility wait times exceeding 4 years. The company has facilitated over $1.7 billion in clean energy tax credit transfers since late 2023. Without proper grid modernization, AI power demand could reach 500 TWh by 2030, potentially triggering system-wide inefficiencies.

The research warns of possible energy crises across seven regional operators, including MISO, PJM, and ERCOT, by 2028. Industry professionals identify grid constraints as the primary barrier to data center projects, with 60% considering on-site power generation as a solution. The Mountain West region currently offers the fastest time to power for new projects.
