The U.S. Senate's massive budget bill that passed on Tuesday will make it harder to develop wind and solar energy projects, despite the removal of some contentious provisions, industry advocates and lawmakers said.

The bill, which passed the US House on May 22 on a 215-214 vote, would have a huge impact on renewable projects across the country, rolling back most of the tax credits provided through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which significantly boosted renewable energy development.
