EDPR confident Biden's US renewables law won't be cut by Trump
Changes headline and paragraph 1, adds CEO quotes throughout
By Sergio Goncalves
LISBON, Nov 6 (Reuters) -EDP Renovaveis EDPR.LS, the world's fourth-largest wind energy producer, believes U.S. renewable energy legislation introduced under President Joe Biden will not face significant cuts when Donald Trump succeeds him in January, its CEO said on Wednesday.
The renewable energy sector experienced strong growth during Trump's first presidency and many major clean energy investments that have benefited from Biden's Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) are located in Republican states, Miguel Stilwell d'Andrade said in a call with analysts on Wednesday.
"We believe that the benefits these states have gained under the IRA make it unlikely the legislation will face substantial cuts," Stilwell d'Andrade said.
"I continue to see strong growth in the United States," he added.
Trump has vowed to scrap offshore wind projects on his first day in office and to roll back climate regulations implemented under Biden.
EDPR shares fell 11% on Wednesday, in line with other clean energy utilities in Europe, which plummeted after Trump's victory in Tuesday's presidential election.
Stilwell d'Andrade said that 18 House Republicans wrote a letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson defending the IRA's clean energy tax credits, arguing that 80% of investment flows go to Republican states.
"This means jobs, growth in these states," he said.
The new Trump administration may focus on reviving or reversing the closure of nuclear projects, and there might be discussions about using more gas, but it "will not be against renewables", he said.
Demand for electricity is being driven by data centres and decommissioned nuclear plants will take time to be brought back online, he added.
The U.S. is EDPR's largest market by installed capacity, with around 8 gigawatts (GW), or almost half of its total.
