Vice President, Energy & Power

The tariffs imposed by the Executive Order (EO) are expected to significantly impact the energy and infrastructure sectors. New build energy projects in the United States heavily depend on importing components such as inverters, transformers, cabling, solar panels, mounting racks, and batteries from regions such as Southeast Asia, China, and the European Union. These tariffs are likely to affect all energy and infrastructure projects.

 
We are seeing large capital projects across the United States impose caveats within their EPC contracts; allowing for steep and continual price adjustments upward. This is impacting billions of dollars of critical material and contractual obligated componentry. This also includes all materials with high volatility (steel, copper, aluminum). Not only are projects costs on the rise but so are supply chain disruptions, potentially causing delays in project timelines and/or project cancellations.

The United States continues to grow in energy demand requirements, provided the vast deployment of data centers. Because of this grid reliability, modernization and new build implementation is critical in the coming decade. The tariffs are likely to have a large impact on these projects as well, given their requirement for componentry from all the regions impacted.
As this situation continues to develop, the full implications and responses for the energy and infrastructure industry will become more apparent.
