The Department of Energy (DOE) has terminated eight more renewable energy service contracts this year, targeting developers that failed to meet contractual and regulatory requirements.
The move brings the total number of contracts revoked in 2025 to 84, representing about 5,372.209 megawatts of potential generating capacity.
In a statement, the DOE said the latest cancellations followed a thorough technical and legal review that found the projects noncompliant with key service contract provisions.
Violations cited include failure to fulfill work program requirements, not following the Green Energy Auction Program terms, and ignoring established DOE standards.
The agency said it is continuing to monitor renewable energy developers and has flagged 42 additional projects that could face termination pending ongoing enforcement checks.
Energy Secretary Sharon Garin emphasized that renewable energy development must be fast but accountable, noting that service contracts are performance commitments that must deliver reliable power for consumers.
The DOE is also revisiting supply-demand scenarios and conducting further system planning to determine next steps toward meeting the country’s power generation targets.
Developers found violating contract terms may face further penalties, including blacklisting and forfeiture of performance bonds, as the agency aims to clear stalled projects and prioritize credible developers.
