The Rhodium Group's analysis indicates that the bill could lead to a substantial increase in clean energy resources and transmission construction. Additionally, oil prices fell sharply due to ongoing peace negotiations between the U.S. and Iran, and the UK is set to impose new regulations on offshore wind projects to ensure they are cost-effective.
