Power & Utilities

Energy investment trends globally point to more widespread uptake of renewables as costs come down, particularly in the electric power sector. Utilities are increasingly adding solar, wind and battery storage to the electric grid as these resources become more affordable and as the financial, stranded-asset and climate risks associated with fossil fuels rise. By tracking data, such as power plant closures, energy auctions, infrastructure purchases, markets and export sales, IEEFA is able to spot trends before they become widely recognized as milestones in the transition to a more sustainable energy economy.
