US Renewable Energy Sector Outlook

Experts anticipate the US renewable energy industry to grow at a CAGR of more than 6% between 2022 and 2027. As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, the US renewable energy market saw a decline in investments in Q1 2020. Also, a potential slowdown in the adoption of important clean energy technology and project delays. Rising solar and wind energy installations through time, favourable government policies, falling solar panel costs, and further subsidies for renewables may drive the market for renewable energy.

Thanks to technological advancements, improved competitiveness of battery storage and falling prices, renewable energy sources are among the most cost-effective energy sources right now. Numerous states, utilities and municipalities have adopted stricter requirements for acquiring energy storage as part of their ambitious clean energy targets.

The demand for renewable energy may rise as awareness of climate change, backing for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors, and demand from the majority of market segments for cleaner energy sources rise.

The country plans to invest USD 555 billion in funding sustainable energy programs. As a result, the renewable energy sector and the popular energy stocks in the US may benefit from this.
