Key Trends Driving the Market

1. Grid Modernization & Decentralization

Smart grids, microgrids, and distributed energy resources (DERs) are enabling greater integration of renewables while improving grid reliability and efficiency.

2. Corporate Clean Energy Procurement

Large companies like Google, Amazon, and Apple are entering long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), directly boosting renewable capacity.

3. Storage Integration

Energy storage (particularly lithium-ion batteries) is becoming critical to balance intermittent supply from wind and solar. The global storage market is expected to reach $1200 billion by 2035.

4. Falling Costs

The cost of solar PV and wind has dropped by over 80% in the last decade. This continues to make renewables more competitive than fossil fuels in many regions.

5. Green Hydrogen Emergence

Green hydrogen, produced from renewables via electrolysis, is gaining traction as a decarbonization solution for hard-to-electrify sectors like shipping, aviation, and heavy industry.
