Renewable Energy Sector: A surge in Investments and Growth

An outlook

The renewable energy sector is seeing a rise as people and governments are shifting towards sustainability. This is due to the rising concerns over depletion of resources all over the globe. In the recent times, as more companies are taking part in the renewable energy sector, the demand for top renewable stocks in India are expected to rise.

Investments in the Renewable sector

Global: In the previous year the global investment in transition to low-carbon energy exceeded $2 trillion for the first time. Most countries around the world are investing in building green infrastructure and cleaner power sources to achieve the climate targets under the Paris Agreement.  

Domestic: India’s move towards renewable energy is accelerating due to substantial investments made by both public and private organizations. While Tata Power is looking at $5.6 billion in renewable energy investments in Andhra Pradesh, NTPC is investing more than ₹2 trillion in green projects throughout Madhya Pradesh.

A milestone for the sector

In the past year, renewable power provided a record of 32% of the global electricity. There has been an increase in the record but progress is still falling short of the 2030 renewable capacity target.

The growth of renewable power generation, including wind, hydro and solar, in the global electricity mix in 2024 beat the previous year’s 30% record.

Clean energy becomes more affordable

The cost of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and battery storage are expected to fall around 2% to 11% this year, even if import tax on green energy are an example of increasing government policies to restrict international trade on these sectors. Another reason for this is due to increased competition in the renewable sector.
