ENERGY
MASSIVE GLOBAL GROWTH OPPORTUNITY
Renewables (especially wind and solar) are the fastest-growing energy infrastructure category in the world. Investment in new renewable energy capacity is now outpacing investment in conventional power by 2-1, and is running at $300 - $400 billion per year. Renewables are moving to the center of the global energy landscape.
GROWTH INCREASINGLY DRIVEN BY MARKETS, NOT SUBSIDIES
The growth expectations for renewables are driven in part by massive declines in cost, which now make wind & solar a cheap form of energy – increasingly without the need for subsidies. This means growth is driven more by market demand from actual consumers of electricity, which are buying renewable energy at an unprecedented scale.
ATTRACTIVE INVESTMENT CHARACTERISTICS
Renewable infrastructure assets generate stable cash flows under long-term, inflation-protected contractual arrangements, often with 20+ years of revenue visibility. Renewables have no fuel costs and relatively low operating costs. Their cash flows have no correlation to commodity prices or economic cycles. These attributes make renewable energy assets highly coveted among infrastructure investors.
ALL SOURCES OF ENERGY ARE NEEDED
The need for reliable and affordable energy is more fundamental. It can improve and even save lives. Everywhere, reliable energy supports expanded industry, modern agriculture, increased trade and improved transportation.
Wind Energy
Wind energy, or wind power, has been around for hundreds of years, starting with the first windmills. In recent years, though, we’ve seen the simple windmill evolve into a powerful, modern turbine that is capable of powering hundreds of homes. Today, utility-scale turbines let us capture the energy created by wind, harness it, and transfer it to your home or business through the power grid.
Solar Energy
Solar energy, or solar power, is created when the natural energy from the sun is converted into electrical or thermal energy. The energy is generated through one of two ways: by converting the sun’s light into electricity or by converting the sun’s heat into electricity. More recent advancements have made solar energy more available and less costly, allowing more individuals access to clean energy.
Why participate in the development of renewable energy production projects?
The energy market has changed considerably over the past decades. Now, we can make the choice to do something good for the environment and therefore for the whole planet. When we choose renewable energy, we’ll actively support the creation and expansion of renewable energy infrastructures. The development and expansion of these programs will help with the following:
- The reduction of carbon emissions from fossil fuels
- The creation of more jobs in green energy manufacturing, installation, & more...
The green energy industry is boxing-creating more jobs every year. But there is still a long way to go to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and improve our planet. By using renewable energy, we are doing our part to protect the environment, the planet and the future.
