Q1 2021 - Alternative Energy Market Update
February 16, 2021
GreenFront Energy’s market update provides a quarterly snapshot of market trends across the Alternative Energy (AE) landscape. Our intent is not to provide exhaustive research on each topic, but to distill a large amount of information into an organized, easily readable, reference document that enables our readers to stay up to speed on topics like M&A, Capital Markets, Project Development, ESG, and Corporate PPA Activity. We cover companies and activity across the AE value chain, with a focus on Wind, Solar, Storage, Renewable Natural Gas (RNG), Carbon Capture & Sequestration (CCS), Hydrogen, and Cleantech.
What’s new since our Q4’20 update?
We have a new administration significantly more friendly toward renewables,
We have a new FERC commissioner who supports a number of policies that lower barriers to greater clean energy adoption, and;
Even with substantial industry layoffs and COVID disruptions, 2020 was a year of growth for renewable energy investment and deployment.
2021 is poised to be a dynamic year. Demand for renewables continues to grow as corporates make more ambitious commitments to sustainability and decarbonization is top of mind for utility management teams and investors alike. As GreenFront begins its second year as an independent firm focused exclusively on Alternative Energy, we are excited to continue bringing together the financial, intellectual, entrepreneurial, and natural resources to meaningfully decarbonize our energy sector.
