AI Overview
Renewable energy growth in the U.S. is accelerating, driven by cost competitiveness and new projects coming online.
The SunZia Wind Project, the largest wind farm in the U.S., is set to commence operations this month, three years after construction began. Meanwhile, solar power held a record 12.8% share of U.S. electricity supply in May, surpassing coal for the first full month ever. Lazard's 2026 LCOE+ report confirms renewables remain the lowest-cost option for new power generation despite inflationary pressures.
Utilities and clean energy stocks are poised to benefit from this trend. Companies like NextEra Energy (NEE) and Enphase Energy (ENPH), which focus on renewable energy and energy storage, could see increased demand and investment. The shift towards renewables may also impact coal and natural gas producers, potentially leading to a reassessment of their valuations.
What to watch next: Investors should monitor the completion of other major renewable energy projects, such as the Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) and the Vineyard Wind offshore wind farm, both expected to finish in 2022. Additionally, keep an eye on the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which, if passed, could provide significant tax incentives for clean energy investments.
