Renewable energy companies continue to capture the imagination of investors, entrepreneurs, and governments as challenges and concerns related to climate change, increasing energy demand, energy security, and favorable regulatory policy present themselves. However, while the long-term drivers for renewable energy remain promising, the renewable energy industry is faced with many uncertainties and unknowns that create unique challenges. This is when Deloitte's insights can make all the difference.

Alternative thinking

Look around. At some point in your daily travels, potentially on your very own street, you’ll likely see rooftop solar panels, utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays, wind turbines, and/or electric vehicle charging stations. This doesn’t even include the activity going on behind the scenes, such as biomass-to-electric plants, new energy storage systems, and biofuel blends at the pump.

There are many reasons we are seeing so much progress so fast in the world of alternative energy and why the march forward is likely unstoppable. This report will delve into these game-changers, examine remaining barriers, and challenge the prevailing view of what’s possible by presenting some “what-if” scenarios that could potentially propel the renewable power sector ahead with lightning speed, perhaps far outpacing current projections, should they come to pass.
