  • Clean power developers see opportunities from AI and other growth sectors alongside a wave of new gas-fired plants as fundamentals remain strong.

The article from Reuters discusses the outlook for clean energy investments in the U.S. despite a concurrent rush to build natural gas plants. Investors and industry leaders remain optimistic about the future of clean power, driven by supportive policies like the Inflation Reduction Act, which offers significant tax incentives for renewable energy projects. Despite the short-term increase in natural gas plant construction, which is seen as a response to immediate grid reliability concerns, the long-term trend favors renewable energy due to falling costs, technological advancements, and a push towards decarbonization. Companies like NextEra Energy and AES Corp. are highlighted for their continued investment in solar, wind, and battery storage, expecting these sectors to grow significantly. The article also notes that while natural gas might provide a bridge, the ultimate goal is a transition to a predominantly clean energy grid, with investors betting on the sustained growth of renewables.
