The Renewable Energy sector grows in the US despite Government Policy

A new report has been published. You can access all reports by clicking on Classroom and navigating to Section 6.2.

This report explains what is happening in the U.S. electricity system during the “energy transition” (the long-term shift away from coal, oil, and gas toward cleaner power like solar and wind).

It shows that even if federal politics becomes less supportive of renewables, the core trend still looks similar: electricity demand keeps rising, solar and wind keep growing, and coal keeps shrinking. It also breaks down, simply, why this continues to happen.

The report has been written using the following sources, along with extra details that I added.

Reading industry reports like this one is very helpful because it helps us demonstrate energy market awareness (economics, finance, trends). You can expect 1-2 such reports every week, focusing on key economic trends in the energy sector (extremely valuable for interviews, networking, and demonstrating expertise). The report has been written using the following sources, along with extra details that I added.
