Analysts at Wismuller Gunter Focused on Green Energy and Renewables
London, United Kingdom, September 19, 2016 --(PR.com)-- The renewables sector has been a favorite for investors for many years now and the analysts at Wismuller Gunter are raising their forecasts for the sector.
Following the release of the Wismuller Gunter’s energy investment report, we can see a significant re-orientation of global energy spending. Total spending reduced from USD 2 trillion in 2014 to USD 1.8 trillion in 2015. Low-carbon energy is the future and investment in clean energy technologies needs to be a major area of focus to keep the world economy on track for climate stabilization.
Over USD 313 billion was invested in renewable energy in 2015, accounting for almost a fifth of total energy spending, this had established renewable energy as the largest source of power investment. Steep declines in the cost of production for technologies such as wind turbines and solar PV helped contribute to a surge in electricity generation from this new capacity. 2015 figures show that investment in renewable power capacity covers global electricity demand growth.
Wismuller Gunter has patiently built up its position in the renewable sector over the last 10 years and investments in technological innovations in smart grids and storage, which are expected to play a crucial role in integrating large shares of wind and solar are now coming to maturity.
Investment in gas-fired power generation has declined by nearly 40% as European activity in gas-power remained muted. Asian Markets however continue to bolster the commodity.
Analysts at Wistmuller Gunter have reported that investment in energy efficiency spending was robust in 2015; rising 6% due to government policies such as minimum standards that cover a rising share of new buildings, motor vehicles and appliances. Lower prices slowed the trend towards more fuel-efficient vehicles in certain countries, most notably in the United States where the rate of improvement in efficiency was more than two-thirds lower than in recent years.
Companies around the world are investing heavily into renewable technology to improve the bottom line of their business and to promote corporate sustainability, one of the worlds leading manufacturers General Motors announced yesterday that they intend to run on 100% renewable energy by 2050.
GM has been a pioneer with the use of renewable energy for more than 20 years. They have saved over $80 million to date and the company currently saves around $5 million annually due to investments in renewable technologies on its facilities, this figure is expected to increase as projects come online and the supply of renewable energy increases. Many of GM’s facilities use solar arrays and wind power and some are using landfill gas. The company has gained valuable experience with this technology to help it achieve its goal of incorporating renewable energy into its global operations.
The new renewable energy commitment for 2050 builds on GM’s previous goal to promote the use of 125 megawatts of renewable energy by 2020. The company expects to exceed this when two new wind projects come online later this year to help power four manufacturing operations.
