The Global Renewable Energy Technologies Market Continues To Grow Owing To the Rising Concerns over Environmental Damages and Governmental Policies Related To the Usage of Renewable Energies
Renewable
energy technologies are very important for the future and they will play a
large role in saving huge expenditures on utility bills. This includes using
appliances that require electricity and those that don't. One of the most
popular ways to change the way of powering the home is by using a windmill or
solar power generator. There are many different renewable energy technologies
and they all have their pros and cons. One of the major advantages of windmill
technology is that it is completely free and doesn't create any pollution which
is especially important when you consider global warming. While there are some
concerns about the environmental impacts of nuclear power, renewable energy
technologies are still the most promising because they are much cleaner and do
not have the harmful impact on the environment that other forms of energy
production have.
Market Dynamics
The
main driving factors influencing the growth of the renewable energy
technologies market are the immense climatic change that has resulted in the
commercialization of renewable energy sources, unstable oil prices, global
warming, incentives provide by governmental bodies, and rapid growth in
governmental support for using renewable energies. Governmental bodies all over
the world have increased regulations and expenditure related to non-renewable
energy sources to make the renewable energy sources more consumer friendly. For
instance, according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),
in 2019, solar energy comprised 2% of the net energy usage in the region.
According to Energy Information Administration (EIA), in 2019, the total wind
power generation in the U.S. was about 300 billion kWh and the wind turbines
were the source of approximately 7.3% of the net U.S. electricity generation in
the utility-scale.
However,
the high cost of renewable energies and the hassle to make a proper structure
especially in developing nations are the main restraining factor hindering the
growth of the market. Moreover, some
other factors such as availability of power, resource location, power quality
issues, information barrier, and political issues are expected to hinder the
market growth of renewable energy technologies.
The
renewable energy technology market is distributed in five regions that include
North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East, and Africa, and Latin
America. Among these, Asia-Pacific is expected to hold a bigger share of the
market owing to the rapid demand for energy for industrialization processes in
emerging economies such as India. For instance, the Bhadla Solar Park in India,
claims to be the largest solar power plant across the globe and generates 2250
MW of electricity. The renewable
energy technologies market in North America is estimated to witness a
significant rise in the market owing to the changing governmental policies
related to conserving the environment and reducing carbon footprints.
