The energy transition in the US will accelerate in 2023 as industries begin to execute ambitious plans following the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Evolving market dynamics, supply availability, power and system pricing, inflation, intense competition, transmission build, and innovation will determine the deployment and growth profile of renewable energy technologies as the US endeavors to decarbonize its economy.
Join our Power & Renewables analysts on Tuesday, April 4th, and learn what trends they are seeing day to day with the high penetration of renewables entering the market.
During the briefing, Wood Mackenzie will discuss:
- Impacts of the IRA on generation investment, power market prices and dynamics over the next two decades
- The outlook for the stationary energy storage industry, evolution of the supply chain, and power market trends influencing the attractiveness and opportunity for energy storage
- Our latest view on North American gas markets and what it means for power markets and renewables profitability
- The forks in the road ahead fo the EV charging space, which will determine winners, losers, and the makeup of the competitive landscape
- Findings from the first comprehensive analysis of the state of the virtual power plant market, including outstanding opportunities and growth markets
