Oil & gas majors in renewable energy: Where to invest along the renewable energy value chain?
The oil and gas Majors are looking to grow in renewable energy, but in order to succeed they will have a number of challenges to overcome. The renewable energy market is highly competitive and fragmented, returns on investments are typically lower than in oil and gas, and the average investment is much smaller in size. The Majors may want to look towards M&A, developing offshore wind, or solar PV in emerging markets in order to find a competitive edge and be able to deploy sufficient capital to grow in the sector. This is the second report in a series of three, analyzing the potential opportunities and challenges for the oil and gas majors in the renewable energy sector. The first, Oil and gas majors in renewable energy: The hunt for the best returns, was published last month. The third report will be published in early November. Our Power & Renewables reports and data provide deep insight into the current and future state of electricity generation.
