Could renewables be the Majors' next big thing?
Loading current market price
Summary
Wind and solar are poised to radically reshape energy markets. Though the timing of the energy transition is highly uncertain, oil and gas companies need to build expertise, balance and optionality to hedge against any future erosion of the upstream value proposition. The Majors are leading the way in shaping strategies as they look to capture a piece of the action in this fast growing market.

Why buy this report?
The transition to new energy marks the biggest shift in strategic direction in a generation. The growth opportunity in renewables cannot be ignored. Use our analysis to:
- Understand how the Majors are repositioning portfolios as the case for renewables becomes compelling
- Identify the scale of the opportunity for renewables, expected to be the fastest-growing primary energy source globally over the next 20 years
- Make informed capital allocation decisions by comparing renewable energy against upstream returns
We have invested heavily to build a strong competency in alternative power and renewables.
Our report offers an expert view of the factors that will influence the Major's investment decisions as they seek to take advantage of growing renewable energy demand. It includes:
- Data tracking growth in the renewables market over 20 years
- Forecasts for how real revenues will evolve from renewables, and shift away from global oil and gas
- Detailed power project economics, based on market geography and plant type
- Cost comparison of wind and solar against upstream projects, to compare and contrast opportunities
