A tricky mix of tailwinds and headwinds will buffet power and renewables companies in 2023. National-level ambition across Europe, US and Asia to decarbonise power supply remains high – with renewed impetus from the European energy crisis. But reality is not matching ambition. Policies are not keeping up with the market.

It’ll be a year of dealing with mixed signals for management teams. And this is not conducive to accelerating capital budgets, especially in Europe.

Companies will adapt their strategies and investment plans to the different outlooks for power and renewables in various regions. But what are the key strategic themes to look for in 2023? And what are the wildcards that could come into play over the course of the year?

In our corporate overview, we assess the landscape for leading power and renewables companies over the coming year. The report focuses on five topics:

  1. Evolution of the renewables’ playbook takes a leap forward
  2. Uncertainty and bottlenecks hamper European companies
  3. US renewables really heats up
  4. Emerging technology in focus
  5. Supply chain issues ease, but don’t disappear.
