Renewable Energy Dominates New Grid Capacity at 90 Percent
Clean power accounts for ~90% of new electrical capacity added to the grid, signaling a resilient sector despite political headwinds.
You might have written off renewables after the political noise of the past year. Don't. Clean power is responsible for roughly 90% of all new electrical capacity being added to the U.S. grid, according to the CEO of the American Clean Power Association.

The broader takeaway: the clean energy trade isn't dead. It's been beaten down, repriced, and now potentially set up for a comeback. Beaten-down sectors with real underlying demand growth are exactly where contrarian opportunity lives. Do your homework, size responsibly, and watch this space closely.
