The transition from non-renewable energy sources to renewable energy is enabled by a societal push and technological developments toward sustainability. The energy transition, fueled by long-term changes in demand, structure, energy supply, and prices, also tries to reduce power-related emissions of greenhouse gases. These aspects are expected to drive the energy transition market scope.

Furthermore, the rising penetration of renewable energy in the supply of energy, electrification, and advancement in the storage of energy are all key drivers of the energy transition market. Commitment and regulation towards decarbonization have been diversified, but the transition of energy is to continue to increase in prominence as financiers prioritize, social, environmental, and governance (ESG) factors. The use of energy transition for residential purpose lowers the carbon footprint and save power.

The surge in the growth of solar energy and the development of solar farms in evolving nations are expected to generate electricity prominently and is expected to offer more opportunities for global energy transition market growth during the forecast period. Solar and wind costs have decreased so drastically that wind power is now more economical than conventional high-carbon energy supplies in several parts of the US, as well as the UK and Europe. The energy transition market size is to be developed and solidify as a significant investment opportunity as costs continue to decrease and wind and solar become more mainstream during the forecast period.

For instance, in Jan 2023, as the Earth continues to overheat at an alarming rate, the UN Environment Programme (UNEP)-led Cool Coalition announced the creation of a Global Cooling Pledge and a "Cool COP Menu of Actions" that will be prominently featured at COP28. They developed in partnership with partners such as the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) during the following months.

Some of the energy transition market key players are Exelon Corporation, Pacific Gas and Electric Company, Southern Company, American Electric Power, Edison International, Repsol, Brookfield Renewable Partners, Plug Power Inc., Enphase, First Solar, Sunpower, Enel, Ørsted A/S, and NextEra Energy, Inc.To know about the Research Methodology :- Request Free Sample Report

Energy Transition Market Dynamics:
Advancement in Technology and Public Policy Drives the Demand for Energy Transition Market

The transition to innovative energy sources is driven by demand, supply, technological advancements, and public policy. With rising demand driven by population expansion and higher living standards, energy has driven the evolution of society — from pre-agricultural foraging to fossil fuel-powered megacities. The energy sector has begun to change in positive ways, with broad acceptance of renewables and allied technologies pointing to a bright future. Renewable energy is sweeping the global energy transition market for new power generation capacity.

However, this energy transformation involves additional acceleration and is not only optimism for the power sector, but also for the end-use sectors of industry, buildings, and transportation. The advancement of renewable energy-producing technology opens up prospects to use clean energy as a driver for decarbonizing end-use sectors are expected to propel the energy transition market driver.

For instance, In Nov 2022, Appalachian Power added a third solar project to its Virginia energy portfolio, gained clearance for 209 MW of wind and solar facilities, and published RFPs for over 1,500 MW of wind, solar, and battery storage.

The High Cost of Installation Restraints the Market Growth

High installation costs, as well as the loss of natural resources, are acting as market limitations for the energy transition market throughout the projection period. Growing levels of global warming and a rapid increase in population are expected to be the most significant challenges to the growth of the energy transition market during the forecast period. The development of dispatchable renewables is important to integrating additional wind and solar, although its growth is expected to delay slightly. Hydropower, bioenergy, geothermal, and concentrated solar power expansion account for only 11% of global renewable capacity expansion over the projected timeframe. Flexible and dispatchable renewables hampered energy transition market share due to their relatively higher costs, lack of regulatory support, and limited payment.

Regulatory Measures and Government Push to Create Sustainable Measures across the World to Foster the Growth of the Energy Transition Market

The level of commitment to the energy transition is greater than ever at the start of 2023, with around 21% of the world's largest 2,000 corporations now committed to net zero targets through energy transitions. While authorities continue to be expected to lead on net zero targets, businesses are also increasingly taking the lead in implementing decarbonization routes. The energy transformation could lead to job creation in communities throughout the world. One notable example is in the US, where building an offshore wind sector is seen as a priority not only for its contribution to climate change mitigation but also because it has the potential to employ 44,000 people by 2030.

According to experts, solar, Wind, and energy storage, might help decarbonize up to 90% of electricity output. Many of the survey's conclusions align with conventional wisdom, such as the notion that electrification will be critical to economy-wide decarbonization. In addition, technological innovation and an increase and government investment in R&D are expected to boost the energy transition market opportunity in the forecast period.

For instance, in Feb 2022, Southwestern Electric Power Company (SWEPCO) was seeking permission from authorities in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas for three clean energy projects totaling 999 megawatts (MW). The projects involve a $2.2 billion investment in environmentally friendly, cost-effective resources.
