Renewables Vs. Trade Wars – the Battle Isn’t Over: BI Replay
Despite a recent slowdown in renewable investment—due to global trade tensions, inflationary pressures, and supply chain disruptions—the long-term outlook for clean-energy remains robust. Trade wars are impacting access to critical components like solar panels and batteries, slowing deployment timelines and increasing costs. However, underlying fundamentals such as policy support, technological advancements, and private investor's interest continue to provide momentum. The transition pace may be temporarily disrupted, but the global shift to clean energy may extend as new supply chains are built and policy risks subside.
