Clean energy stocks are back. But the sector’s success rests largely on one company
The renewable energy sector is experiencing a significant rebound, largely driven by Bloom Energy Corp., which has seen its stock surge by 1,400% over the past year. While Bloom Energy's performance is notable, the overall growth in global renewable energy capacity is also encouraging, with a 15.5% increase reported last year. Investors are optimistic about the future of clean energy, despite challenges in the U.S. market and rising interest rates affecting the sector in previous years.
