Why invest in renewable energy?

Investing in renewable energy is an attractive opportunity to invest in a growing and dynamic market, as well as a way to be actively involved in the many exciting developments in the market for green energy.

Europe has many companies with activities in all possible sectors of renewable energy. Nowadays, many wind turbine manufacturers, solar cell producers and consultants are no longer niche organizations but publicly listed million or billion euro companies. Many more small but promising companies might make their way to the European stock exchanges in the years to come. Germany, the United Kingdom, Denmark and Spain have most listed green energy companies, but the number of new companies in this sector is rapidly growing across the whole European Union.

The sector has – almost without exception – performed very well in the past two years. The solar energy market in particular has shown high returns, with 100% - 200% yearly returns not being exceptional. But for those who look back longer than just two years, it becomes clear that the sector has also gone through crashes and times of low profitability. Investing in new energy technologies is potentially very profitable, but very risky at the same time. This website provides information for those who consider to invest some money in this sector. EnergyPortal does not give specific recommendations, but assists the investor in finding interesting stocks and explaining how the stock can be purchased.
