10 Cleantech Trends in 2022

May 24, 2022

Renewables are already the cheapest source of new power generation in most markets across the world.
Cost declines due to technology evolutions and rapid policy advancements have triggered new investments,
leading to further capacity additions and price drops. In the case of solar PV, investors and governments
have come to expect continuously lower capex. In recent years however, as the technologies have matured,
the capex of solar and wind has declined at a slower pace and become subject to temporary supply chain
hurdles, such as the past year’s escalating shipment costs, rising module prices and escalating steel costs.
