Investing in a renewable future - an ambitious strategy in the wake of a global pandemic
| Resumo: | This equity research paper focuses on EDP Renováveis (EDPR) and the renewable energy market. EDPR is a renewable energy company, developing, building, and operating renewable assets. Until 2020, the Company was primarily focused on wind onshore. According to its strategic plan, EDPR aims at diversifying its portfolio mix, notably to invest in Solar PV in the next 5 years. EDPR is currently present in North America, Europe and Latin America. It was incorporated in 2008, and it is part of EDP Group (EDP owning a >70% stake).Across the globe, the push for increase in renewable energy installations are currently under way, in order to meet ambitious political goals. In the private sector, we see major companies contracting PPAs with renewable energy producers, to meet ESG driven goals due to increased pressure from stake holders. There is no doubt about the market potential in the coming years, particularly with the expected increase in wind onshore and solar PV installations. The question is whether EDPR will be able to seize this opportunity, amidst unparalleled interest from its peers and new competitors that traditionally were not part of the renewable energy industry. |
