10 Most Profitable Renewable Energy Stocks Now

Page 1 of 9

In this article, we will discuss the most profitable renewable energy stocks to buy now.

In an interview with CNBC on November 9, John Berger, CEO of Sunnova stated that the market is misunderstanding the effects of a Trump administration on solar. Berger addressed speculation about the potential scaling back of the IRA policies under the Trump administration noting that the IRA will not change much, as it has been successful in promoting domestic manufacturing of solar panels, batteries, and electric vehicles. In fact, 85% of the capital investments in these areas are in Republican districts.

Berger also highlighted the success of the IRA in incentivizing domestic manufacturing, citing the tax credit for manufacturing and the domestic content requirement in the investment tax credit. He emphasized that both parties agree on the importance of domestic manufacturing.

Renewable Energy Under Trump’s Agenda

In another interview with CNBC on November 14, Bill Perkins, President and CEO at Skylar Capital Management, shared his insights on the energy agenda under President Trump’s new administration. Perkins emphasized that the incoming administration is “pro-energy of all kinds,” whether it’s nuclear, renewable, natural gas, or any other type of energy. He believes that the administration will aim to remove delays, bottlenecks, and frustration points that hinder energy production in the United States.

Perkins noted that the markets have already reacted to the change in administration, with renewable energy companies seeing their stocks relatively lower compared to oil and gas stocks. Perkins suggested that people are worried about the incentives, such as the Inflation Reduction Act, going away. However, he believes that the first thing the administration will focus on is addressing the permitting times, which are currently too long. He pointed out that there is a wing within the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the government that is anti-development and is hurting renewable energy production.

We also discussed the US government’s incentives for the nuclear energy sector in our article about the 10 Best Nuclear Energy Stocks To Invest In Now, here’s an excerpt from it:

“To support nuclear expansion, the U.S. government has bolstered the sector with tax credits, loans, and research funding. The Inflation Reduction Act’s (IRA) production and investment tax credits for new reactors and existing plants are expected to play a pivotal role.

In 2024, Congress provided a $2.72 billion allocation for developing a domestic nuclear fuel supply chain and passed the ADVANCE Act to improve licensing process efficiency. Congress also allocated $900 million specifically for Gen III+ Small modular reactors (SMRs).

Small modular reactors (SMRs) are an alternative to traditional nuclear plants and offer a promising new opportunity for nuclear energy. SMRs are a type of nuclear reactor with a power capacity of up to 300 MW(e) per unit. They are manufactured off-site and shipped to the location for installation, making them more cost-effective and suitable for a wider range of areas.”

With the global demand for clean energy on the rise and innovation in renewable technologies driving growth, the sector’s long-term outlook remains compelling. With that in context, let’s take a look at the 10 most profitable renewable energy stocks now.

Located in Talbot County, the facility is capable of storing energy that can be deployed back to the grid over a four-hour period. The facility is expected to improve the efficiency of renewable energy by storing excess energy produced during periods of low demand, such as during the day, for use during periods of high demand.

In addition to the Mossy Branch facility, Georgia Power is developing the 265 MW McGrau Ford Phase I BESS project in Cherokee County, which is expected to enter service by the end of 2026. Furthermore, Georgia Power plans to procure an additional 1,000 MW of new battery energy storage through competitive bidding processes in the coming years.

The company also announced the locations of 500 MW of new BESS projects that will be owned by Georgia Power, including projects located adjacent to Robins Air Force Base, Moody Air Force Base, and the former Plant Hammond site.

9. Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX)  

Upside Potential: 5.61%  

5-Year Net Income CAGR: 4.69%  

TTM Net Income: $16.68 Billion

Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX) also offers renewable diesel blends with renewable content ranging from 6% to 20% at its California terminals. These blends are derived from sustainable materials such as vegetable oils and animal fats.

On October 15, Chevron Renewable Energy Group announced an investment in Terviva, an agricultural innovation company that specializes in growing and harvesting pongamia, a type of tree that can be used as a feedstock for biofuel production. This strategic partnership aims to scale up Terviva’s Pongamia-growing operations and increase the availability of pongamia as a lower-carbon feedstock for the biofuel industry.

Terviva’s pongamia trees have been developed over 15 years of research trials and have shown promising results, producing three or more metric tons of beans per acre with high oil content. The oil extracted from these beans can be converted into biodiesel, renewable diesel, or sustainable aviation fuel, offering a lower-carbon alternative to traditional fossil fuels.

Pongamia is a regenerative tree crop that has a positive impact on the environment. It is resilient and can thrive with erratic water access and can tolerate extreme heat. Additionally, pongamia’s nitrogen-fixing properties enrich soils, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers. The partnership between Chevron Renewable Energy Group and Terviva is expected to drive the growth of the biofuel industry by increasing the availability of lower-carbon feedstocks.

Should I put my money in Artificial Intelligence?

Marc’s been a trader, stockbroker, and analyst. He was the head of the options department at a major brokerage firm and is a sought-after expert for CNBC, Fox Business, Barron’s, and Yahoo! Finance…
