We recently compiled a list of the Energy Stocks that are Gaining This Week. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Golar LNG Limited (NASDAQ:GLNG) stands against the other energy stocks.
The American renewable energy sector has been growing at a staggering pace and the country brought online 48.2 gigawatts of capacity from utility-scale solar, wind, and battery storage last year, according to research organization Cleanview. Despite the utmost efforts by the Trump administration to hamper its growth, renewable energy is set to continue its momentum again this year. According to the US Energy Information Administration, the share of new power capacity that is expected to come online this year from renewables and batteries will jump to 93%.
One of the sectors that has recently performed exceptionally well is that of energy storage, which set a new record in 2024 with 12.3 GW of installations across all segments. According to the American Clean Power Association, the industry is on a path to surpass 100 GW of grid-scale storage deployed by 2030. One significant growth driver for the energy storage sector could be in the form of the ongoing AI boom and the data centers powering it. These facilities consume a vast amount of electricity, and battery energy storage systems offer a transformative solution for data centers looking to balance energy demand, sustainability, and resilience.
