My colleagues at Energy Central asked me to participate in the title predictions. After considering this, I offered to review three areas where I post frequently, and consider myself qualified. These areas are:
- U.S. growth in electric vehicle (EV) deployments
- U.S. progress in transitioning to fossil-fueled generation to utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) and battery energy storage systems (BESS)
- Deployment of the first large-scale offshore wind projects.
I track all of the above with posts on a regular basis, so, in general I will follow this process:
- I will start with trends from 2021 posts
- I will look at other factors that could accelerate or decelerate growth
- Make projections on growth for the next few years in the above markets.
