Power Industry 2022 Trends & Predictions

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.
