The UK economy is striving to switch power sources to renewables and attain net-zero emissions. Rising climate change concerns are emphasising the shift from carbon-based fossil fuels to clean energy alternatives. The large-scale decarbonisation of the economy will require huge investments to achieve net-zero targets by 2050. Renewable/clean/alternative energy sources will play a pivotal role in this transition.

However, industries across the country are focusing on transitioning to clean and renewable energy sources to minimise their carbon emissions. Rising investor interest in clean energy stocks is being propelled by the increasing emphasis on attaining net-zero emissions and decarbonisation of the economy.
