Return on investment in RES has tripled compared to fossil fuels in the last decade, according to a study by the British Imperial College and the IEA.
As stated in this regard by Dr. Charles Donovan, director of the university’s Center for Climate Financing and Investment, said: “Our research shows that RES is more efficient than fossil fuels worldwide. That has been the case for ten years, yet overall investment is still lagging behind.”
The research focused on the performance of listed companies in the two industries with an emphasis on four categories: Global Markets, Developed Economies and China. In all portfolios, RES yielded significantly higher returns. Annual RES volatility was also lower in global and developed economies, but higher in China and emerging markets.
“The analysis reveals a better risk / return profile for RES portfolios both in typical conditions and during imbalances,” the researchers said.
