In the high-emissions scenario, the inverted price dynamics elevate gas to 16 GW of annual deployments and suppress clean energy construction to just 3 GW per year. Tailwinds for clean energy Rhodium’s findings square with what I’ve heard while interviewing clean energy professionals: There’s a ton of building to do in the next four years, but anything beyond that is too far off to predict. In the meantime, there are a few reasons to be optimistic that clean energy will avoid the worst-case scenario. The country has been shipping more and more of its natural gas overseas via liquefied natural gas terminals. Another source of hope for the clean energy contingent is that the modeling may underestimate how fast battery storage will reshape the power sector.
