Abstract
In many countries renewable energy was originally driven by utilities, independent power producers, government entities or a combination of these. Renewable energy was seen as being on the fringes and not viable long term. The perspective has changed and now increasingly new entrants have emerged, in particular oil and gas companies. Why is this the case? Is it because they are redefining what it means to be an energy company? It is because it supports diversification? Is it because renewable energy is seen as a growth opportunity? Is to check the 'green' box? We’ll investigate the reasons that new entrants are emerging and what it means for the sector.
