HISTORY
The use of energy has been a key in the development of the human society by
helping it to control and adapt to the environment. Managing the use of energy is
inevitable in any functional society. In the industrialized world the development
of energy resources has become essential for agriculture, transportation, waste
collection, information technology, communications that have become
prerequisites of a developed society. The increasing use of energy since
the Industrial Revolution has also brought with it a number of serious problems,
some of which, such as global warming, present potentially grave risks to the
world.
What Is the Energy Sector?
The energy sector is a category of stocks that relate to
producing or supplying energy. The energy sector or industry
includes companies involved in the exploration and
development of oil or gas reserves, oil and gas drilling, and
refining. The energy industry also includes integrated power
utility companies such as renewable energy and coal.
Understanding the Energy Sector:
The energy sector is a large and all-encompassing term that describes a
complex and inter-related network of companies, directly and indirectly,
involved in the production and distribution of energy needed to power
the economy and facilitate the means of production and transportation.
The companies within the energy sector are involved in various types of
energy. For the most part, energy companies are often categorized based
on how the energy that they produce is sourced and will typically fall
into one-of-two categories: Renewable
Non-renewable
What Is Renewable Energy?
Renewable energy, often referred to as clean energy, comes from natural
sources or processes that are constantly replenished. For example, sunlight
or wind keep shining and blowing, even if their availability depends on time
and weather.
Types of Renewable Energy:
Solar Energy
Wind Energy
Biomass Energy
Hydroelectric Power
What is Non-renewable energy?
A non-renewable resource is a natural substance that is not replenished
with the speed at which it is consumed. It is a finite resource.
Fossil fuels such as oil, natural gas, and coal are examples of non-
renewable resources.
Mining Companies
Coal companies could be classified as energy companies since coal is used to power plants, including nuclear.
Renewable Energy
Clean energy has gained traction and investment dollars over the years and is likely to be a growing part of the energy
sector in the future. Examples of renewable energy include wind and solar.
Factors that Impact the Energy Sector
The energy sector is highly cyclical and sensitive to the macroeconomic
environment. The level of economic activities exerts a significant impact
on the demand for oil and gas. GDP, disposable income, employment,
new housing, and the industrial production index are some of the
macroeconomic drivers.
During expansion periods, an increasing amount of business activities
and production inflates the demand and price of oil. During recessions,
decreasing production level lowers the demand and price, and thus
weakens the sector.
MARKET CAPITALIZATION
Market capitalization refers to the total dollar market value of a company's outstanding shares of
stock. Commonly referred to as "market cap," it is calculated by multiplying the total number of a
company's outstanding shares by the current market price of one share.
RENEW POWER
renew Power Ventures operates as an independent power producer. The company engages in the generation
of non-conventional energy through solar and wind power. It sells its power to state electricity boards and
large industrial companies in India. It was founded in 2011 and commenced operations in 2012 with their
first project with a capacity of producing 25.20 MW from Jasdan, Gujarat. Renew Power has a capacity of
more than 8.65 GW of wind & solar power assets, of this, more than 5.44 GW is already operational across
the country. It plans to double its portfolio of running plants and projects under implementation to 10,000
MW in five years.
