Particularly, countries like the United States, India and China are expected to see capacity growth in 2021.
As a result, along with Clearway Energy, other companies are undertaking measures to deliver clean energy and provide reliable services to its customers. Xcel Energy (XEL - Free Report) increased its investment plans to $24.3 billion from $23.5 billion in the 2021-2025 time period to reflect its $750 million worth of new investment in wind project.

If you’re looking for big gains, there couldn’t be a better time to get in on a young industry primed to skyrocket from $17.7 billion back in 2019 to an expected $73.6 billion by 2027.
After a clean sweep of 6 election referendums in 5 states, pot is now legal in 36 states plus D.C. Federal legalization is expected soon and that could be a still greater bonanza for investors. Even before the latest wave of legalization, Zacks Investment Research has recommended pot stocks that have shot up as high as +285.9%
