Investors are Taking Interest in Copper Cables as
Post# of 53
The global transition to green energy is creating new opportunities and markets for copper cable manufacturers and a growing number of investors. Although copper cables will play a critical role in the green transition, they don’t get as much attention as some of the other equally crucial ‘green metals’ that will be integral to the transition.
However, some savvy investors have noted the red metal’s potential, particularly as conductors in renewable energy infrastructure, and began investing accordingly. Broadly speaking, the transition to renewable energy will involve two different elements; generating clean energy and transmitting this energy to households and businesses.
Electric grids have to be upgraded to ensure they can handle the extra capacity coming from wind and solar farms and transmit it to customers without overloading. As a result, there has been a notable surge in demand for copper conductors as dozens of green energy projects are launched worldwide every year. Rather than investing in wind or solar, some investors are putting their money into the copper cables and wires that will be key to ensuring green energy projects can sell their energy into the grid.
With grid connection backlogs keeping plenty of green energy projects offline as they wait for connection, copper is immensely crucial to ensuring the world’s growing capacity for renewable energy is utilized effectively. The world added close to 510 gigawatts of clean energy in 2023 alone, close to 50% of the global renewable energy capacity at the time, to bring the globe’s total green energy capacity to 3,870 GW.
Copper cables will be key to both grid infrastructure as well as wind and solar farms due to their impeccable transmission abilities. They can distribute energy from source to endpoint efficiently while their durability and conductivity allow copper cables to withstand the high currents from solar panels and wind turbines with relative ease.
Wind farms run copper cables from individual turbines to substations and then connect them to the main grid. Solar installations, on the other hand, use copper cables to connect photovoltaic solar panels to inverters and enable the conversion of direct current (DC) generated by the panels into alternating current (AC) as efficiently as possible.
Additionally, their reliability makes copper cables especially key to maintaining green energy systems, boosting efficiency, and reducing energy losses. Investors who add copper wiring and cables to their portfolio could potentially earn a significant return on investment once the green transition picks up speed and demand for copper skyrockets.
The rising demand isn’t surprising given the rate at which entities like Energy and Water Development Corp. (OTCQB: EAWD) are using copper cables while offering their services to clients implementing energy and water sustainability solutions.
