Q3 2023 Review

by Ron Pernick

Quarterly overview of stock index performance and the top trends impacting the state of clean tech.

In the just-released Enabling the Energy Transition 2023 and Water Infrastructure and Resiliency 2023 publications, Nasdaq and Clean Edge examine the major trends, opportunities, and challenges impacting the energy transition and water markets. Based on deployment growth, historical cost declines, environmental pressures, and a host of other factors, this is perhaps the most dynamic period since we began analyzing and researching the thematic clean-tech sector more than two decades ago. At the same time, higher interest rates (making the deployment of capital-intensive clean technologies more challenging in some sectors) and historically high fossil fuel prices (bolstering the oil and gas sector) have put pressure on some of the publicly traded companies that we track.
