Statement: Renewables Leader Says New Report On Renewables Growth Reflects Market Reality

DALLAS, April 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- A just-released report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (Irena) says global renewable generation capacity swelled last year by 167 gigawatts (GW) to reach 2,179 GW. News reports have called this an "unprecedented expansion," but Tri Global Energy says while the news is exciting, it isn't really that surprising.

"The good reports about the growth of renewables are relentless and appears to be building to a tipping point," says John Billingsley, Chairman and CEO of Tri Global Energy, the largest wind developer in Texas and Chairman and CEO of Sunfinity Solar, a solar provider of residential, C & I and utility-scale solar in Texas and California. "Turning to renewables for power generation is no longer only environmentally smart, it is economically smart as never before. Almost daily -- we see renewable power generation projects that can undercut fossil-fired electricity generation without financial support because costs for renewables have significantly dropped."

Billingsley says that the recent imposition of a tariff on imported solar tariffs and renewed political calls in support of fossil fuels aren't slowing the market demand for renewable energy. "Both companies, Tri Global Energy and Sunfinity Solar, have had record months for the first quarter of 2018, and we're anticipating the rest of the year to be our best yet."
