In 2020 we saw the rise of the COVID-19 pandemic and the political, geopolitical, environmental, and economic obstacles it brought not only to the Renewable Energy industry, but to the world. In 2021, we’ve been pleasantly surprised by the resilience of our industry and its ability to continue to thrive despite these obstacles. Although there are many wins (like talk of a Clean Energy Led Recovery) we know 2021 was still equally challenging to 2020.
