High fossil fuel prices are biting, and a UN trade agency now expects global economic growth of 2.6% in 2026 partly because of the energy shock from the Middle East crisis. That keeps attention on power sources that are not hostage to oil routes or refinery outages. For investors, that opens a window to companies building solar, wind, hydro and tidal projects. This article highlights three stocks from that group.
The three stocks below are only a small sample, and the full screen surfaced another 213 renewable energy companies with equally detailed stories that are not covered here. If you want to go broader and compare more options side by side, head straight into the Renewable (solar, wind, hydro or tidal) Energy screener to identify, filter and analyze your own highest conviction ideas.
Solaria Energía y Medio Ambiente (BME:SLR)
Overview:Solaria Energía y Medio Ambiente develops, owns, and operates large-scale solar photovoltaic power plants across Southern Europe and Latin America.
Operations:Solaria Energía y Medio Ambiente generates most of its revenue in Spain at about €251.9 million, with smaller contributions from Italy and Uruguay.
Market Cap:€2.1b
Solaria Energía y Medio Ambiente matters in this screener because it is not just producing solar power; it is building out long-lived infrastructure that anchors real-world electricity supply for utilities, data centers and other large users.
"Solaria is positioning itself as an integrated infrastructure provider combining solar generation, battery storage and energy supply for data centers."
The real test for Solaria will come from how one unresolved funding and cash conversion pressure feeds through to future pricing power and margins.
Those cash and funding questions are exactly what the full narrative for Solaria Energía y Medio Ambiente unpacks, including where Solaria Energía y Medio Ambiente could accelerate or stall as projects scale.
Grenergy Renovables (BME:GRE)
Overview:Grenergy Renovables develops, builds, operates, and sells large solar and wind power projects, plus linked battery storage platforms across multiple regions.
Operations:Grenergy Renovables generates about €1.14b from Development & Construction, €80.8 million from Energy, €71.3 million from Commercialization, and €4.8 million from Services, with revenue mainly from Chile at €1.22b and smaller contributions across Spain, Colombia, Mexico, Argentina, Peru, and other markets.
Market Cap:€2.0b
Grenergy Renovables matters in this screener because it is not just building wind and solar farms; it is wiring in large scale storage that can reshape when renewable electricity earns its money.
"Rapid scale up of large hybrid PV plus storage platforms in Chile, including Oasis of Atacama and Central Oasis, is described as converting today's heavy CapEx into recurring energy EBITDA as new gigawatt hours come online and operate increasingly on higher price night-time curves."
What happens to future returns depends on how one evolving revenue layer interacts with that growing pipeline of long duration assets.
That hinges on whether this project-heavy model really converts into resilient cash generation, which is exactly what the full narrative for Grenergy Renovables unpacks. It includes how pipeline, pricing and risks could be decoupling.
EDP Renewables (ENXTLS:EDPR)
Overview:EDP Renewables plans, builds and runs large wind and solar power plants across Europe, the Americas and Asia-Pacific.
Operations:EDP Renewables generates about €1 billion in North America, €952 million in Europe and €145 million in APAC, with smaller adjustments.
Market Cap:€13.1b
EDP Renewables matters for this renewable energy screen because it is directly responsible for designing and operating the utility scale wind and solar assets that feed clean electricity into major grids worldwide.
"Contracted growth is already largely lined up, with 1.5 gigawatts of 2026 capacity additions secured and around 80% under construction, plus 2.8 gigawatts of projects contracted for 2026 to 2028, which can support future revenue visibility and help smooth earnings."
The real swing factor for EDP Renewables now is how one pressure in its funding model shapes future project returns and earnings resilience.
That funding pressure is exactly where the full narrative for EDP Renewables maps how contracted capacity, capital intensity and policy risk could be accelerating or quietly capping EDP Renewables' long term potential.
