At this point, everyone knows that renewable energy is the future. There is no way around it. We are living unsustainably and need to make some big changes in regards to the ways we handle energy consumption and the type of energy that we use.

A few companies in the United Kingdom are getting ahead of the curve by providing innovative solutions and providing products and services that the market is ripe for. Not only are these businesses doing the right thing for the planet, but they are also becoming quite profitable.

Now three of these businesses are publicly trading and you can buy stocks. If you have money to invest, you can do so in a way that will likely pay off big in the future. Here are the three companies that you can invest in.

EQTEC

EQTEC is a company that is innovating and changing the way we are thinking about waste, energy, and climate change. The waste-to-energy specialists have been making big strides to use waste gasification to produce energy, and they have been quite successful. The firm has implemented various capital-saving initiatives to reduce annuals costs by about 30 percent. Not to mention that their revenue more than doubled in the first half of this year’s trading. These cash-saving moves include salary reductions for management.

They have been so successful with their gasification process of waste materials, but also because they have begun working with governments and infrastructure companies to turn waste into energy. For example, the company has begun working with Metroplotians de Barcelona (TMB), the main transport operator in Barcelona, Spain. EQTEC was tendered for the project earlier this year and have been assigned the task of overhauling engine cogeneration in Horta Station in Barcelona. In addition, they will have a second project at Triangle Station and the city as well as contractual maintenance responsibilities.

Good Energy Group

The Good Energy Group began all the way back in 1999 with the plan to tackle issues surrounding climate change. They have not stopped. According to the specialists at the site MoneyPug, which is known for being a site to find the cheapest energy supplier, the company is a 100 percent renewable electricity provider and is moving into supplying chargers to electric vehicles and working with technology companies to come up with innovative solutions to big problems.

Good Energy Group recently launched One Point, an electric vehicle charging technology that they launched with a pilot at the Watergate Bay Hotel in Cornwall. With these ports, the company is tapping into market demand. The number of electric cars set to go over 1 million in 2022, and there will need to be many more charge points in parking lots. This will amount to three percent of road traffic, which doesn’t seem like much. But accounting for how few charge ports there are, three in 100 is actually a lot of spaces that need EV ports.

PVCS

PVCS is a solar company that is doing a very good job of keeping their finances robust and cash on hand. They have been able to sustain such financial health because they are one of the only solar companies trading on the stock market. They aren’t the only solar business, of course. But many solar companies aren’t yet on the stock market. After all, solar is a completely necessary method of producing energy in the modern world. We need to transition into renewable sources of power, and PVCS seems to recognize this. The company is leveraging the importance of their product and using the stock market to keep cash flow and revenue up. For those looking to invest in solar, look no further than PVCS.

Renewable energy isn’t just the right thing, it is the mandatory thing. Anything mandatory will become very profitable, especially when it comes to an existential issue like climate change. These companies seem to realize that doing the right thing can make a lot of money. By taking their innovation to the stock market, people have responded. Only time will tell if these are the companies that will stay on top, but either way the time to invest in green energy is now.
