U.S. Energy Transition Is a Water Transition: Five Emerging Opportunities Influenced by an Evolving Power Sector

The U.S. energy transition is driving a transformative shift in power generation, moving from coal to natural gas and, more recently, accelerating the adoption of renewables like wind and solar. Emerging technologies such as hydrogen, battery storage, and a resurgence in nuclear power are expanding the portfolio of energy generation options.

The energy transition is, in essence, also a water transition, as the U.S. power sector remains one of the nation's largest water consumers. Driven by regulatory mandates, technological advances, and federal incentives like the Inflation Reduction Act, this shift is reshaping electricity generation and the sector's significant water footprint.

Bluefield Research's team of water experts has developed this Insight Report to illuminate the key factors influencing the U.S. power sector and uncover emerging growth opportunities within the water sector.
