ABI Research’s Smart Energy Metadata reveals the top renewable energy stats that the industry should be tracking in 2026. Our data breaks down clean energy capacity and utilization across all the key countries and regions: the United States, China, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Brazil, and many other countries and regions. Energy market research provides the insight needed for companies to fend off competitive threats and adapt to the latest industry trends.

Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are generating tremendous buzz in the energy sector as governments and enterprises look for alternatives to renewables. The verdict is out: renewable energy sources like solar and wind alone cannot take us to a net-zero world. Nuclear reactors provide a steady supply of clean energy regardless of whether the sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t howling. The energy sector must recognize both the advantages and disadvantages of SMRs before committing to any final plans.

As the leading smart energy conference for the energy transition, Enlit remains focused on how grid digitalization can accommodate a growing number of distributed energy sources, while addressing new consumption patterns and dynamics from Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations and data centers through increased grid flexibility and resilience.
