Renewables doing well in this market ?
Does anyone have any insight on how renewable energy development is faring in this market ? For some reason I am seeing a ton of development roles for solar and wind companies. Do interest rates not have an effect on renewable energy development?
Based on the most helpful WSO content:
Renewable Energy Market Trends: The renewable energy market is currently experiencing significant growth and transformation. Energy storage is starting to come online, changing the way solar investments are viewed, particularly in capturing value from peak demand windows. Solar is trending towards smaller, decentralized projects, which can reduce the need for extensive transmission infrastructure.
State-Level Policies and Technology: More state-level policies are creating new markets, and technological improvements are driving the sector forward. This makes it an exciting time to be a renewable energy professional.
Capital Providers: Generally, risk-averse capital providers are becoming more open to merchant-esque structures, as opposed to traditional Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), which opens up new opportunities.
Interest Rates: While the context does not directly address the impact of interest rates on renewable energy development, it suggests that the sector is thriving due to policy support and technological advancements. This implies that other factors may be mitigating the potential negative effects of higher interest rates.

Part of this is likely due to tax law changes. The additional tax credits and other favorable changes likely help to offset such market changes.
Also, many utilities are basically forced to use clean energy and to expand such use. Especially when the end-user is charged through a regulated construct, many market forces are far less important than in less-regulated industries. If the utility purchasing the energy is able to sell the energy at a 10% net margin pretty much regardless of the cost to the utility, market-wide impacts such as interest rates are far less important.
This isn't to say that factors like interest rate don't impact renewable development, just that there are other factors that could be negating such negative impacts.
