The EU taxonomy for sustainable activities and U.S. Inflation Reduction Act may give power generators in the EU and U.S. incentives to invest in low-carbon power. Installed capacity by generation source can help investors assess a power generator’s current portfolio. Capital expenditures can serve as a proxy for any plans to develop low-carbon power-generation capacity. This interactive chart shows both the proportion and absolute value of installed capacity, as well as the capital expenditure related to renewables, for 26 power-generating constituents of the MSCI ACWI Index.1
