5 Booming Clean Energy Stocks for 2026

It was supposed to be a poor year for the clean energy sector in 2025. Rising interest rates and stubborn inflation were driving up equipment and parts costs, and the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) eliminated many federal subsidies for solar and wind energy projects.

But despite facing headwinds from multiple directions, the clean energy sector thrived in 2025, and solar stocks were among some of the biggest winners.

The clean energy rally isn’t slowing in 2026 either, as AI data centers continue to demand increasing power.

Today, we’ll look at five booming clean energy stocks with more upside ahead.

Clearway Energy Group

Clearway Energy Group (NYSE:CWEN) is a diversified clean energy company with a portfolio of assets spanning geothermal, wind, solar, and hydroelectric facilities. A diversified set of operations helps protect the company from regulatory headwinds and provides versatility in partnering with a wide range of clients.

Clearway is generally considered an income play due to its high payout and predictable revenue, but the stock’s upward momentum has considerable strength as well. A brief pullback ended in January, when the stock crossed above the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator had a bullish crossover.

With strong upward momentum and a healthy dividend, Clearway provides the best of both worlds right now, but investors will need to keep an eye on the Relative Strength Index (RSI) now that it’s above the Overbought threshold of 70. Plus, there’s a catalyst on the horizon when the company reports Q4 2025 earnings on February 23.

NextPower Inc.

NextPower also announced $350 million in share buybacks, prompting several analysts to raise their price targets following a series of positive developments. UBS raised its price target to a Street-high $140, representing more than 20% upside from the current market price.

Bloom Energy Corp.

The company’s fuel cell systems have become critical in the AI industry’s data center buildup, and its backlog now exceeds $20 billion. Oracle and Brookfield Asset Management have entered into agreements with Bloom, and management increased 2026 guidance to $3.3 billion following its Q4 2025 report.

Ormat Technologies Inc.

The stock struck a new all-time high on February 3, finally surpassing the previous high set back in 2021. Following a brief stint in Overbought territory, the stock has pulled back to the 50-day SMA, which has been a sturdy support beam during the uptrend. With the RSI now back to normal levels, a bounce off the 50-day SMA becomes increasingly likely from here.

Shoals Technologies Group Inc.

Despite the revenue beat, the stock dropped nearly 20% following the report, falling below the 50-day SMA for the first time since August. SHLS shares have slowly clawed back these gains, and the 50-day SMA could once again act as support. The next catalyst is the Q4 2025 earnings release on February 24, and the stock is likely to trade in a tight range until then, which offers opportunities for new investors to build positions.
