The profitability of renewables remains a key concern, especially in comparison to traditional energy sources. As Bruno notes, "We will probably see investments still being highly scrutinized… So it will be all the more important for organizations to have a clear understanding of what value it will bring."

Exploring new revenue streams, such as retail media networks for fuel retailers, is essential for diversifying income and ensuring long-term profitability.
