ChatGPT, an AI chatbot product, is taking the world by storm. ChatGPT uses complex AI algorithms to read, analyze, learn and understand text. So I thought, let’s see what happens when we find investment opportunities in green energy with the help of ChatGPT.
Here’s what we asked ChatGPT:
“Which green energy projects have the potential to grow rapidly in the next few years?”
The beginning of that answer is:
“There are many green energy projects that are poised for significant growth over the next few years as demand for renewable energy sources increases. Some examples include:”
To see the green energy investment opportunities offered by ChatGPT, you need to read further. Also, no specific stock recommendations were given, so I decided to provide some liberally. Below are some of the promising green energy sectors identified by ChatGPT and some stocks within those sectors that I have selected.
| Enf | enphase energy | $245 |
| FSLR | first solar | $180.45 |
| GE | general electric | $80.08 |
| BEP | Brookfield Renewable | $28.48 |
| EBR | Power plant | $8.17 |
| CVX | chevron | $177.56 |
| GEVO | Gebo | $2.06 |
Solar power

ChatGPT commented:
“Solar power: Solar energy is a clean, abundant and renewable resource that has the potential to meet a significant portion of the world’s energy needs. It is efficient and cost effective.”
Here are two solar stocks to consider:
enphase energy (Nasdaq:Enf) provides products and services that address one of the key issues required for mainstream solar reception. Specifically, its microinverter technology captures direct current (DC) converts the power from the solar panel into alternating current (Alternating current) power stored in a battery for later use. As a result, microinverters allow us to use solar energy when the sun is not shining. ENPH also sells batteries that help achieve that function as well.
Analysts’ average price target for ENPH stock is $327.32, well above Friday’s close of $245.83.
first solar (Nasdaq:FSLR) is a manufacturer of solar panels in the United States. The company also provides support and maintenance services for utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) power plants. FSLR is expected to benefit meaningfully from climate and energy legislation passed last year, and the company says it will ramp up manufacturing capacity in the United States.
FSLR stock currently has a pretty high price/earnings ratio of 42x. Going forward, however, we expect the company to generate solid growth that justifies its premium rating.
Opportunity #2: Wind Power
ChatGPT commented:
“Wind power: Wind power is another clean, renewable resource that has the potential to make a significant contribution to the world’s energy needs. Wind turbines are used to generate electricity on both large and small scales. We can, and the technology will continue to improve and become more cost-effective.”
Here are two wind farms to consider:
general electric (New York Stock Exchange:GE) – In 2020, GE wind turbines accounted for 53% of the US base installed. The company plans to combine its GE Renewable Energy, GE Power and GE Digital divisions into one of his business units, GE Vernova, and plans to spin off from GE in early 2024.
To take advantage of this spinoff, investors must invest in GE stock. On Friday, he closed at $80.20, while analysts’ average price target is at $91.91 for him.
Brookfield Renewable Partners (New York Stock Exchange:BEP) – BEP is not a wind power monopoly, but when it comes to clean energy, Brookfield Renewable Partners is one of the best stocks to own. The company owns solar, hydro and wind power projects.
BEP stock is currently trading in line with analysts’ average price targets. But analysts’ bullish forecasts for the company’s earnings and revenue growth over the next five years show that the company’s stock will rise in the meantime.
Opportunity #3: Hydropower

ChatGPT commented:
“Hydropower: Hydroelectric power is a reliable and renewable source of energy that is produced using the energy of falling water. Hydroelectric power plants can be built on a small or large scale and are There are many potential locations for new projects in
Brookfield Renewable Partners is a viable option in this category.But another strain to consider is Power plant Eletrobras in Brazil (New York Stock Exchange:EBR). Power plant offers investors the opportunity to invest in a company that operates 48 hydroelectric power plants in Brazil on several major rivers.
However, like solar and wind power, hydropower is weather dependent as it can be compromised by drought. This issue adds an element of risk to hydropower stocks.
EBR stock is currently trading about 50% below the average analyst price target.
Opportunity #4: Geothermal Energy

ChatGPT commented:
“Geothermal Energy: Geothermal energy is a clean, renewable resource produced by harnessing heat from the earth’s core. Geothermal power plants can be built on a small or large scale and this technology It is particularly well suited for providing reliable baseload power.”
My choices in this area are chevron (New York Stock Exchange:CVX). The company is best known for being one of the world’s leading oil producers. But like many traditional oil companies, Chevron has made deliberate efforts to reduce its dependence on carbon. The company is becoming one of the leading exporters of liquefied natural gas (liquefied natural gas).And, specializing in geothermal energy, the company has partnered with base load capital To find a site where you can start a geothermal business.
Investors should remember that CVX shares are still valued primarily as oil stocks. That said, Chevron is a low-risk way to gain exposure to geothermal energy, one of the most important green energy investment opportunities of the next 20 years.
Opportunity #5: Biomass Energy

ChatGPT commented:
“Biomass energy: Biomass energy is produced by burning organic matter such as wood and agricultural waste to generate electricity. Biomass energy could provide a significant portion of the world’s energy needs, replacing fossil fuels Replacing it will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.”
Among the biomass stocks, I chose Gebo (Nasdaq:GEVO), risky small-cap companies. However, small caps historically perform best at the end of a bear market.
GEVO’s claim to being one of the best green energy investment opportunities is that it has patented technology that it uses to produce relatively inexpensive biofuels. Several airlines use or agree to use biofuels.
In addition to being a small cap, GEVO is also a penny stock that closed Friday at $2.08 per share. That price is well below the analyst’s average price target of $7.50.
As of the issue date, Chris Markoch held a long position in CVX stock. The opinions expressed in this article are those of the subject author of InvestorPlace.com. Publication guidelines.
