The energy transition has received an unexpected boost from the United States. Against restrictive forecasts, the Trump administration finally published the rules that define access for clean energy projects to tax credits. The outcome was surprising: far more lenient regulation than anticipated. What many expected to be a regulatory maze turned out to look more like a beginner’s sudoku.
The impact was quickly felt in Europe. Vestas Wind Systems A/S (CPH:VWS), a leader in wind turbines, experienced its best trading day since July 2022, soaring 18%. Optimism spread to other sector giants such as Siemens Energy AG (ETR:ENR) and GE Vernova, the renewables division of General Electric (NYSE:GE), which now see a clearer path ahead for rising orders.
U.S. Flexes, Europe Accelerates
In Europe, the development of clean energy has been driven by ambitious climate targets and a favorable regulatory environment, albeit with bureaucratic hurdles in permitting and grid connections. The U.S. decision—ironically under a government traditionally skeptical of green policies—puts the country in a competitive position: attractive tax credits, greater legal certainty for investors, and a framework that could draw European capital stateside.
Europe, however, still holds the advantage in industrial expertise and value chains. Manufacturers such as Vestas and Siemens Gamesa have spent years consolidating their global leadership. The new U.S. framework does not erase that advantage but does level the playing field, with transatlantic companies set to be the main beneficiaries.
Market Outlook
From a technical standpoint, Vestas is in a buying frenzy after breaking key resistance at 170 Danish crowns, with short-term potential to test 185. Siemens Energy, still grappling with financial issues, could use the momentum to stabilize above €20, while GE Vernova gains visibility within General Electric, whose immediate support stands at $147.
Siemens Energy Analysis
Advantage Regained with U.S. Support
Siemens Energy reported record orders of €16.6 billion in the second quarter alone, with a backlog reaching €136 billion, driven by strong U.S. demand, especially for data center power plants. Revenue rose 13.5% to €9.7 billion, while net profit hit €697 million, compared to a loss the year prior. Despite a €100 million tariff headwind, the company expects to reach the upper range of its guidance (13–15% sales growth, margin before special items at 4–6%), showcasing solid recovery and increasing investor confidence.
Medium-Term Bullish Trend
From a technical perspective, the trend since April has been bullish, supported by a golden cross that pushed prices to late-July highs, retested in early August. The price currently sits on the 100-day moving average, having lost the 50-day support. RSI is at 47.05%, and MACD shows a corrective move with the histogram trending downward into negative territory. Average volume holds at 1.95M. The strongest bearish pressure aligns with the Point of Control (POC) at €50.50, while bullish pressure zones coincide with the consolidation range between €104.85 and €82.34. The key level to watch is above €100: a breakout would confirm stronger upside momentum. Failure to hold current levels could see supports tested at €76.54 and €62.96.
Tailwind Effect
The renewed tailwind from the U.S. marks a significant shift: the energy transition is no longer a solely European effort but a global race where regulatory flexibility can accelerate investment. If Europe sustains its technological leadership while the U.S. offers a more attractive fiscal framework, the renewable sector may enter a new phase of synchronized growth on both sides of the Atlantic.
