An ETF to Invest in The Renewable Electrification Megatrend

Why It Matters

As countries expand electricity transmission and storage, demand for batteries and their constituent metals is surging—creating investment opportunities across both technology providers and raw-material suppliers and exposing portfolios to a structurally growing segment of the energy transition.

Summary

The segment highlights two ETFs targeting the renewable electrification megatrend: ALPS Clean Energy ETF (ACES), which invests across seven North American renewable segments—wind, solar, storage (batteries), hydro, geothermal and related technologies—and USCF Sustainable Battery Metals Strategy Fund (ZSB), which focuses on raw materials used in battery storage. ACES aims to capture companies driving innovation across generation and storage, while ZSB provides targeted exposure to commodities like lithium, copper, nickel, aluminum and silver that feed battery supply chains. Speakers note record enterprise-level battery installations and accelerating global demand for storage, underpinning strong growth prospects for both clean-energy operators and battery metal suppliers. The funds offer complementary ways to play electrification: ACES on technology and services, ZSB on constrained upstream inputs.
