News wire — Oil major Chevron Corp said on Thursday it was not planning large-scale investments in mature onshore wind or solar energy projects.
“This is a crowded space with low barriers to entry and quite frankly, low returns. We don’t have a competitive advantage in that space nor the full electricity value chain,” said Mark Nelson, member of Chevron’s executive committee, on a webcast addressing shareholders
Nelson added that the company would buy wind and solar power in support of its operations, but does not plan on producing.
