<div id="readability-page-1">From traditional energy sources like natural gas and oil to newer alternatives like hydrogen and solar, the energy sector has evolved massively over the years. Yet, there is something unchanged — energy is still at the core of our daily lives. Without energy, barely anything could function. It plays a critical role in every method of transportation possible, from millions of vehicles on the road to planes used for domestic and international travel. The energy sector depends largely on government policies, thus the upcoming election is crucial in forming the guidelines and the direction for energy companies. The progressives will continue to push for an aggressive transition to a renewable energy agenda. At the same time, the conservatives plan to roll back the current green policies enacted under the Biden administration. However, strong energy companies with growth catalysts and strong financials will sail through regardless of the election results. Below are the three best energy stocks to buy in August 2024. <h2>Quanta Services (PWR)</h2> <div id="2098121"><img src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://investorplace.com/wp-content/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gif?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" width="300" height="169" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://investorplace.com/wp-content/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gif"/>Source: Pand P Studio / Shutterstock.com</div>Quanta Services (NYSE:PWR) is a great option for investors looking for growth energy stocks. For those who are unfamiliar, Quanta Services is an American company that provides infrastructure solutions to the energy industry in the country. The company has built the biggest craft labor force in the U.S. and is still expected to keep growing. Quanta Services has a consistent pattern of top-notch financials. Quanta has been delivering double-digit growth nearly with every quarter financials release, and the second quarter ending on June 30 was just that. In Q2 FY2024, the company reached revenues of $5.59 billion, a 10.8% increase year-over-year, not to mention that its margin has also improved. Moreover, Quanta Services’ EPS is projected to reach 20% growth in 2024, beating the industry average of 10%. The successful journey of Quanta Services will continue, and investors should get on the train before it is too late. <h2>NextEra Energy (NEE)</h2> <div id="2998546"><img src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://investorplace.com/wp-content/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gif?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" width="300" height="169" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://investorplace.com/wp-content/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gif"/>Source: T. Schneider / Shutterstock.com</div>If you have been following me for a while now, I first made my buy recommendation for NextEra Energy (NYSE:NEE) on April 15 of this year. Since then, the stock is up more than 20% as of writing, and I am still bullish on NextEra Energy. NextEra Energy is the largest electric utility company in the United States, with many growth catalysts. Florida Power &amp; Light, a subsidiary of NEE focused on renewable energy, experienced a $80 million increase in net income. This is true, especially considering it is a renewable energy company, and the market will most certainly see the Fed on its interest rate cut journey begin as soon as the September meeting. In terms of finances, NEE beat the expected earnings in the second quarter by $0.06 at $0.96 earnings per share (EPS). Investors should not only get excited about the future of NextEra Energy with upcoming rate cuts but also invest in the stock as soon as possible. <h2>Canadian Solar (CSIQ)</h2> <div id="2636194"><img src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://investorplace.com/wp-content/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gif?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" width="300" height="169" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://investorplace.com/wp-content/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gif"/>Source: rafapress / Shutterstock.com</div>The last stock making the list is Canadian Solar (NASDAQ:CSIQ). As of writing, the stock is down over 45% this year alone and nearly 60% from the previous year. This is because the solar company experienced three consecutive quarters of revenue decline. This presents a great buying opportunity, considering how undervalued the stock looks at the moment. The price-to-earnings ratio has corrected itself to 4.90x, which comes at a much-discounted price compared to the industry average. The forward P/E is 6, making it more competitive than most of the solar companies. Earlier this year, Canadian Solar secured $160 million in funds to finance the Bayou Galion solar project in Northeast Louisiana. The completion of this project will strengthen Canadian Solar’s position in the market. Now is a great time to bet on Canadian Solar’s future, and investors should not miss out on this amazing opportunity.
