Electric Power Generation Infrastructure Market - Global Industry Analysis and Forecast 2014 – 2020

Surge in economic development after the recession has led to the growth in power infrastructure development activities. Supportive nature of government policies, concerns related to energy security, increase in population is the major factors that have fuelled the electric power generation market. Many new thermal, hydro, solar and wind related power generation projects have started as countries are looking to boost their generation capacities in order to satisfy the energy demand. Stringent government regulations advocating the use of renewable energy is another factor that has boosted the development of global power generation infrastructure. Decline in per watt cost of generation coupled with the provision of bonuses and subsidies on use of renewable energy have played a significant role in power generation infrastructure market. Beside the renewable sources the easy availability of fossil fuel in the market has also driven the power generation infrastructure market. Countries are now engaged in importing fossil fuels such as coal, crude oil and natural gas to feed their power plants.
The segmentation of the electric power generation infrastructure market can be done on the basis of type of energy sources and geography. Power projects can be divided into either renewable energy based and non renewable energy based power projects. Renewable power projects utilize solar, wind, tidal, wave and geothermal energy to generate power. The clean power generation without any toxic emission is one the major advantage of using renewable sources. Moreover, being abundant in nature these resources can be utilized again and again without depletion. On the other non renewable power projects utilizes fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas to generate power.
The regional segmentation of the electric power generation infrastructure market include countries such as the United States, Canada and Mexico in North America. The increase in population coupled with the easy availability of fossil fuels is one of the major factors influencing the North American power infrastructure market. Moreover, govern support through tax rebates and subsidies have also affected the development of power infrastructure. European market includes countries such as Russia, Germany, the United Kingdom and France. Climate and energy targets decided by the European Union have led to the development of renewable energy based power projects in these regions. Asia Pacific region include countries such as China, India, Japan and South Korea. The Middle East and African region includes countries such as Saudi Arabia, Ira, Iraq, Nigeria, Egypt and Algeria. Easy availability of fossil fuel is on the major factor in the development of power infrastructure in this region. Rest of the World segment includes the Latin American countries such as Brazil, Argentina and Venezuela.
Increasing population and growing power demand, supportive government policies, concerns related to energy security are the major drivers for the electric power generation infrastructure market. High installation and operating costs and lack of grid infrastructure in some of the countries is the major restraint to the electric power generation infrastructure market. Increasing population along with the rapid industrialization can act as the opportunity for the companies in electric power generation infrastructure market.
Some of the major players in electric power generation infrastructure market includes companies such as Acciona, S.A., LANCO Group, Reliance Infrastructure, Tokyo Electric Power Company and GDF SUEZ S.A.
