Global Diesel Generator Market Reached $2.9 Billion in 2013, Reveals New Report

The global diesel generator set (genset) market was valued at over $10.4 billion in 2013, increasing from $8.7 billion in 2006 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 2.5%. In the forecast period, the market is expected to continue to grow at a steady pace. The US, China and India are some of the major markets, and cumulatively account for more than half of the global diesel genset market. In the future, it is expected that China and India’s share will increase, while the US share is expected to decline, with China replacing it to gain the leading market position.

The diesel genset market faces stiff competition from gas gensets, which are being adopted by countries due to their low carbon emissions. However, diesel gensets are expected to continue to be more popular, due to their increased usage by the residential sector.

Global Diesel Generator Market to be Driven by India and China

India and China each face a considerable gap between their power supply and demand, creating attractive markets for diesel generator set (genset) manufacturers. High power deficits coupled with strong economic growth potential are the two strongest drivers for the diesel genset market in both India and China.

The genset market showed impressive growth in India and China between 2006 and 2013. Together, these countries accounted for 38.5% of the global genset’s market revenues in 2013. By 2020, these two countries are expected to account for 48.1% of the market’s global revenue.

Established Companies such as Caterpillar and Cummins Dominate the Diesel Generator Market

Established companies such as Caterpillar and Cummins dominate the global diesel genset market. Besides these established companies, the market for diesel gensets has several smaller companies operating locally. Prior experience, extensive distribution and maintenance networks, and understanding of local market conditions all represent advantages for these local companies. The market for small and medium gensets is the most competitive, especially in terms of pricing, as it has the greatest number of smaller companies operating within the segment. Moreover, there are many small-scale assemblers in the market that operate by importing the engines of international brands and assembling the genset locally.

Indian Nuclear Energy Market to Grow By 15% till 2020 Finds New Research Report by NOVONOUS

The overall market for nuclear energy in India is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.91% till FY2017-18 despite the prohibitive Civil Liability for Nuclear Damages Act. This growth is expected to be driven by the completion of 6 scheduled nuclear reactors and the commissioning of at least 10 new ones over the next 4-5 years, according to a detailed report by market research company NOVONOUS. The report contains in-depth review of the Indian nuclear energy sector, company profile and analysis, and recommendations for players involved in the sector.

Post the 2008 waiver by the 46-member Nuclear Suppliers Group, India looked ready for aggressive expansion of its nuclear power program. However, the much debated Civil Liability for Nuclear Damages Act enforced in November 2011, has resulted in hesitance from foreign companies in entering India. This is primarily due to uncertainty about the application or execution of the liability clause. The Act enables the enforcement of Rs 1500 Cr on nuclear plant operators, which can be passed on to the suppliers in a lawsuit. It has been argued that the liability passed on to the foreign suppliers is too less compared to the damages caused by nuclear power. Foreign companies on the other hand are unsure about whether the Act is retrospectively applicable or not.

However, the construction of the 4 indigenous 700 MW reactors at Kakrapar and Rawatbhata is on schedule. The 2nd plant at Kudankulam and the revolutionary Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam are due for completion in the next year. More importantly, the issues regarding the Act are being actively resolved by Nuclear Power Corporation of India, and the foreign collaborations are coming back on track. Clearances for the 2 new Russian collaboration reactors at Kudankulam have been granted, and the land acquisition for much delayed French collaboration nuclear power plant at Jaitapur is seeing progress. In addition to these, several new reactors have been scheduled for immediate commissioning till 2017-18 at Kovvada, Andhra Pradesh and Mithi Virdi, Gujarat. Thus, the nuclear energy capacity of the country is projected to reach 10 GW by 2017-18 and 15 GW by 2020-21.

United Kingdom Renewables Report Q3 2014, New Report Launched

Mixed messages continue to surface from the UK government about the future direction of the country's renewable energy policy and we believe a great deal rests on the outcome of the election in May 2015. Although we believe the UK is on its way to successfully meeting its renewable targets, the longerterm growth prospects of the industry remain in doubt. Confusion surrounding the new Energy Bill and the uncertain support mechanisms offered to renewable energy developers is likely to dampen investor interest in the market.

The UK has pledged to derive 15% of its energy from renewable sources by 2020; with a government target for the power sector of 30% renewables share, owing to slower progress in the heat and transport sectors. However, the post-2020 agenda is looking less clear after the European Commission (EC) announcement the proposed EU 2030 climate and energy targets in late-January 2014. It seems that the EC has not set a binding renewable energy target at the individual member states - something that the UK government will back after energy secretary Ed Davey labelled a target 'inflexible and unnecessary'.

Global Wind Power Market to Show Steady Growth despite Slump in 2013, Reveals New Report

Cumulative global wind power capacity increased from 74.5 Gigawatts (GW) in 2006 to 319.6 GW in 2013. Annual wind power installations slumped in 2013 due to a drop in installations in a few countries, but it is however expected to recover in 2014 and regain momentum during the 2014-2020 forecast period. Global cumulative wind power capacity was 322.5 GW at the end of 2013 and is expected to grow to 678.5 GW by 2020. Annual capacity additions saw a slight fall in 2010 and in 2013, which is expected to be repeated in 2015 and 2016 but not to affect overall industry growth. By 2020, the annual capacity addition is expected to grow to over 60 GW.

China overtook the US to become the largest wind power market in terms of annual capacity additions in 2009 and cumulative capacity in 2010 and has since become the global leader in both the manufacture and deployment of wind turbines. In 2013 it was the world's largest wind power market with an annual installed capacity of 16.5 GW, amounting to 45% of total global annual capacity additions, followed by Germany and the UK with much smaller shares of less than 10% each. India, Canada and the US also installed significant amounts of wind power, classed as more than 1 GW each.. The US and Spain's shares fell sharply compared to the previous year as annual capacity additions fell in both countries. The following figure shows key countries' shares of total annual installed wind power capacity in 2013.

The global market saw a major fall in annual capacity additions in 2013 due to a drop off in this area in the US and in Spain. In the US, the Production Tax Credit (PTC) expired on December 31, 2012, which saw many wind farm developers expediting construction and bring commissioning dates forward from 2013 to late 2012 in order to take advantage of the PTC. This led to a sharp fall in the number of wind farms commissioned in 2013 and a reduction in the number of wind towers installed that year. In Spain, the government suspended Feed-in Tariffs (FiTs) for wind power for 2013, which led to a very sharp fall in capacity additions to less than a fifth of the amount in the previous year. The number of towers installed in 2013 also dropped to similar levels.

Renewable Energy Market in India - An $83.35 Billion Opportunity by 2022, Reveals New Market Research Report by NOVONOUS

India has set a target of achieving overall renewable energy installed capacity of 41,400 MW by 2017 and 72,400 MW by 2022. As per NOVONOUS estimates, this creates an US$ 83.35 billion opportunity in the renewable energy market in India till 2022.

India has the worlds fifth-largest electricity generation capacity which currently stands at 243 GW. Renewable energy including large hydro constitutes for only 28.8% of overall installed capacity in India. The total renewable energy potential from various sources in India is 2,49,188 MW. India till 31st March 2014 has been able to achieve only 12.95% of its renewable energy potential. The untapped market potential for overall renewable energy in India is 216918.39 MW which shows huge growth potential for renewable energy in India.

For more information about this report please visit: RenewableEnergy Market in India

The power sector in India is highly diverse with varied commercial sources for power generation like coal, natural gas, hydro, oil and nuclear as well as unconventional sources of energy like solar, wind, bio-gas and agriculture. The demand for power has been growing at a rapid rate and overtaken the supply, leading to power shortages in spite of manifold growth in power generation over the years.

Focused efforts are going on to bridge this demand-supply gap by way of policy reforms, participation from private sector and development of the Ultra Mega Power Projects (UMPP). The power sector offers tremendous opportunities for investing companies due to the huge size of the market, growth potential and returns available on capital.

Industrialization, urbanization, population growth, economic growth, improvement in per capita consumption of electricity, depletion of coal reserve, increasing import of coal, crude oil and other energy sources and the rising concern over climate change have put India in a critical position. It has to take a tough stance to balance between economic development and environmental sustainability. One of the primary challenges for India would be to alter its existing energy mix which is dominated by coal to greater share of cleaner and sustainable sources of energy.

This report aims to provide information on key renewable technologies currently used in India which are:

Germany's Wind Energy Generation to Reach 899.15 TWh by 2023, Reveals New Report

We believe that the reform of Germany's Renewable Energy Act is aimed at controlling the expansion of renewable energy, and not a sign of any retrenchment in policy. Whilst rising electricity prices are likely to remain a contentious issue for the government, industry groups, utilities and public alike, we believe that it is unlikely that the German energy policy - to aggressively pursue renewable energy and phase-out nuclear - will be altered under the Merkel-led government. As such, we expect to see the continued adoption of renewable energy, in line with the government's targets, and do not believe that nuclear will be brought back on the table. The German renewables industry has grown at a phenomenal pace over the last few years as the country continues to push for an expansion of renewable energy in light of the post-Fukushima nuclear phase out. Focusing primarily on wind and solar power, the country has firmly established itself as the European bellwether for green energy and is currently the global leader for installed solar capacity. The government have established a target for electricity generation from renewable sources, aiming to expand renewables so that they contribute 35% to the total electricity generation in the country by 2020, and 80% by 2050.

Recent Updates

• Germany's federal shipping office, the Bundesamt für Seeschifffahrt und Hydrographie (BSH), released a network plan for the North Sea offshore region in February 2013, stating that 25 offshore converters and 3,800km of subsea cables will be needed to connect the planned wind installations.
• In March 2014, Vestas Wind Systems secured a contract to supply turbines for the 72.6MW Buergerwindpark Eider wind farm in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein.

Brazil's Biomass and Waste Energy Generation to Reach 42.48 TWh by 2017, Reveals New Report

The research is maintaining forecasts for non-hydropower renewable energy generation in Brazil this quarter as assumptions for the sector remain relevant. While there were a number of major developments in the sector over the second quarter of 2014, these developments are not likely to impact our near-term forecasts. Research do see several risks to long-term outlook, such as further delays to wind projects and increases in hydrocarbon production and hydropower generation.

The research is maintaining our 2014 forecasts for non-hydropower renewable energy generation in Brazil this quarter as our assumptions for the sector remain relevant. While there were a number of major developments in the sector over the second quarter of 2014, these developments are not likely to have any foreseeable impact on forecasts over the near-term.

The report also maintained long-term forecasts for non-hydropower renewable energy generation in Brazil in Q314. Research is forecasting non-hydropower renewable energy generation to grow an average of 6.8% per annum between 2014 and 2023. This will be primarily driven by growth in wind and biomass capacity.

Recent Updates

• The government has changed how it gauges capacity based on how much electricity can be guaranteed to be generated 90% of the time (versus 50% of the time under previous auctions).
• In March, wind energy developer Renova Energia was forced to postpone the launch of six of its wind farms with a combined capacity of 153MW as the federal utility Chesf had not completed construction of the substation.
• The Brazilian energy agency Empresa de Pesquisa Energética announced that it had designed a special contract for solar photovoltaic projects for the reserve energy tender (A5) to be held later in 2014. This new contract takes the deterioration of the equipment over time into account, which is likely to be positive for investors.

Canada's SolarEnergy Generation to Reach 72.16 TWh by 2023, Reveals New Report

Report has maintained forecasts for Canada's non-hydro renewables industry this quarter as fundamental assumptions of the market remain in place. The wealth of natural potential Canada has to generate renewable-sourced electricity generation is vast; and research have seen developments across the renewable energy segments, including marine, solar, wind and biomass. However, the lack of a national policy framework or subsidy scheme for renewables is likely to hinder the industry reaching its full potential.

Although coal and hydropower remain fundamental sources of power for Canada, the Canadian government aim to incorporate greater levels of renewables into the energy mix in order to reduce carbon emissions (reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 17% by 2020, from 2005 levels).

Trends And Developments

• It was announced in September 2013 that Canadian company Beothuk Energy plans to build an 180W offshore pilot project off the coast of Quebec, specifically in the Gulf of St Lawrence, at an estimated cost of US$228mn.
• Canada-based Northland Power entered the commissioning phase for its 60MW McLean's Mountain wind farm in Ontario. The project is supplied with GE turbines and expected to go online in May 2014. The scheme is equally owned by Northland Power along with Mnidoo Mnising Power.
• Due to the wealth of potential in the Bay of Fundy, Nova Scotia has stepped up efforts to exploit its marine renewables resources. It announced in January 2014 that the province had adopted new regulations for the tidal industry that will reportedly pave the way for project development across the region, including up to 20MW of trial tidal projects over the next seven years.
• In February 2014, Germany-based WPD started building the Whittington and Springwood wind projects in the Canadian province of Ontario. The wind farms, with a joint capacity of 14.35MW, will be equipped with seven units of Senvion MM92 turbines. Both projects are likely to be commissioned in Q414.

By 2017 China's Wind Energy aaccount for 2.7% of Total Electricity Generation, Reveals New Report

Report  has revised up forecasts for non-hydropower renewable energy in China this quarter. This is due to stronger-than-expected growth in solar capacity in 2013 and new solar capacity targets from the government. Our outlook remains sanguine because the combination of growing energy demand, worsening pollution, and continued support for renewable equipment manufacturers are still driving sector growth over the long-term. We also highlight that a lack of financing poses the main risk to our medium- to long-term outlook, following a period of misallocation of resources and associated build-up of unserviceable debt in the banking system. We have revised up our 2014 forecasts for non-hydropower renewable energy in China this quarter.

We are now forecasting 12.2GW of solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity to be installed in 2014 - up from our previous forecast of 8.5GW - and new wind and biomass installations with a combined total capacity of just under 7GW. Solar energy will maintain its dominance over the medium term as the government continues to support the sector through various policies and regulations. We note that the government is targeting at least 10GW of new solar capacity per year between 2013 and 2015, as implied by its target of 35GW of solar capacity by 2015.

Recent Developments

• The Chinese National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) introduced a number of revisions to the feed-in tariff (FiT) for solar energy on August 30 2013. Some changes include the introduction of a tariff for distributed solar projects, as well as a slight downward revision in the tariff for projects in areas rich in solar resources.
• The Chinese government raised solar capacity targets in July 2013 and now projects 35GW of solar capacity by 2015, up from 21GW previously The original target outlined in the country's 12th Five-Year plan was 5GW.
• In January 2013, Chinese energy chief Liu Tienan announced that China would double its pace of solar installations to install 10GW of solar capacity this year (as reported by the Financial Times).

Mexico's Total Non-Hydropower Renewable Generation to Reach 20.44 TWh by 2017, Reveals New Report

Our forecasts for the Mexican non-hydro renewables industry remain largely unchanged this quarter and we maintain our optimistic outlook. Numerous project announcements, particularly projects being developed by European utilities, are testament to the country's appeal. Furthermore, we believe increasing numbers of US companies will head over the border to develop projects in Mexico as higher power prices, cheaper land costs and robust growth potential draw investment.

Mexico's adoption of the 'General Law on Climate Change' in June 2012 set a target of boosting the renewable industry so that 35% of energy generated comes from alternative sources (including hydropower) by 2024 - an ambitious goal considering the prevalence of thermal energy in its power mix. However, progress has been made, and overall, we expect Mexico's non-hydro renewables industry to continue to expand robustly. Furthermore, we believe Mexico will maintain its position as a key renewable energy player in the Latin American region.

Recent Developments:

• In January 2014, Iberdrola Renewables expanded La Ventosa wind farm's generating capacity by 22MW in Mexico, raising the capacity to 102MW. The wind farm's grid connection and the 230kV transmission line were also upgraded under the expansion programme.
• Alstom secured a USD41.05mn contract in December 2013 to construct a 25MW geothermal plant in the Mexican state of Puebla. The Los Humeros III Phase A power plant contract was awarded by Mexican state-owned energy company CFE. The contract includes designing, operating and construction of the plant.
• In April 2014 Mexican cement company Cemex and Fisterra Energy completed the financing for a 252MW wind power complex, called Ventika, in the General Bravo unicipality of the country. The complex, worth about USD650mn, consists of two 126MW wind farms. Spanish utility Acciona's subsidiary Acciona Energia has been appointed to undertake the engineering, construction, operation and maintenance of the wind farm.
• US-based renewables energy company Vertex, in collaboration with its Mexican affiliate Vertex Ingenieros Consultores, announced in April 2014 it is installing the 30MW ZacSol 1 solar plant in the Mexican state of Zacatecas.

North and South America Renewable Energy Policy Handbook 2014, New Report Launched

Renewable Power Growth in the US and Canada Supported by Strong Local Policies :

The US and Canada are global leaders in renewable power generation. The growth momentum of their renewable industries has primarily been driven by the support mechanisms provided by federal and state governments. Although both countries have federal regulations in place for renewable industry, states and provinces with strong policy frameworks have been the leading contributors to installed capacity, and the pattern of development has largely been dependent on the support mechanisms provided. In the US, the growth of the renewable energy industry has been led by the state-level Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS), combined with other tax incentives and subsidies. California and Texas, which have been providing policy support to the renewable energy industry for more than a decade, are the leaders in renewable capacity in the US. The Canadian government is supporting renewable energy with its ecoEnergy program, and Ontario, with its comprehensive Feed-in Tariff (FiT) program, is the leading province in terms of renewable power capacity.

Extension of Production Tax Credit and Change in Clause to Stimulate US Wind Power Installations in the near Future :

The growth of the wind industry in the US has primarily been facilitated by the support mechanisms provided by the federal and state governments. The Production Tax Credit (PTC) is credited as being one of the most important policies in terms of driving the US wind power industry, and provides an income tax credit for facilities placed in service before the expiry date. Since its inception, the PTC has expired seven times, and each expiry has led to a sharp decline in annual installed capacity. In 2012, when the PTC was due to expire, the tax credit was extended for an additional year for wind power facilities. This extension also changed the scope of the projects that are eligible for PTC, meaning that all wind power projects for which construction had started by the end of 2013 would be eligible for PTC once the facility became operational. This change in the scope of eligibility stimulated the construction of a high number of projects by the end of 2013, and is expected to lead to increased annual wind power capacity over the next two to three years, in contrast with the decline observed when the PTC has expired in previous instances.

ecoEnergy Initiatives and Provincial Policies to Boost Renewable Energy in Canada :

Canada is a leading country in terms of the use of renewable energy resources for electricity generation and heating. In 2013, renewable energy, including small hydropower, accounted for 8.9% of its electricity generation. Wind power is the most prominent source of renewable energy, generating around 39% of Canada’s renewable total – including hydropower – in 2013. The Canadian government is using both ecoEnergy and FiTs to develop its renewable energy sector and promote the use of renewable energy in the country. ecoEnergy is an umbrella program that covers various federal incentives to promote renewable energy production. The government has invested approximately $5 billion in ecoEnergy initiatives to provide FiTs, fund renewable energy projects, finance technology initiatives, and support energy efficiency in various sectors.

Canada does not currently have a federal target in place for the production of power through renewable energy technologies, as the federal government has authorized each province to develop its renewable power markets individually, meaning each province has its own policy framework. The Ontario FiT program is the region’s first comprehensive price-guarantee system for renewable power generation, while the Renewable Energy Standard Offer Program (RESOP) and the sales tax rebate initiative are other programs supporting the development of the solar power market in Ontario. Additionally, net metering, which is offered in Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia and Nova Scotia, is also supporting solar power generation in Canada.

Mexico's National Energy Strategy to Drive Renewable Power Capacity :

Mexico possesses substantial reserves of coal, oil and gas, and its power sector is currently dominated by these sources, which jointly account for 70% of its power capacity. Renewable power capacity increased at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 9% between 2000 and 2013, increasing from 1.23 Gigawatts (GW) in 2000 to 3.85 GW in 2013. In 2012, the government introduced the National Energy Strategy, which established a roadmap for energy policies to be implemented over the next 15 years, and set a specific goal for the generation of 35% of electricity from non-fossil sources, in order to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. The target under this strategy also limits the share to be accounted for by generation from fossil fuel technologies to 60% by 2035 and 50% by 2050. The strategy is expected to encourage the use of renewable sources for power generation.
