European Power Projects
Much of the future shape of the European power industry will be formed by surging investments in conventional projects.
This 152 page report covers over 350 natural gas, coal and oil-fired, hydro, nuclear, biofuel and waste gases power projects of 100 MW or more in all 15 western European member states of the European Union plus Norway and Switzerland. Key market trends are highlighted in 20 tables and 50 charts.
Report Structure
Chapter 1 – Project Market Context: this chapter presents the commercial framework of European power project development. First it covers historic and forecasted demand growth in national markets. Next it assesses future capacity requirements with reference to environmental policies, emissions trading, the decline of nuclear power and the rise of renewables, and corporate strategies. The latest system adequacy forecasts of regional system operators are also profiled. Next surging wholesale power and fuel prices and rising project costs are reviewed. The chapter concludes with a brief assessment of power generation costs.
Chapter 2 – Coverage Notes: this chapter provides an introduction to the report’s project market coverage. Research methods and caveats that readers may wish to keep in mind are also discussed.
Chapter 3 – Project Market Rankings: this chapter profiles the power project market as a whole. Projects already under construction and plans in earlier development are assessed at the geographic and project type levels. Expected capacity additions by year and market from projects in the building stage are shown. The chapter also ranks leading project developers.
Chapters 4-18 – Country Profiles: these chapters profile project business trends at the national market level and provide extensive information about the initiatives of individual developers.
The countries covered are Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the UK.
Each country profile chapter concludes with a table listing all projects under development. The tables provide the following information for each project:
The developer and any partners in projects backed by two or more investors
The site of the project or potential sites where more than one is under consideration
Planned capacity, including ranges where different options are under consideration
Plant type, including identification of combined heat and power (CHP) projects
The regulatory status of the project, ranging from full approval to projects where the regulatory process has not been initiated
The expected construction start-up and project completion dates, where available
The expected investment amount, where available
Information on construction status
Report Objectives
The report’s focus on risky conventional project development should make it useful for a wide range of readers. For example:
Project developers can track the advances, setbacks and plans for the future of their peers.
Energy and emissions traders can assess shifts in generation market balances over the coming years, ranging from capacity additions in single sectors of national markets all the way up to “big picture” international analysis.
Fuel suppliers will find detailed information about the roles of gas and coal in project markets.
Equipment suppliers, other project contractors and project financiers can gauge the scale of the market, including developers’ longer term plans.
Regulators and government officials can review competitive developments and projects’ potential contributions to system security and emissions reduction.
Consultants and other professional advisers can evaluate varying approaches to investment strategy at the company and market levels.
Industrial groups contemplating generation investments can assess the broad market, including projects under development by some of their peers.
