www.visiongain.com/Report/646/The-Hydropower-Market-2011-2021
The world is currently facing two potentially contradictory
desires: that of increasing global energy supply to meet a growing
demand for energy; and that of tackling global warming by lowering
emissions of carbon dioxide. This situation creates an opportunity
for hydropower, which is a low-carbon energy source, capable of
supplying substantial quantities of power throughout the world.
Visiongain calculates the global hydropower market, defined as
spending on new hydropower projects plus spending on upgrades and
expansions, to be worth $56.51bn in 2011.
Hydropower is a key component of the energy industry, currently
contributing around one-sixth of all global electricity, but likely
to play an even more important role in the future of global energy
supply as the inevitable shift to renewable energy occurs. The
report offers an examination of the hydropower market over the next
decade, providing detailed market forecasts for each of the
regional markets and offering in-depth analysis of the
opportunities and challenges facing companies in the hydropower
market throughout the world.
The Hydropower Market 2011-2021 report includes 65 tables
and graphs quantifying, analysing and forecasting the hydropower
market in detail, and provides information on recently awarded
contracts in more than 50 national markets. In addition, the report
offers profiles of 50 of the leading companies within the
hydropower market.
The report also describes the most important technological
changes within the hydropower industry and assesses their
importance for the growth of the hydropower market over the
long-term. The various drivers and restraints of the hydropower
market are evaluated in order to provide readers with specific
insights into the future direction of the hydropower market.
Visiongain’s The Hydropower Market 2011-2021 reveals a
comprehensive analysis of the industry providing insight into the
regional growth areas and technological trends prevailing in the
industry. Forecasting and analysis are underpinned by extensive
consultation with expert opinion including transcripts of
interviews with Vattenfall; a leading European energy company and
Black & Veatch; a global engineering and construction
company.
This visiongain energy report will be valuable to those already
involved in the hydropower market and those wishing to enter this
important market in the future.
