After five years of buzz and excitement, 2023 has become somewhat of a reality check for the hydrogen industry. The volume of final investment decisions (FIDs) for projects has been low as financing costs and associated project scrutiny have increased. The results from utilizing hydrogen in some sectors have proved disappointing, with projected cos...

Germany was an early leader in renewable energy; although its pace has slowed, the country still continues to make significant investment in new wind and solar capacity. This investment must be supported by investment in new grid interconnections to ensure that the electricity generated is used and not wasted. Austria has also followed Germany's le...

2023 was a record-breaking year for power generation investment, with $864.6 billion committed to global projects. Climate obligations and supportive regulations are the mainstays of global growth. While China has significantly increased its renewable targets in recent years (partly to support domestic technology companies), the US' Inflation Reduc...

This analysis assesses the power and energy market in Asia-Pacific. The primary focus is power generation, but grids, energy storage, hydrogen, and the role of fossils are included in the trends section. Asia-Pacific encompasses diverse countries, from highly developed economies, such as South Korea and Japan, to under-developed ones such as Lao...

Pressure to reduce costs, improve revenues, and become more competitive has prompted investor-owned utilities to utilize outsourcing transmission and distribution (T&D) services. Recent winter storms, which hit the states between 2012 and 2013, prompted utilities to invest rugged T&D infrastructure. Furthermore, the addition of renewable power on t...

A gas insulated switchgear (GIS), typically housed in a high voltage substation, is a critical component in the substations of the transmission network of utilities or in energy-intensive industrial units. In general, GIS structures are contained in a metal-sealed environment with sulfur hexafluoride gas (SF6) as the insulating medium. A GIS’s basi...

This study examines the global power cables industry, analyzing demand drivers, growth trends, and competitive dynamics. Key drivers identified in the study include the continued growth in renewable electricity generation (particularly offshore wind), the aging nature of infrastructure in developed economies, the rise of inter-regional transmission...

Renewable energy deployment is experiencing accelerated growth. Global investment in power generation reached a record high of $961.45 billion in 2024, up from $856.14 billion in 2023. The renewable energy sector led this investment surge, with solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy accounting for $589.74 billion. Solar and wind energy demand is i...

Enclosures are used across a range of end-user sectors. The development of end-users directly affects enclosure demand. In Australia and New Zealand, market revenue declined between 2012 and 2014 due to reduced capital expenditure in key end-user sectors such as power, utilities, and mining. Revenue will return to normalized growth in 2015, driven ...
