The research service, titled 'Utility-scale Wind turbine Technology Options and Pricing in Africa,' gives the reader an overview of the various wind turbine technology options available from several of the largest international wind turbine suppliers, as well as the applicability of these wind turbines to various wind conditions, defined by the IEC...

The western European steam and gas turbines market witnessed an all-time low during 2009-2010; however, it is expected to recover in the medium-to-long term despite the uncertainties pertaining to carbon trading, legislations in the electricity sector and imminent rises in commodity prices. Orders placed with manufacturers during the buoyant market...

Offshore wind is expected to become a long-term growth engine for the wind industry in Europe as suitable onshore sites become increasingly hard to find, especially in the well-developed wind power markets such as Germany and Denmark. Conventional offshore wind technology, however, is restricted to shallow waters of above 30m at present and potenti...

Small wind industry in Europe has not developed to the same extent as large-scale wind industry due to a number of reasons, such as lack of government support and micro-generation polices in most of the countries, technical and performance issues, lengthy authorisation and permitting processes and high initial investment. Where at least some gover...

The research service investigates growth in the installed capacity, number, and revenue earnings of steam turbines within Sub-Sahara African for the period 2007 to 2014, as well as the key challenges, drivers and restraints manipulating market movements. A market share and competitor profiling analysis was also conducted in order to ascertain compe...

Africa has access to various gas reserves and yet it remains a highly under utilised electricity generation feedstock - mainly as a result of poor distribution infrastructure. However, advances are being made to improve the utilisation of gas as an important feedstock in Africa. This research service looks at how end-users of gas turbine technology...

To date, more than 96% of the installed wind capacity is installed in North Africa. However, the announcement of the renewable energy feed in tariff in South Africa is attracting interest in the large wind turbine market in this region. In East and West Africa, regular power outages caused by rising electricity demand and dependency on single feeds...

The gas turbine market in Sub Saharan Africa poised for high growth in the medium to long term. The region is executing significant projects to increase its additional electricity generation capacity so as to meet the rising demand. Sub Saharan Africa is expected to add at least 189 units, giving rise to atleast 12,000MW by 2014.
