Benchmarking of Wind with Solar Energy: Cost, Profit and Opportunity Benchmarking
Lucintel, Jan 2011, Pages: 171
Background:
Wind and solar are clean renewable energy resources available in abundance across all the regions. The business of generating electricity from wind and solar energy is growing and is poised for rapid expansion as the U.S, China and the rest of the world are looking for cleaner and more sustainable ways to generate electricity.
According to the Lucintel report, “Benchmarking of Wind with Solar Energy: Cost, Profit and Opportunity Benchmarking”, global wind production capacity is expected to reach 486 GW, solar photovoltaic (PV) 179 GW and solar thermal 22 GW by 2016 respectively. Despite the recent economic slowdown, energy demand is on the rise in Asian and other developing economies due to high industrial growth rate and greater usage of industrial goods in those regions. This report benchmarks wind energy with solar energy based on various parameters such as cost, profit, risk and opportunity.
Although, cost of generating electricity, easy availability of abundant raw materials and capacity factors have always encouraged the growth of conventional energy; environmental concerns, accelerating fuel prices and emission regulations such as the Kyoto protocol have accelerated the growth of renewable energy across the globe. Operating costs for wind energy production is lower than comparable solar energy production costs, and hence: wind farms are more profitable than solar energy. Over the next 5 years, the wind energy market is expected to reach $ 108 B, solar PV $101 B and solar thermal $17 B per annum.
This Lucintel report will provide the reader with valuable information, insights, growth forecasts and normalized cost of energy for these differing technologies. This report will save the reader hundreds of hours of research time and will be of significantly benefit in the support of business expansion. In today’s stringent economy, you need every advantage that you can find.
