Global CAPEX and O&M Expenditure Outlook for Electric Power T&D Investments: 2011-2012 Funding Outlook for Smart Grid Development Based on First Quarter 2011 Survey Results
Newton Evans, April 2011, Pages: 112
This report is the authors 4th survey-based study of planned capital expenditures and operations & Maintenance budgets related to worldwide smart grid and T&D spending. The 2011 survey was conducted in February and March, and out of hundreds of utilities contacted globally the authors received 108 responses from 28 countries. The survey results are the basis for the narrative summaries, charts and tables of information contained in this report. This report is a follow up to three previous studies on CAPEX and O&M budgets published in December 2008, June 2009 and January 2010. The December 2008 report included survey data collected from 112 utility officials; the June 2009 and January 2010 surveys received 118 and 93 responses respectively.
Findings from all of these earlier surveys are compared with this new round of findings throughout this report as applicable. In addition to requesting information regarding capital investment and operations and maintenance budgets for 2011 and 2012, the newest survey also queried respondents on five possible rationales for budget changes: Regulatory Mandates, Smart Grid Initiatives, Government Stimulus Bills, Economic Outlook/Revenue Forecast, and Stimulus project completed/funding depleted. Information on planned capital and O&M expenditure ranges for T&D activities were solicited at the end of the survey.
The latest survey was directed to upper level managers and senior staff directly involved with transmission and distribution planning, as these officials were most likely to be involved in some or all aspects of formulating the T&D budget and planning for smart grid initiatives within the utility. The 2011 survey was designed to obtain information from a T&D operations and engineering perspective.
Budget information requests were made for the following: SCADA, EMS and DMS Outlook, Substation Automation and Integration, Protection and Control, Distribution Automation, Transmission Infrastructure, Distribution Infrastructure and Automated Meter Reading and Advanced Metering Infrastructure.
