Renewable Generation Strategies of Europe's Utilities, 2006-2011
Emerging Energy Research, March 2006, Pages: 270
'Renewable Generation Strategies of Europe's Utilities, 2006–2011' analyzes major European utility activity in key emerging renewable generation segments, specifically wind, biopower, small hydro, solar, geothermal, and ocean power. The 270-page study focuses on which technologies will follow wind as scalable additions to utilities' generation portfolios, assessing how much utilities plan to invest in renewable generation over the long term, and tracking how utilities are executing these investment strategies.
Environmental issues are increasingly driving power generation investments in Europe.
Challenged by the EU and Kyoto-driven national policies to produce cleaner power, Europe’s utilities are adding renewables to their generation portfolios at a faster pace than ever before. While wind power has been the dominant renewable power source added this decade, utilities are now broadening their search for clean power alternatives to include scalable biopower, small hydro, solar, and ocean power.
But building out renewable generation to meet EU targets is only a small part of the story. In the broader context of electricity deregulation, fuel supply interruptions, skyrocketing energy prices, and industry consolidation, renewable energy strategies have become key to building competitive advantage among Europe’s utilities.
'Renewable Generation Strategies of Europe’s Utilities, 2006–2011' carefully analyzes the strategies of Europe’s largest utilities in the areas of wind power, biopower, solar PV, solar CSP, wave and tidal energy, small hydro power, and geothermal. The study compares strategy drivers, technology options, and market focus.
Renewables are becoming key components of Europe’s utility strategy portfolios. EER’s new study details how and why:
- Renewables are evolving as a strategic imperative for utilities aiming to expand into nw generation markets while fulfilling environmental obligations. Which utilities are leveraging renewables experience to enter new markets and broaden their European presence?
- To date, wind has been the most scalable option, with projects reaching up to 160 MW. Which technologies will follow? How far off is tidal and solar CSP? Which utilities have achieved competitive business models in biopower?
- Europe’s emissions regulations vary widely by region, giving rise to different approaches among Northern, Southern, and Central European utilities. What are the implications for your business?
Whether Europe’s utilities are your customers, your competitors or your suppliers, Renewable Generation Strategies of Europe’s Utilities, 2006–2011 provides a wealth of project data, business intelligence, and strategic analysis to help you succeed in renewable energy markets.
