The report discusses different technologies of distributed energy generation, like reciprocating engines, small hydropower, solar PV, small combustion turbines, small wind, fuel cells, and microturbines. It offers a detailed analysis of different technologies and the prevalent trends and opportunities in the market. The market values are estimated based on multiple factors and analysis of manufacturers’ revenues. Market dynamics within each industry are identified. Technological advancements and trends are reviewed, and other influences, such as economic conditions and standards, are discussed. Because this is a global study, the publisher analyzes domestic and international technological issues and economic considerations.

The market segments of the report are focused on technical and commercial aspects of distributed energy generation. The report also discusses the regional policy and regulatory framework and ESG scenario for the industry in order to maintain environmental sustainability and comply with government regulations.

The report also analyzes the regional and country-wise markets for distributed energy generation. The segments are forecast for 2023 to 2028, with 2022 as a base year. Furthermore, the report offers a competitive scenario of the market, including a detailed analysis of key market players and a list of small and regional market players.

Each regional market considered in this analysis shows potential for market growth in the coming years. Installation of a DG system, especially for larger facilities, can include minor to considerable additional engineering, design, and construction of auxiliary/appurtenant facilities. Examples generally include fuel supply systems, pipelines, air emission controls, and other physical facilities and support equipment. Each of these components includes additional expenses in addition to the cost of the DG system itself. However, the cost of appurtenances and installation are not considered in the market values that follow.

To summarize, the market values presented here include:

  • Cost of DG equipment by category (microturbines, reciprocating engines, etc.).
  • New systems.
  • Replacement systems

The market values presented here do not include the following:

  • Appurtenances (appurtenant wiring, pipes, fuel supply, solar array shade structures, etc.).
  • Installation costs.
  • Engineering or design costs for site installation.

The currency used in this report is USD, with market size indicated only in USD Million. For companies reporting their revenue in USD, the revenues are taken from their annual reports. For companies that reported their revenue in other currencies, such as euros and pounds, the average annual currency conversion rate has been used for the particular year to convert the value into USD. The conversion rate for each currency conversion is provided in the report.

Executive Summary

Uneven and sometimes volatile growth in the distributed electricity generation market is mainly attributed to the economic and industrial development rates across the globe, country-wide regulatory support, fuel cost, raw-material cost, equipment costs and performance and energy source. The last decade has witnessed a strong expansion of DG research and product development among high-performing technologies and consolidation and reorganization among lower-performing technologies.

Revenue expansion, however, was not as rapid as anticipated due to various macro-economic factors such as increase in crude oil price, outbreak of the novel coronavirus, and the Russia-Ukraine war, among others. These trends, in turn, generated downward cost pressure, resulting in an increasingly competitive DG market, especially for solar and technologies that compete with reciprocating engines. However, continued global economic revival will enable several DG technologies to achieve significant growth while others expected to struggle to gain market traction against strong competitive influences. The DG market is founded on several discrete technologies including reciprocating engines, small
combustion turbines, microturbines, fuel cells, small hydropower, small wind and distributed solar. DG technologies provide localized generation capacity for a wide array of main line and niche markets including reliable and consistent power generation, peaking power/peak shaving, renewable energy generation, conversion of waste fuels to electricity, emergency or standby power generation capacity, rural and remote generation, mobile electricity generation as well as a variety of other applications.

In 2022, the global market for distributed energy generation reached $133.5 billion and expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.3%. Market value in 2016 included approximately $81.7 billion in fuel-based generation technologies (i.e., those that run primarily on fossil fuels including fuel cells, microturbines, reciprocating engines and small combustion turbines), and the rest in distributed scale renewable technologies (i.e., those that run exclusively on renewable, nonliquid fuel sources of energy including small hydropower, small wind and distributed scale solar photovoltaics). Existing growth trends as well as future projections indicate growth across the board for DG technologies with global markets reaching $241.6 billion by 2028. Growth rates will vary considerably, however, depending on individual technologies and regions. The strongest growth is expected in regions and countries where favorable market and regulatory conditions exist for the proliferation of DG technologies. Some countries such as Germany, China, India, and Sweden have enacted various laws and regulations to decommission the nuclear power plants. The decommissioning of existing power plants and investment in new power generation source is highly capital-intensive with longer pay-back period. These challenges, and the decentralization of power systems and along with radically growing electricity demand in developed countries has made DG technologies an attractive option.

This analysis provides annual breakdowns for the seven technologies considered in this report by region: North America, South America, Europe, APAC and the Middle East & Africa. Market values and annual installation capacity (in megawatts), including projections through 2028, are also included for the following countries: the U.S., Canada, and the rest of North America; Brazil, Chile, and the rest of South America; Germany, the U.K., France, Italy, Russia, and the rest of Europe; China, India, Japan, and the rest of Asia; and the UAE, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and the rest of the Middle East. The report identifies key global and regional technology-specific trends and provides a conservative assessment of future market valuations in light of economic conditions on a regional basis.

The global distributed energy generation market has been impacted significantly due to Covid-19 and the Russia-Ukraine war. Many countries imposed country-wide lockdowns and operational activities were halted temporarily.
