Power EPC Global Market Report 2025

The power epc market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $684.9 billion in 2024 to $720.67 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to supportive government policies and incentives for clean energy projects, rapid urbanization, and industrial expansion, increasing investments by private sector players in power generation, increasing focus on energy security and reliability, and initiatives to electrify sectors such as transportation and heating.

The power epc market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $897.46 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising global energy consumption, the shift towards renewable energy sources, increasing awareness and concerns about climate change, upgrades and expansions in grid infrastructure to accommodate new generation sources, and increasing occurrences of extreme weather events. Major trends in the forecast period include innovations in power generation technologies, advanced energy storage solutions, smart grid technologies, development of emerging markets, R&D and innovation in energy storage, and integration of digital technologies.

The forecast of 5.6% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.2% from the previous projectiont. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) firms in the power sector may face cost escalations resulting from tariffs on specialized machinery and construction materials, leading to delays and budget overruns in turnkey energy infrastructure projects. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The increasing demand for energy is expected to drive growth in the power engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) market in the foreseeable future. This rising energy demand stems from several factors, including a growing global population, rapid industrialization, urbanization, technological advancements, and improved living standards, all contributing to heightened energy consumption across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. Power EPC services are essential in the energy sector for the efficient design, construction, and management of large-scale power generation and distribution projects. For instance, in July 2024, the International Energy Agency, a France-based intergovernmental organization, projected that global electricity demand would grow by approximately 4% in 2024, an increase from 2.5% in 2023. Additionally, global electricity supply is anticipated to rise from 30% in 2023 to 35% in 2025. Therefore, the increasing demand for energy is propelling the growth of the power EPC market.

Leading companies in the power engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) market are concentrating on developing advanced products, such as renewable energy solutions, to gain a competitive edge. Renewable energy solutions encompass a variety of technologies and practices aimed at generating power from natural processes that are continuously replenished. For example, in June 2022, Tata Power Solar Systems Limited, an India-based provider of solar energy services, undertook the commissioning of a 66 MW EPC project for Vibrant Energy. This project is expected to produce 110,029 units of energy annually and will contribute to a reduction of carbon emissions by up to 900,000 metric tons. The project spans 191 acres and consists of 127,268 solar modules, completed within a record timeframe of nine months.

In June 2022, SNC-Lavalin, a Canada-based engineering company, acquired Flex Process for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is viewed as a strategic initiative to enhance SNC-Lavalin's multidisciplinary services in energy transition sectors, including hydrogen production and carbon capture technologies. Flex Process is a UK-based provider of power EPC services.

Power engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) is a service model utilized for the development of power generation projects, encompassing the design, procurement of equipment, and construction of facilities. This model provides a comprehensive solution that manages all project aspects from inception to completion, ensuring streamlined execution, adherence to timelines, and optimization of resources for efficient power plant operations.

The primary types of power engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) include thermal power sources, combined cycle power sources, gas-based sources, nuclear power sources, renewable energy sources, and others. Thermal power sources involve generating electricity by converting heat energy into electrical power, commonly serving as baseload generation to provide a consistent and reliable electricity supply to meet continuous energy demands. The key equipment involved includes gas turbines, steam turbines, boilers, generators, control systems, and more. These components are applied across various applications, including power generation, transmission, and distribution, among others.

The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a notable impact on the utilities sector, particularly across power generation, grid modernization, and renewable energy initiatives. Increased duties on imported equipment such as turbines, transformers, solar panels, and battery storage systems are driving up both capital and operational expenses for utility companies, prompting many to delay projects or pass higher costs on to consumers through increased energy rates. The water and waste management sectors are similarly affected, as tariffs inflate the cost of essential machinery, piping, and treatment technologies. Moreover, retaliatory tariffs from key trading partners have disrupted the supply of critical raw materials - such as rare earth elements vital for clean energy technologies - posing further challenges to the shift toward sustainable energy. In response, the sector is increasingly focusing on domestic procurement, digital transformation, and efficiency-enhancing innovations to control rising costs while safeguarding energy reliability and meeting regulatory demands.
