subject: Power Market in Western Europe to 2020 - Increasing Focus on Renewable Power to Change the Energy Mix [print this page] Power Market in Western Europe to 2020 - Increasing Focus on Renewable Power to Change the Energy Mix
GBI Research's report, "Power Market in Western Europe to 2020: Increasing Focus on Renewable Power to Change the Energy Mix" provides an in-depth analysis of the power market of selected Western European countries (France, Germany, Austria, The United Kingdom, Spain, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway and Italy). The research analyzes their regulatory framework and the infrastructure of their power sectors. It provides a detailed forecast of the installed capacity by thermal, hydro, renewable (solar PV, biomass, wind etc.) and nuclear sources in each of the 10 countries up to 2020. The report, coupled with elaborate information on active and upcoming power plants in the countries, provides a comprehensive understanding of the 10 Western Europe power markets. This report is built using data and information sourced from proprietary databases, primary and secondary research and in-house analysis by GBI Research's team of industry experts.
According to GBI Research, Germany emerges as the largest power market by installed capacity among the Western Europe countries with a share of 21.5% in the total installed capacity followed by France. With an upturn in the global economy expected from 2010, Western European power market is expected to grow moderately during the forecast period 2010-2020. However, the growth will be strongly impacted by electricity prices and energy efficiency policies. The countries are actively augmenting its capacity through clean energy sources, namely, wind, solar photovoltaic and other renewables with an objective to reduce carbon emission. In order to achieve the objective, the Governments have undertaken several incentives in the form of tax relief, capital cost grants and subsidies. Hence, the commitment to curtail the carbon emissions will lead to the growing investments in renewable power generation.
