Introduction
Oscillating traction in the renewable energy market in Europe is linked to political risks and to the difficulties of balancing risk and reward in the financing of new technologies. Datamonitor assesses how the renewable energy capacity mix will evolve, the key opportunities for players across the energy value chain, and the technologies and countries that offer the greatest potential for growth
Features and benefits
* Analysis of installed capacities and generation output for the main sources of renewable energies across Europe, at a regional and member state level
* A detailed identification of the key drivers and barriers shaping these markets, and the likely growth potential of each renewable technology
* An examination of new technology introductions and innovations, and future areas of opportunity for manufacturers and power providers
Highlights
The European power industry is in the very early stage of a large-scale transformation program that will see it shift direction and expand rapidly over the coming decades. As a result, the industry is currently rife with investment opportunities, across the entire sustainable energy value chain
Most of the growth in renewable power will be in wind capacity and generation, concentrated in Germany, Spain, France, and the UK. The offshore wind industry in Europe represents the strongest long-term market growth potential, on the back of strong pipeline of projects, rapid technological development, and increasing levels of regulatory support
Of the various forms of ocean energy, tidal energy is expected to mature first, mostly due to the fact that major hydropower companies and major European utilities are familiar with the technology and its applications. 2011 will be an important year for this budding industry
