Research and Markets: U.S. Renewable Energy Market - Utility Level Analysis

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/e3d9a3/u_s_renewable_ene) has announced the addition of Frost & Sullivan's new report "U.S. Renewable Energy Market - Utility Level Analysis" to their offering.

“U.S. Renewable Energy Market - Utility Level Analysis”

The renewable power market has received considerable attention and investment for over the current years as a consequence of the rising energy demand and climate change problems. The success of renewable power now hinges on the performance and successful demonstrations of their technologies, and the availability of federal and states incentives. The present research service analyzed the U.S. renewable power markets along with the main utilities involved in it. Supported by identifying the drivers and restraints, as well as major trends, facing these markets

Overview:

• The U.S. renewable energy market at the utility level experienced tremendous growth during the last three years as a consequence of increasing government concerns about energy security and independence. In addition, other factors, such as rising energy prices; volatility of fuel costs; and government incentives on renewable energy, have accelerated market growth.
• All the regions are expected to experience higher growth during the forecast period, though some are projected to grow more than others. CSP plants are projected to grow more than other renewable energy facilities.

Scope:

• This research service analyzes the renewable energy market in the United States at the utility level.
• The base year for this study is 2009 and the forecast period is 2010-2016.
• This research service analyzes the market share among electric utilities.
• This study only considers renewable energy technologies that are used for power generation and excludes other applications.

Segmentation:

In this research service, the renewable energy market is categorized into four segments:

• Biomass
• Wind
• Solar photovoltaic (PV)
• Concentrating solar power (CSP)

Based on primary interviews, factors that are expected to drive and inhibit the market in terms of revenues are identified. These factors, market drivers and market restraints, are analyzed over a timeframe encompassing the short term (1 to 2 years), medium term (3 to 4 years), and long term (5 to 6 years). Forecasts are estimated by assigning weights to the drivers and restraints according to the time frame. The time frame analysis directly affects market forecasts, development of market strategies, and investment timing by industry participants. Finally, the forecasts are matched to the leading economic indicators and drivers for the industry.
