Global Electricity Transmission Report, 2011

Global Transmission Research has just released the first edition of Global Electricity Transmission Report – the most comprehensive and up-to-date study on the sector.

The 563-page report has three distinct sections.

Part 1 of the report (about 40 pages) describes the existing state of, and the expected growth in, the electricity industry in terms of generation and transmission capacity. It briefly examines the major regulatory, technological and financing developments and trends over the last few years. It analyses the key growth drivers and challenges, and assesses the outlook for the global transmission industry.

Part 2 of the report (about 400 pages) provides detailed profiles of 101 countries arranged into six regions: North America, Latin America, Asia, Europe, Africa and the Middle East. These 101 countries represent about 96.4 per cent of the world’s gross domestic product (GDP) and contribute over 97.3 per cent of the world’s total generation capacity. The report presents key statistics and describes developments in the electricity sectors of these countries from 2005 to 2010, and offers projections for the five-year period from 2011 to 2015. The focus of the report is the high-voltage transmission networks of the 220 kV and above category.

Each country profile provides data on and analysis of:

Industry structure
Existing generation capacity and production
Expected addition to generation capacity
Existing transmission network (line length, transformer capacity, number of substations/transformers and existing cross-border electricity interconnections)
Expected addition to transmission capacity (line length, transformer capacity and number of substations/transformers)

Part 3 (Appendix) of the report provides a list of key domestic transmission and cross-border electricity interconnection projects planned for each country. It also includes an outline of the research methodology and lists of tables and figures presented in the report.

The report will be indispensible for any organisation interested in global electricity transmission industry – transmission utilities, power generators, technology providers, equipment manufacturers, EPC contractors, investors/lenders, research organisations, industry consultants, regulatory agencies, development institutions, etc.

The report is available in PDF format. It is priced at $4,400.
