Abstract
The 7th Edition of the ABS T&D Report reveals a surge in the global T&D market
and we predict that the market will remain strong for up to five years. This
electricity market research report is continuously expanded, with new
categories of information and more extensive detail. It is a substantial
document of 458 pages containing overall analysis of the transmission and
distribution systems, chapters dealing with each of 183 individual countries
and detailed statistical tables of line lengths and system capacity. Capital
expenditure and market sizes for 8 categories of T&D equipment and business
service are sized and forecast for each year from 2007 to 2012. 114 network
maps are contained within the report as well as a series of tables detailing
the international interconnections which are enhancing access to generating
capacity for many countries and optimising use of surplus capacity. The Power
Pools now emerging around the world are outlined. This new emphasis,
assembling the network maps, information about the Power Pools and details of
interconnections, enables a more comprehensive understanding of the process of
interlinking national power systems globally. The tables in the Excel database
include further analysis of voltage levels in individual countries. A detailed
analysis of global transmission and distribution networks which total 5.8
million km in transmission lines and 61 million km of distribution lines is
contained. This electricity market research report also examines this country
by country and projects growth annually until 2012.
A voltage analysis is provided where possible. The report also looks at
markets for transmission and distribution equipment examining total capital
expenditure and sizes individual markets for 8 categories of equipment and
business service. The markets are defined in 2 categories: A broader market of
$92 billion for all products in 2007, equipment and services, with total capex
of $154 billion including installation costs and a smaller more concentrated
market for high tech products and added-value services excluding cables and
lines, which is estimated at $62 billion in 2007 (a substantial increase on
$54 billion in 2006). This transmission and distribution market research
report contains a detailed section for each country examining the T&D
industry, its structure, its size and the entities involved in it, up-dated to
2007.
The previous edition of this report identified a number of important factors
which we believed to be shaping the direction of transmission and distribution
globally and which would have significant impacts on the market in the coming
years. These predictions have proved accurate and the present report reveals a
large surge in capital expenditure in T&D in 2006/07 and the coming years. The
most important finding of this edition of the ABS T&D Report is the
significantly increased levels of capital expenditure on T&D in 2006 and 2007
and the prediction that this optimistic outlook will continue for another five
years.
