The future of the electricity industry is closely linked to the future of the global economy and the global environment.

Electricity generation includes both large-scale commercial and industrial, grid-connected, centralized power plants linked to the most-populated metropolitan areas in the world, as well as small-scale generation in remote locations. This report looks at the industry as a whole and is segmented into three parts – generation, transmission, and distribution.

The importance of identifying overall market trends, product opportunities, emerging geographies, merger-and-acquisition opportunities, and insights that provide guidance for sales growth or defensive moves cannot be overstated.
