The power sector is experiencing a fundamental shift in structure and underlying economics.

Ongoing deregulation, new market entrants, operating cost, and increasing political pressure are among the factors forcing developed markets into adopting renewables and driving traditional utilities to change their business models. These issues are further compounded by the ambition to de-carbonize power generation to mitigate the impact on climate change, while still remaining cost effective.
