New Global Power Generation Projects Database Ed 1 2012
This NRG Expert product provides a continuously up-dated listing of global electric power generation projects proposed, under construction or awaiting commissioning.
- Currently there is 1.6 million MW of new generation capacity planned
- The projects in this database range from those which are mere ideas to those near comple-tion
- Commissioning dates are given for 44% of the database, otherwise a description such as ‘planned’, ‘tender’, ‘under construction’ is given and 35% note specifically ‘no date for com-missioning’
- All projects have been identified with as much information as available and more is added on a continuous basis
- It is not always easy to ascertain the status of projects in the pipeline
- It is no by no means uncommon that a project is announced as starting or already started and for it then to be delayed for some years while unforeseen problems are resolved, usually involving financial, official approval or environmental obstacles
- Large projects are also frequently commissioned in stages, with separate units coming on-line over years, sometimes many years
