Power Generation Construction Projects Overview
The power generation construction projects pipeline is worth $6.47 trillion in 2023. Major projects have faced large cost hikes in recent quarters owing to the impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict on global energy markets. Heightened risk stemming from the ongoing uncertainty surrounding geopolitical escalation and volatility in energy markets is expected to keep investor confidence relatively low in the short term. However, the conflict in Ukraine has emphasized the need to diversify energy supply and develop independent supply chains in many markets, particularly in Europe which has tended to rely heavily on Russian energy imports in recent decades. In addition, the growing global political will to decarbonize the economy is also driving power generation construction away from carbon-based energy sources to renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and nuclear power, which account for the largest share of the pipeline’s value.

Power Generation Construction Projects Regional Segmentation
The key regions in the power generation construction projects are Northeast Asia, Western Europe, South Asia, North America, Southeast Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, Australasia, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), and Sub-Saharan Africa. The largest region in terms of power generation pipeline value is Western Europe. It has a large share of wind energy projects at 72%, marking considerable efforts to increase the share of renewable energy in its energy mix. North-East Asia closely follows with major contributions from China. Efforts are being made to phase out coal and develop cleaner energy sources, reflected in its sizable share of hydroelectric, wind, and nuclear projects.
Western Europe: The United Kingdom dominates the project pipeline in Western Europe. Energy policy has changed dramatically in the UK over the past ten years, beefing up investment in renewable energy significantly. The government intends to generate all electricity from clean energy sources, primarily wind and solar, by 2035. As part of the Autumn Budget 2023, the government set out plans for the creation of a new nuclear power plant – Sizewell C. The project will be the first state-backed nuclear project that the country has undertaken in over 30 years.
North America: The shift to renewable energy sources will define the power generation project pipeline in North America, with a small percentage of carbon-based power plants in the project pipeline. A concerted effort by the US and Canada to heavily reduce carbon emissions by increasing public investment and subsidies in renewable energy production, setting emission targets, and increasing regulation and taxes on high-emission industries. The US government plans to achieve a 100% clean energy economy by 2035, as well as net-zero emissions by 2050. In addition, the Biden administration is eager to invest heavily in renewable energy projects; after signing the Infrastructure and Jobs Act into law in November 2021, the government allocated a budget to upgrade the nation’s electricity grid through the construction of renewable energy projects and new transmission lines.
