The US is the dominant economic market in the Americas and is the world’s second largest energy consumer after China. Energy consumption in the US in 2017 stood at 2,235 million tonnes of oil equivalent (mtoe), ahead of 349 mtoe in Canada and 294 mote in Brazil (Latin America’s biggest economy). According to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), natural gas provided the highest amount of electricity generation in 2018, with 35.1%, followed by coal with 27.4%, nuclear with 19.3% and renewable sources with 17.1%. Of the renewable energy sources, hydroelectric made up 7% of total energy production.

Canada, which is in the second place for the value of power generation construction projects tracked by GlobalData, is an exporter of dry natural gas to the US, although most of its energy needs are provided by hydroelectric power, which represented 56% of the country’s electricity generation in 2017.

In Brazil, the hydropower sector also makes up for the majority of the country’s total energy capacity and satisfies more than three-quarters of electricity demand. However, the country has committed to expand its non-hydro renewable sources to 48% by 2026 under its 10-Year Energy Expansion Plan 2026. Given its abundant resources, Brazil has a lot of potential to generate electricity not only from water but also from renewable sources such as wind, solar and biomass.

The report provides analysis based on CIC projects showing total project values for the Americas and analysis by stage and funding for the top ten countries. The top 50 projects are listed for the region giving country, stage, value and type of power generation construction. Values by ten types of project power categories are given, including nuclear, wind, coal and biomass. Power generation capacity (MW) analysis is also provided. Ranked listings of the key operators for the sector are also provided showing the leading contractors, consulting engineers and project owners.

GlobalData is currently tracking 1,402 power generation construction projects across the Americas at all stages of development, from announcement to execution. Collectively these projects are valued at US$825.3 billion.

Scope

– Wind projects account for the highest value of projects in the pipeline, with a value of US$243.1 billion, followed by hydroelectric power projects with US$177.5 billion. The pipeline of nuclear project projects is valued at US$130.8 billion, while gas and solar projects are valued at US$121.4 billion and US$116.8 billion respectively. North America leads in the sectors of wind, nuclear, gas, biomass and ocean power generation, while Latin America dominates in sectors such as hydroelectric power (the region’s main source of energy), solar, coal and geothermal.

– Projects in the planning stage have a total value of US$401.2 billion, followed by projects in execution with US$246.4 billion. Projects in the pre-planning stage amount to US$112.6 billion, while those at the pre-execution stage total US$65.0 billion. Assuming all projects proceed as planned, total spending could reach US$60.4 billion in 2020 and US$83.6 billion in 2021.

– Projects funded by the private sector account for 64% of the total pipeline, followed by 22.1% by the public sector and 13.9% by a mix of public and private funding mechanisms. North America has the highest proportion of privately-financed projects, with 67.3%, while Latin America has the highest ratio of publicly-financed projects with 72.3%. Latin America also has the highest share of projects being financed by a combination of public and private funding sources, with 56.3%, in comparison to 43.7% in North America.

– The US accounts for five of the top 10 projects in the Americas region, followed by Canada with three, and Brazil and Bolivia with one each. Situated in Panhandle, Texas, the Mariah Wind Farm, valued at US$22 billion, is one of the largest power generation construction projects in the pipeline. The project, which is being developed in three phases by Scandia Wind, will generate a total of 10,000MW of power when fully developed.

– Based on the data available of tracked projects, the Americas should deliver a total of around 364GW of generating capacity by 2025, with North America responsible for 192.3GW and Latin America responsible for 172.8GW.

 Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

 Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

 Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

 Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

 Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

 Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
