Power generation is changing rapidly as companies respond to decarbonization targets, new technologies, and rising demand for clean, reliable electricity amidst transmission constraints. ADI Analytics helps utilities, IPPs, and investors improve commercial and operational performance through market research, techno-economic analysis, and strategy support.
The global power generation sector is undergoing a major transition. Coal- and gas-fired plants still provide a large share of electricity, but they face mounting pressure to cut emissions and compete with cheaper renewable options. Solar and wind are growing quickly followed by hydropower and biomass along with renewed interest in nuclear and geothermal supported by energy transition goals, strong policy and investor support, and falling costs.
Developed markets are seeing increased investment in flexible generation, storage, and distributed energy systems due to aging infrastructure, grid limitations, and growing electrification. Meanwhile, governments and utilities in emerging markets are adding capacity to support economic growth, urbanization, and energy access. Across both contexts, generation strategies must account for fuel availability, intermittency, regulatory requirements, grid access, and overall project economics.
At the same time, companies face increasing scrutiny over emissions, reliability, and ESG performance. Investment decisions are shaped by carbon pricing, permitting delays, policy shifts, and clean energy incentives. Fuel prices, infrastructure costs, and changing customer expectations add further complexity.
To remain competitive, companies must align their asset mix, development strategy, and regulatory planning with evolving market dynamics, policy trends, and investor expectations.
