Summary
GlobalData's report on the Germany power market, "Germany Power Market Outlook to 2020", provides historical and forecast numbers for generation, capacity and consumption up to 2020. The research analyzes upcoming power projects, key import and export trends, regulatory frameworks and infrastructure for the market. This coupled with elaborate profiles of key market participants provides a comprehensive understanding of the market's competitive scenario. The power market of Germany is dominated by thermal fuel sources, which accounted for 55.7% of the country's cumulative installed capacity in 2009. Its thermal capacity is dominated by coal-fired power plants owing to its large coal reserves. Germany's electricity generation and consumption is expected to continue increasing due to higher demand and additional capacity coming online. Electricity demand in Germany is increasing due to increasing population and industrialization. Germany has traditionally used thermal fuel sources to generate its electricity. To free up its oil and gas reserves for export to other countries and meet the Kyoto Protocol, Germany is actively augmenting its capacity through clean energy sources, namely, wind, solar and other renewable. The German government is planning to increase the share of renewable energy to 50% by 2050.
