The biggest investment boom in history is under way. More than 50% of the world's infrastructure investment is now taking place in emerging economies, with Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC) leading the way. Every company with an international outlook needs to develop a BRIC market strategy.
Electricity demand from the BRIC economies is expected to increase by 75% over the next decade,
with urbanisation having the greatest impact on electricity requirements. Leading analysts are forecasting that a 1% increase in the share of people living in cities leads to a 1.8% increase in demand for installed capacity and a 1% rise in income per head leads to a 0.5% increase in demand.
Unprecedented demand combined with record investment has created a new wave of opportunities for suppliers of power plant, transmission and distribution solutions.
Published quarterly in print and in digital format, the BRIC edition will provide key decision makers involved in electricity generation in Brazil, Russia, India and China with unique analysis and data for the first time, bringing them contributions from leading industry commentators, practitioners and thought leaders. |
