Thailand

Operations to start by end-2014.

Nearly 100 executives from power companies gathered for the awards night.

Holds cornerstone laying ceremony.

Now carrying-out feasibility studies.

Plans to generate 3 GW from solar energy.

Will focus on power generation and alternative energy. Power-Gen Asia and Renewable Energy World Asia will open at the Impact Exhibition and Conference Center for three days of discussion and debate on the future of Asia's power industry. Some 200 companies will also exhibit their latest technologies, products and solutions. The program includes more than 150 international experts presenting across eight conference tracks. These experts will talk on topics focusing on strategic and technical power issues and challenges and the growth of the renewable and alternative energy sectors Economic growth requires energy as its enabler and the power industry is the provider of this vital lifeblood. Balancing this responsibility with the requirement to protect the environment has put the power industry under the spotlight more than ever before.

Report says these markets are the future. A new report by IHS estimates that photovoltaic installations in small, emerging markets could rise at about triple the global average during the period from 2012 through 2017. Annual installations in these emerging countries are expected to increase to 10.9 GW in 2017, expanding at a compound annual growth rate of 38% from 2.2 GW in 2012. In contrast, the overall global market will expand at a CAGR of only 13% during the same period. The emerging markets will account for 19% of global solar installations in 2017, up from just 7% in 2012. IHS noted that across the world, new markets for solar PV are emerging, propelled by government incentives, including tenders for large-scale contracts, feed-in-tariff schemes and self-consumption support. Although these markets sometimes have huge hurdles like limited financing, regulatory uncertainty and opaque local regulatory conditions, companies throughout the solar supply chain can benefit from targeting these fast-growing emerging countries. Of the emerging countries IHS analyzed, Thailand and Turkey are expected to become the largest markets in the coming years. Both countries have the potential to install a cumulative total of nearly 3 GW of PV systems during the period from 2013 through 2017.
