Wind power to grow nearly 2% between 2022 and 2031: report

This is equivalent to 25.6 gigawatts of new installed capacity.

Installed capacity in global wind power is expected to grow 1.9%, or 25.6 gigawatts (GW), quarter-on-quarter between 2022 and 2031, Wood Mackenzie reported.

This comes as new the Americas and Europe intensify strategies and implement new climate policies, leading to a net upgrade of 21GWs; whilst the Asia-Pacific region, excluding China, saw a 1.9GW reduction.

“The Inflation Reduction Act establishes long-term investment stability in the US, with more than 5 GW of the 6.8 GW upgrade QoQ expected from 2028-2031,” Luke Lewandowski, Wood Mackenzie research director, said.

“Procurement activity in Quebec and a robust pipeline in Alberta will trigger a 2.5 GW upgrade in Canada, strengthening its position as a top 20 global market.”

Lewandowski explained the reduction in the Asia-Pacific region was due to concerns in Vietnam’s state utility and slow development in Japan and South Korea.

“This is primarily due to the state utility in Vietnam not recognising new wind power over grid stability concerns, but also due to slow market development in Japan and project adjustments in South Korea,” Lewandowski said.

“Offshore project disruption in China caused by typhoons, supply chain challenges, and Covid-19 outbreaks has put even greater pressure on completing projects before 2026 as the 14th Five Year Plan ends in 2025.”

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
