INTRODUCTION
So much is now widely recognised: and the detail of renewables growth is increasingly
documented by business and investment analysts. This is the mark of a maturing sector,
and also a sign that business now needs to progress beyond simply regarding renewables as
“blue skies” and part of an unpredictable future – and move on to treating them as part of
the everyday mix.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
* Achieve a comprehensive understanding of the pressures acting on government and
industry in the renewables sector.
* Focus on strategies designed to guide business towards responding commercially to
current political, economic, social and technological trends.
* Analyze trends and initiatives in renewables development, both worldwide and by leading
developed and developing nations.
* Examine trends and initiatives in renewables development by key suppliers to the
industry.
* Utilize definitive source work, including the most recent data on renewables use by
country.

HIGHLIGHTS
* The renewables sector is highly differentiated and investors need to understand this:
within the sector are established, mature technologies such as hydro, as well as cutting
edge technologies, more likely to be found in wind and solar areas.
* The lead across many areas of renewable growth is now being taken by China, with the
EU also being a major player: the US continues to be a significant player – but there are
some signs that the current hands-off model may mean the US is starting to be left behind.
* Governments, particularly in Europe, are becoming more sophisticated in their use of
financial instruments to encourage renewables: where incentives are seen as too generous,
they are now rapidly being dismantled, with targeting of help going to areas more likely to
benefit.

2. YOUR KEY QUESTIONS ANSWERED
* What are the key influences affecting the growth of renewable power market?
* How have renewables been performing over recent years?
* How are renewables forecast to perform in the next two decades?
* What are the main policy instruments employed by governments in promotiong and
managing the growth of renewables?
* What are the strategies that businesses need now to be considering in respect of
developing their renewables porrtfolio?
