Abstract

This IDC Market Perspective provides an overview of utilities' asset operations in 3Q19, covering M&As, agreements, reorganizations, and major business developments; new financial deals; major traditional infrastructure projects; major renewables infrastructure projects; new developments in water and nuclear; smart meter and smart grid initiatives; and emobility developments, ICT contract wins, and product announcements.

"The utility industry has been severely disrupted. While developed countries focus on decarbonizing the sector, developing countries are tasked with building as much new capacity as possible — including traditional generation and renewable generation — to feed growing energy demand. Many countries are also facing water crises and are forced to invest in water assets, either new or refurbished," said Gaia Gallotti, associate research director, IDC Energy Insights in Europe.
