The global captive power plant market size is projected to expand a high CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing demand for uninterrupted power supply.
A captive power plant provides a confined source of capacity to an energy client. These are regularly industrial offices, enormous workplaces or data centers. The plants usually work in lattice equal mode with the capacity to send out excess capacity to the neighborhood power distribution division. Moreover, they have the capacity to work in island mode; for instance, captive power plant can be integrated with local electricity distribution framework.
A captive power plant is a localized source of power to an energy user. These plants can be used for manufacturing industries, large offices, or data centers. Distributed generation system improves fuel efficacy and decreases losses associated with the transmission of electricity from centralized power plants. Gas engines are the ideal source for captive power plants for places where localized supply is easily available. The energy source can be from gas pipeline but can also be transported from other places in liquefied or compressed form. These plants not only generate electricity but also heat which can be used for the production of steam for turbines.
Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
- Rapid growth of the energy intensive industry is projected to drive the market growth in the projected timeline.
- Rising fuel consumption and decreasing crude oil prices helps in development of new refineries, which is estimated to further enhance the demand for captive power plants in the coming years.
