The global Captive Power Plant Market is estimated to be valued at US$25.99 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 13% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
A captive power plant refers to a power generating facility set up by an industry to meet their own energy demands. These plants can be set up by core sector industries like cement, steel, aluminum etc. or commercial organizations like malls, IT parks to meet their electricity needs in a reliable and cost effective manner. Captive power plants offer various advantages like reliable power supply without disruptions, cost savings over grid supply and control over energy costs. They help industries insulate themselves from price volatility in grid power. With growing energy needs of industries and malls, the captive power plant market is witnessing significant growth globally.
Market key trends:
One of the key trends in the captive power plant market is the increasing focus on renewable energy sources like solar and wind. Many industries are installing renewable energy based captive power plants to meet their green energy targets and reduce carbon footprint. Governments across countries are also promoting renewable energy through various incentives and policies. For example, India has set an ambitious target of having 60GW of renewable energy based captive power plants by 2022. Growth in core sectors like cement and steel production along with rising energy consumption in commercial establishments is another major driver leading to increased investments in captive power plants.
