ABOUT THE PRESENTATION:
The electric power industry is experiencing a rapid and complex transformation around the globe and this is certainly true for the United States and Canada. We are seeing the most aggressive growth in electricity than we have seen in well over a decade. There are many drivers behind this rapid growth in electricity demand including the push to develop data centers, expansion of AI, electrification and economic growth. Providing enough electricity to supply this demand growth is presenting a number of challenges and opportunities. On the generation side renewables will continue to dominate the overall spend and number of projects but we are seeing a shift towards adding new natural gas fired and nuclear power generation. Coal plants originally scheduled for retirement are delaying decommissioning by many years. Once new generation is built the challenge to deliver to the customer is becoming more challenging due to an inadequate and aging transmission grid. This presentation will focus on project activity scheduled to kick off over the next 3-years including new build, modernizations, expansions, plant modifications and scheduled maintenance activity.
