Overview of the global power rental services market

Market research analysts at Technavio predict that the global power rental services market will grow steadily during the forecast period and post a CAGR of more than 3% by 2021. This market research analysis identifies the increase in power purchase agreements as one of the primary growth factors for this market. Rapid urbanization and the growing number of commercial establishments have created the need for constant power supply since the deficit in power supply results in business loss. As a result, enterprises will start forming partnerships with power rental utilities that mobilize the equipment and carry out operations to offer continuous power supply. In addition to commercial establishments, government organizations of several countries are also preferring power rental services for the continuous supply of power. For instance, the Angolan Ministry of Energy and Water already awarded the power rental services provider HIMOINSA with a contract for supplying 25 MW of power during 2012.

The market research report identifies the adoption of hybrid power generators as one of the primary trends behind the growth of this market. With the increasing need for additional power sources, the coming years will witness an increased demand for technologies that will help manage multiple power sources, in turn, driving the adoption of hybrid power generators. Additionally, benefits such as low cost, reduced rate of emissions, and better performance will also fuel the demand for hybrid power generators.
