Hence, such factors are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
A key factor shaping market growth is the reduction in cost for wind projects. Some of the key factors that determine the e cost of electricity generated from wind energy from wind energy include capital costs, operating costs, and capacity. In addition, CAPEX, OPEX, project design, and cost of financing turbine performance are the main drivers that significantly contribute to the reduction of wind energy.
Moreover, another significant factor that fuels the reduction of the cost of wind energy is the decline in prices for offshore applications. Furthermore, as wind-generated electricity prices are extremely competitive, they incur costs that are lower than all other renewable resources which is positively impacting the market. Hence, such factors are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
Competition from fossil fuels is one of the key challenges hindering market growth. There is an increasing preference by governments of several countries with e abundant coal reserves to replace coal-based electricity with costlier renewable energy sources, including wind power. In addition, there is an increasing effort by many developing countries to scale up their wind power capabilities.
However, factors such as the lack of stable and favorable government policies in such countries result in the inflated cost of wind power. In addition, increasing concerns over the dangers and possible adverse effects of climate change are encouraging many countries to lower the use of fossil fuels and replace them with low-emission sources of energy. Hence, such factors negatively impact the market which, in turn, will hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
