Global Floating Power Plant Market Definition

The Floating Power Plant is a combination of marine technology with the power generation technique. This type of power plant is self-propelled and connects to the national grid whenever it is in need. It is flexible to run on single and combined cycle mode and is considered an ideal solution for the production of power. This system provides a fast supply of electricity to limited power infrastructure areas and does not large site for the setup. It widely finds its application in the generation of electricity and with the possibility to relocate as per the requirement. Two types of power sources in floating power plants are Renewable and Non-Renewable. Based on the capacity, they are classified into 1 MW-5 MW, 5.1 MW-20 MW, 20.1 MW-100 MW, 100.1 MW-250 MW, and Above 250 MW.

Global Floating Power Plant Market Overview

The Floating Power Plant Market is witnessing tremendous growth owing to the increasing demand for power consumption and a dearth of power infrastructure. Also, the growing demand for clean energy and initiatives by the government in promoting clean energy expects a boost to the market in the coming years. Additionally, the introduction of stringent regulations in response to the degradation of the environment and the advantage of floating power plants over land-based are predicted to fuel the market over the forecasted years. There are certain restraints and challenges faced which can hinder the market growth. The high capital cost associated with it owing to transportation and logistics is likely to act as a market restraint.
