Ultra Mega Power Projects (UMPP) Construction Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share 2023
Ultra
mega power projects (UMPP) are large power stations with a capacity of
4,000 MW. UMPP was an initiative planned by Government of India in 2005
to build series of ambitious power stations. The aim of the initiative
is to create an additional capacity of minimum 100,000 MW power by 2022.
The UMPPs are perceived as an extension of the MPP (Mega Power
Projects) projects that the Government of India initiated in the 1990s.
The projects are awarded to developers on the basis of competitive
bidding. In countries such as Brazil, China, Poland, Indonesia, Saudi
Arabia, Japan, Russia, UAE, Canada, Venezuela and the U.S, ultra mega
power projects exist with different names and different initiatives.
Generally, these UMPPs are coal powered, hydro powered, nuclear powered,
wind powered and oil & gas powered.

The
global UMPP construction market has been growing substantially since
the first ultra mega power project was started in Labrador, Newfoundland
and Labrador, Canada in 1971. This power plant has an installed
capacity of 5,428 MW and is owned and operated by the Churchill Falls
Labrador Corporation Limited.Many other ultra-mega power projects such
as the Itaipu hydroelectric dam, Xiluodu hydroelectric dam, and Guri
hydroelectric dam have been constructed in various regions of the world.
North America, Asia Pacific and Latin America are the major markets for
UMPP construction industry.
The
drivers for UMPP construction market include rising demand for
electricity across the globe. The rising population, industrialization
and modernization have led to an increase in demand of electricity.
UMPPs provide electricity to consumers at much lower rates. As the size
of the power plants is very huge, the cost of the electricity is much
lower due to the economies of scale. However, initial high capital
costs, negative environmental impacts and infeasibility to relocate
large number of residents could hamper the growth of UMPP construction
market.UMPPs are beneficial for low cost electricity generation and
rising demand of electricity could be satisfied with help of UMPPs. Many
governments such as Government of India and Government of China among
others have provided subsidies,financial assistance, public clearances
and approvals, and plug and play model to encourage UMPP construction
projects. These positive attributes are likely to help the UMPP
construction market to grow during the forecast period.
The
global UMPP constructionmarket for can be segmented on the basis of
technology and geography. Various types of UMPPs are constructed across
the globe using different renewable and non-renewable energy sources.
UMPPs are constructed using various energy sources such as coal, nuclear
energy, oil & gas, wind power and hydro power. Asia Pacific held
largest market share of the global UMPP construction market in 2014.
China is one of the leader in UMPP construction market followed by
India, Japan, South Korea and Indonesia. North America, Latin America
and Europe including countries such as the U.S, Canada, Brazil,
Venezuela, Russia and Poland have a large market for UMPP construction.
Middle East has also started construction of UMPP in recent years.
Countries such as Saudi Arabia and UAE are major players in this region
for UMPP construction market.Asia Pacific including countries such as
China and India have a huge potential market for UMPP construction in
the coming years.
