FRANKFURT: Germany\u2019s nuclear exit and power shortages in China may help boost demand for switchgears and transformers, benefiting European power transmission suppliers such as Siemens and ABB.<\/span><\/p>\n

Germany\u2019s parliament began debating its new energy bill on Thursday, clearing the way for the shutdown of 17 nuclear reactors from 2015, according to a report by Reuters on Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Analysts say the nuclear capacity gap could be replaced mostly by renewables, which are volatile sources of energy and so trigger a need to invest in grid transmission infrastructure. The nuclear capacity to be phased out represents around 21 GW of Germany\u2019s installed capacity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Arnaud Brossard of Exane BNP Paribas said this meant a potential boost of 6 GW, or 15-20 per cent of the annual generation investment in Europe from 2013\/14 onward.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe news is positive for Alstom, Siemens and even ABB,\u201d he said, adding Europe generation and transmission is 40 per cent of Alstom\u2019s value, and 10 per cent of Siemens\u2019s and ABB\u2019s.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEven though we would expect Siemens to grab a bigger share of the next European investment cycle due to its current strength in on\/offshore wind, Alstom would be relatively more positively impacted by an investment cycle recovery in generation or transmission in Europe,\u201d Brossard said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unicredit analyst James Stettler said apart from \u201cthe Big Three\u201d \u2014Siemens, ABB and Alstom, French suppliers Schneider Electricand Legrand also stand to benefit.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe urgency created by the planned nuclear exit could prove to be the catalyst,\u201d for companies that supply equipment in power transmission and distribution (T&D), Stettler said.<\/span><\/p>\n

T&D suppliers are now grappling with weak prices, particularly in the large power transformers sector in China, as utilities struggling from overcapacity rein in capital spending.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stettler said investments to boost baseload capacity and strengthen power grids could spur demand not only for switchgear and transformers, but also for grid management solutions, high-voltage direct current interconnections, and technology to boost output on existing alternating current lines, to handle changing flows.<\/span><\/p>\n

Simon Smith of Credit Suisse said the energy plans aim to boost renewable power generation from 17 per cent to 35 per cent and he believed the gap will be addressed by wind, which accounted for six per cent of electricity generation in Germany at the4 last count.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe scale of the capacity additions and the requirement for higher levels of availability suggest there will be disproportionate demand for offshore wind,\u201d Smith said.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
