The coal power decommissioning market is expected to see a period of solid growth over the next decade as older coal power stations are replaced either by new more efficient coal power plants, or by cleaner natural gas, wind and solar facilities. Decommissioning activity will be dominated by countries in Europe and North America, where coal power plants have been operating for a number of decades and where increasing environmental regulations are placing pressure on companies to reduce their output of harmful emissions. In the case of the US, the decommissioning market will also be driven by the shale gas revolution, which is making coal power plants less economic than cleaner gas powered plants. According to Visiongain's analysis, the global coal power decommissioning market will be worth $1.08bn in 2013. This includes all costs involved with the investigation, design, decontamination, demolition and closeout of plants.
