    Industry Analysis & Industry Trends

    Companies in the Wind and Other Electricity Generation industry use a range of renewable inputs to generate electricity. The industry has flourished over the past five years, as multiple government incentives designed to promote renewable energy generation and investment have supported capacity growth. Industry revenue is expected to grow at an annualised 9.3% over the five years through 2016-17, to $2.2 billion. Similar to other electricity generation industries, the introduction and subsequent repeal of the carbon tax has contributed to revenue volatility over the past five years.

    Industry Report - Industry Key Buyers Chapter

    The industry displays a medium market concentration. In 2016-17, the four largest companies in the industry are estimated to account for just over 40% of total revenue. Industry concentration has increased over the past five years. Major players such as AGL Energy and Infigen Energy have increased their operating capacity and electricity output over this period.

    With the current mix of regulation and policy, many players that are active in other areas of the electricity sector are being compelled to invest in renewable generation. Over the past five years, this trend has caused many players to enter the industry through small-scale projects and joint ventures. There has also been a trend towards larger projects, such as the recently completed Macarthur wind farm in Victoria.
