Taiwan Renewables Report Q3 2013
BMI View: Our 2013 forecasts for non-hydropower renewable energy generation in Taiwan remains unchanged from the previous quarter. We expect solar energy generation to experience the fastest growth among the various renewable sources as it is starting from a significantly lower base. We have also maintained our long-term forecasts due to a lack of progress in one of the country’s two main offshore wind energy projects. We maintain our forecast that non-hydropower renewable energy generation in Taiwan will grow by 4.9% y-o-y in 2013. Read More | View Original Article
BMI View: There is little prospect of change in Botswana’s power market in the short term. With ample domestic supplies of coal, the country has the potential to become a regional exporter of energy. However, ageing infrastructure and delays to expansion projects are holding back Botswana’s potential – Morupule B’s capacity is subjected to continual delays, while Morupule A produces only a fraction of the electricity that the country requires and is in need of refurbishment.

Brazil Renewables Report Q3 2013
BMI View: The potential completion of grid infrastructure for four wind parks before the end of this year, as well as the progress made on the projects awarded by the country through major auctions during and before 2010 have led us to revise up our 2013 forecasts for non-hydropower renewable energy generation. We have also revised up our medium-term forecasts based on the project pipeline, but have downgraded our long-term forecasts to account for a higher base and disappointing results in the 2012 power auctions.

BMI View: Canada’s mining sector will remain one of the consistent growth stories in the Americas region thanks to diversified mineral deposits and a steady pipeline of investment. The country is a top 10 global producer of zinc, lead, iron ore, nickel, copper, gold, silver, uranium and potash. With many companies both headquartered and producing in Canada, the mining sector is crucial to the Canadian economy. Thus, we expect Canada’s political leadership to maintain favourable tax and regulatory policies for the sector. Read More | View Original Article
Central Africa Mining Report Q3 2013
Central Africa’s mining sector is set to follow much of the continent by developing its substantial mineral wealth. The region is still far from achieving its full potential, but these recent developments could indicate a changing tide for these three countries and indicate that the mining sector is set for sustained lift-off. However, many of the issues that have held back the region from achieving its potential for much of its history remain. Read More | View Original Article
Japan Oil and Gas Report Q3 2013
BMI View: Japan’s consumption of imported oil and natural gas has increased as a result of nuclear power generation losses in the wake of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. Over the longer term, a reassessment of energy strategy means nuclear will play a less prominent role and, inevitably, gas will have to make up part of the shortfall. This suggests Japan will become a still bigger player in global liquefied natural gas purchasing. Furthermore, the country is likely to ramp up its investments in overseas oil and gas assets as well as devote more energy to finding resources back at … Read More | View Original Article
BMI View: Similarly to its neighbours, Kenya’s power sector is characterised by a capacity deficit, whereby at peak demand there is insufficient supply to meet expanding consumer demand. In addition, over reliance on hydropower has exposed the country to chronic power shortages, especially in the dry season, making expensive emergency diesel-fired power generation a necessity.

Mozambique Power Report Q3 2013
BMI View: As one of the most attractive markets in the Sub-Saharan Africa region, Mozambique has ample natural resources to encourage direct foreign investment. In its power sector, the country is heavily dependent upon hydroelectricity, its Cahora Bassa dam producing a large proportion of power, but plans for the installation of a gas-fired power station should help redefine the electricity mix, if it begins operations as planned in 2014.

Taiwan Oil and Gas Report Q3 2013
BMI View: Plans are presently under way to begin deepwater exploration off Taiwan’s south-western coast in the South China Sea. Meanwhile, a growing appetite for imported gas has created a need for fresh liquefied natural gas purchase schemes, with Australian and Qatari volumes on the rise and Papua New Guinea set to become a new source of supply.
