EC/IST FP6 Project No 026920 Work Package: 6 Type of document: Report Date: 20.12.2007 File name: OP_WP6_D37_V1.0.doc Version: 1.0 Title: Worldwide Market Research Report 26 / 356 1 PURPOSE The purpose of this report is twofold: (1) to provide an update of PLC activity in Western Europe in terms of the penetration of services offered; the services being those identified in OPERA I, and (2) to provide an overview of PLC developments outside of Western Europe. The regions reviewed are Eastern Europe, Asia, the Americas and Africa. 2 INTRODUCTION Since the inception of the OPERA project by the EU, most attention has been focused on PLC development in Europe. As the focus on most of the early significant PLC developments was on Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, a knowledge gap regarding the PLC developments in the rest of the world became apparent, had to be closed. Before proceeding to the rest of the world, OPERA II was asked to determine to what extent PLC-based services identified in OPERA I had been introduced into the Western European markets. This review of the experience gained to date (since the conclusion of OPERA I ) was required as it might impact the development of a modified Business Plan (D32- Amendments and Revisions to the Business Plan ) in OPERA Phase II. As such, a survey of the services was produced for the D32 Business Plan report, which was submitted on June 30, 2007. This section is again reproduced in this report, see section 4. The remaining sections of this report address the development in Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas. The size of these regions/countries to be reviewed, the different regulatory environments for electric power utilities (on both country and state level), the varying quality and volume of infrastructures, differing focus on PLC applications and varying stages of preoccupation with the subject of PLC mandated differing approaches in describing the PLC activities in these heterogeneous regions. Similar as for the Western European services survey, response to information requests for specific PLC experience in
EC/IST FP6 Project No 026920 Work Package: 6 Type of document: Report Date: 20.12.2007 File name: OP_WP6_D37_V1.0.doc Version: 1.0 Title: Worldwide Market Research Report 27 / 356 the above named regions/countries was modest at best. Different information sources had thus be used. The following approaches were used: � Eastern Europe: Internet research � Africa: combination actual projects and Internet research � Asia: individual major country-level projects � South America: major utility experience � USA: focus on the regulatory progress This is a research report. Therefore the report is very long, particularly the sections on Africa and Eastern Europe. As relatively little concrete and complete information could be obtained and PLC activity varies from region to region, statistics on the power utility industries, the IT/ telecommunication industries and services, as well as a discussion of the regulatory and policy environments have been included in some depth for some regions. This statistical research material may be of interest to those companies venturing into “underdeveloped” PLC regions – and thus serves to provide an overview of those environments in which PLC holds most promise. "This report does not purport to contain the most correct and up-to-date information, as the research material stems from a number of external sources. Therefore the authors of this report cannot be held responsible for the complete correctness and up-to-dateness of the information provided. Greatest care was exercised in identifying and using the latest information." 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY There is significant PLC development activity in the technical and application areas throughout the world. The development status and focus for the use of PLC differs somewhat from region to region today.
