Power rental is the facility to hire a power source to provide to an industrial unit or wherever required. Power rental has a number of benefits over the other solutions available for the same purpose. The key advantages of a power rental solution over its counterparts is that it gives the customer a significant level of flexibility in the power rating that can be given, moreover, it has almost negligible installation and maintenance costs. Additionally, a key factor that has been driving the market of power rental is the fact that they are readily available on short notices which has proved to be noticeably beneficial for a number of firms. Moreover, power rental is not just used for particular companies but also for the events that happen all around the world as it is costlier to buy a whole new source of power which might be useless after the event wraps up and thus this proves to be a more efficient option for the organizers. The market of power rental is also fuelled by the growth of oil & gas projects around the globe which requires power for a particular period of time during exploration or production.

The advent of COVID-19 had an adverse impact on the market since the pandemic brough the activities in various industries to a standstill including all the oil & gas, construction and mining projects across several countries and slowed the growth of the power rental market to a significant level in the year 2020. With the industries getting back on the track and recovering after suffering losses due to the pandemic, major activities like production and exploration have resumed. The growth of the power rental market is expected to show gradual increase initially but is expected to witness rapid growth after the industries resume full-fledged activities in the coming years.

Increasing demand of power supply in the oil & gas sector

The increasing demand of powers supply owing to a significant number of upcoming projects in the oil & gas sector is expected to drive the market in the coming years as such projects and operations take place in remote locations. Furthermore, the increasing need to reduce the operational expenditure and increase the marginal profits have made the plants to adopt the power rental solutions. With the dynamism in the prices of oil and other similar fuels, sometimes it becomes difficult to make profit through the prices and thus these plants prefer to opt for cutting down operational expenditure which further leads them to opt for power rental solutions. Moreover, the demand for a continuous power supply in this sector has increased over the years with vast upcoming projects in the sector. 

Expansion in the power distribution networks might restraint the growth

The power grids in several countries has witnessed a significant rise in their sizes with developing more interconnected power networks across the country. This factor is expected to inhibit the growth of the power rental market as the need of power rental solutions will diminish if the network is spread wide enough to reach the locations of production plants. For instance, according to the Canadian Electricity Association, there are about 35 electric transmission interconnections between the United States and Canada with other cross-border projects in different stages of development.

Middle East & Africa to witness a promising growth

Geographically, the Middle East & Africa region is expected to grow at a significant CAGR of x% during the forecast period owing to noticeable amount of upcoming projects in the region. Several countries in the region have ample number of oil & gas projects lined up which in turn is expected to fuel the market of power rentals in the region. For instance, a major gas refinery project  costing  US$ 13 Billion is in the process of development in Iran and is expected to be one of the biggest gas field in the world. With such a large scale project the requirement of energy sources would be huge given the project will be talking place in a remote location in the country.
