More growth expected for diesel generators

South Africa’s diesel generator market is expected to grow at a compound yearly growth rate of more than 2% from 2020 to 2025, according to a report released this year by research organisation Mordor Intelligence.   Factors such as an increase in throughput of peaking plants and demand for uninterrupted and reliable power supply are expected to boost the market. However, the availability of cleaner energy alternatives and the advancement of battery technologies may restrain market growth during the forecast period, the report claims.
