Newly released market study: Qatar Power Report Q4 2015

The Qatari power sector is set for strong growth over the coming decade as the government continues to spend heavily on new infrastructure projects, while domestic energy consumption continues to grow. Despite the recent dip in international oil prices, which has curtailed the country 's willingness to invest, spending on power infrastructure is likely to remain relatively high for the foreseeable future, particularly as the emirate invests in infrastructure in preparation for the FIFA World Cup in 2022. With the economy in good shape, and demand for power likely to continue rising over the next few years, the electricity sector is in good stead.

The outlook for the domestic power sector in Qatar remains bright. Although the fall in international oil and gas prices has forced the government to scale back plans to build a huge USD3bn power plant, known as Ras Laffan D, we retain a positive outlook for the sector, with healthy fiscal coffers and growing demand for power likely to keep government spending high for the coming years. Although Qatar is attempting to reorient its power sector towards the use of solar power and other renewable sources, for the time being the emirate remains almost entirely dependent on natural gas for its energy. With the economy continuing to grow at a robust pace, and the government anxious to ensure that the country is ready for the 2022 World Cup, this is likely to remain the case for the foreseeable future. While such dependence on a single source of fuel for electricity generation would typically be a concern, given the emirate's vast supplies of natural gas and the government's deep pockets, it is difficult to envisage a scenario where this dependence translates into any serious risks for the sector's outlook any time soon.
