预计北美核子反应炉退役市场在预测期内将以超过 9% 的复合年增长率成长。

北美核电反应器退役-市场-IMG1

2020 年,市场受到 COVID-19 大流行的负面影响。目前市场处于大流行前的水平。

主要亮点

  • 从中期来看,退役核子反应炉数量的增加预计将推动北美核子反应炉退役市场的成长。
  • 另一方面,组串式逆变器的技术缺陷预计将阻碍预测期内的市场成长。
  • 美国和加拿大等国家的核能淘汰措施可能会在预测期内为北美核子反应炉退役市场提供利润丰厚的成长机会。
  • 美国在市场上占据主导地位,并且可能在预测期内实现最高的复合年增长率。这一增长是由于越来越多的旧核能发电厂除役所致。

北美核子反应炉退役市场趋势

商业动力反应炉预计将主导市场

  • 商业动力反应炉是主要用于发电的核子反应炉。这些核子反应炉大部分位于核能发电厂。来自太阳能和风能的可再生能源更便宜和清洁,增加了安装这些核子反应炉的需求。
  • 美国和加拿大等该地区国家正在退役老旧过时的核能发电厂,这可能会在预测期内推动北美核子反应炉除役市场的发展。
  • 2021年北美核能发电总量为923.0兆瓦时(TWh),与2020年大致持平,即940.1 TWh。该地区核能曲线停滞或平坦表明该地区核子反应炉除役超过了新核能发电厂安装速度。
  • 2022 年 5 月,Entergy 公司关闭了密西根湖的帕利塞兹核电厂。核电厂发电能力为80万千瓦。燃料从核子反应炉容器中取出并放入乏燃料池中进行冷却。冷却后,燃料被运送到发电厂现场安全、独立的乏燃料仓储设施。该公司还计划在 2041 年完成除役​​的退役。
  • 因此,这些因素可能导致商业动力反应器产业在预测期内主导北美核子反应炉退役市场。

预计美国将主导市场

  • 美国是全球最大的核能发电国之一,2021年约占全球核能发电量的30%。 2021年该国核子反应炉发电量为778.15兆瓦时(TWh),与前一年同期比较去年同期小幅成长0.35%。老化核能发电厂退役的准备工作预计将推动核子反应炉除役市场的发展。
  • 2021年,美国核能发电厂发电量约为778.15兆瓦时,为十年来最低水准。自 1990 年达到高峰 112 座以来,核子反应炉数量一直在减少。
  • 过去十年,低成本页岩气发电的激烈竞争导致国内核能发电产业竞争力下降。创纪录的低批发电价和高成本延长(PLEX)升级也导致核电厂提前退役。
  • 随着美国核能发电时代的结束,核能发电厂除役正成为一个重要的产业。私人公司收购了这些工厂并接管了它们的许可证、责任、除役资金和废弃物合约。大约 41 座核子反应炉已关闭,总合容量为 19.97 GWe,最新的是密西根州帕利塞兹核电厂,该核电厂于 2022 年 5 月关闭。 2021年12月,Holtec International收购了密西根州科维特市的Palisades核电厂,并获得美国核能管理委员会批准除役和拆除。预计到 2030 年还将关闭另外 198 座核子反应炉。
  • 美国的核子反应炉正在老化。美国美国核能管理委员会(NRC) 正在考虑透过后续许可证更新 (SLR) 计划将运行许可证延长 60 至 80 年的申请。然而,一些核电厂业主最近选择在 45 至 50 年内提前退休。
  • 由于这些因素,预计美国将在预测期内主导北美核子反应炉退役市场。

北美核子反应炉退役产业概况

北美核子反应炉退役市场适度分散。市场主要企业包括(排名不分先后)Babcock International Group PLC、NorthStar Group Services Inc.、James Fisher & Sons PLC、Fluor Corporation 和 Enercon Services Inc.。

The North America Nuclear Power Reactor Decommissioning Market is expected to register a CAGR of greater than 9% during the forecast period.

North America Nuclear Power Reactor Decommissioning - Market - IMG1

The market was negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Presently, the market has reached pre-pandemic levels.

Key Highlights

  • Over the medium term, an increasing number of nuclear reactors reaching operational retirement is expected to drive the growth of the nuclear power reactor decommissioning market in North America.
  • On the other hand, technical drawbacks of string inverters are expected to hamper the growth of the market during the forecast period.
  • Nuclear phase-out policies in countries such as the United States and Canada will likely create lucrative growth opportunities for the North American nuclear power reactor decommissioning market during the forecast period.
  • The United States dominates the market and is likely to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This growth is attributed to the increasing decommissioning of its old nuclear plants.

North America Nuclear Power Reactor Decommissioning Market Trends

Commercial Power Reactor Expected to Dominate the Market

  • Commercial power reactors are nuclear reactors mainly used for generating electricity. Most of these reactors are being installed in nuclear power plants. Renewable energy from solar and wind is much cheaper and cleaner, thus increasing the demand for installing these reactors.
  • The countries in the region, such as the United States and Canada, are decommissioning their old and outdated nuclear power plants, which may drive the North American nuclear power reactor decommissioning market during the forecast period.
  • In 2021, North America's total electricity produced by nuclear energy was 923.0 terawatt-hours (TWh), almost the same as in 2020, i.e., 940.1 TWh. The slow-growing or flatness of the nuclear energy curve in the region shows that the nuclear power reactors' decommissioning will surpass the installation of new nuclear plants in the region.
  • In May 2022, Entergy Corporation shut down its Palisades nuclear plant on Lake Michigan. The nuclear power plant had an 800 MW power generation capacity. The fuel was removed from the reactor's vessel and placed in the spent fuel pool to cool. After the cooling process, the fuel will be transported to the secured Independent Spent Fuel Storage Facility on the station property. The company also aims to complete the decommissioning of the nuclear plant by 2041.
  • Hence, due to such factors, the commercial power reactor sector may dominate the North American nuclear power reactor decommissioning market during the forecast period.

United States Expected to Dominate the Market

  • The United States is one of the largest nuclear power producers globally, accounting for almost 30% of the global nuclear power generated in 2021. The country's nuclear reactors produced 778.15 terawatt hours (TWh) of electricity in 2021, representing a slight increase of 0.35% over the previous year's value. The ready-to-retire old nuclear plants are likely to drive the nuclear power reactor decommissioning market.
  • In 2021, nuclear power plants in the United States generated around 778.15 terawatt hours of electricity, the lowest output recorded in one decade. The number of nuclear power reactors has been decreasing since 1990, when it peaked at 112 units.
  • Over the past decade, intense competition from electricity generation using low-cost shale gas has hurt the competitiveness of the country's nuclear power industry. Record low wholesale electricity prices and the high cost of life extension (PLEX) upgrades have also led to early nuclear plant retirements.
  • As the era of nuclear power in the United States comes to an end, the decommissioning of nuclear power plants is becoming a significant industry. Private companies are acquiring these plants, taking over their licenses, liability, decommissioning funds, and waste contracts. Around 41 reactors with a combined capacity of 19.97 GWe were shut down, with the latest being the Palisades nuclear plant in Michigan, which shut down in May 2022. In December 2021, HoltecInternational received approval from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to acquire the Palisades plant in Covert, Michigan, to decommission and dismantle the plant. An additional 198 reactors are expected to shut down by 2030.
  • The nuclear reactor fleet of the United States is now aging. The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering applications for extending operating licenses beyond 60-80 years with its subsequent license renewal (SLR) program. However, some plant owners recently opted for early retirements of their nuclear units at 45-50 years.
  • Hence, due to such factors, the United States is expected to dominate the North American nuclear power reactor decommissioning market during the forecast period.
