Dublin, Aug. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Project Insight - Global Power Generation Construction Projects (Q2 2026)" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global power generation construction project pipeline is valued at approximately $8.28 trillion, demonstrating substantial long-term investment potential across renewable energy, conventional generation, capacity expansion and grid-related infrastructure. Based on tracked projects worldwide, the report provides comprehensive analysis of project values, development stages, funding structures, regional activity and leading industry participants.
Projects in the pre-planning and planning stages represent 62.7% of the total global pipeline value. This concentration reflects sustained investor interest and a strong outlook for future power generation infrastructure development. Projects currently under execution account for 23.1% of pipeline value, while the remaining 14.2% is associated with projects in the pre-execution stage, including detailed engineering, tendering and engineering, procurement and construction contract awards.
Wind power remains the largest segment within the global power generation project pipeline. Wind energy projects account for approximately 39% of total project value, equivalent to $3.26 trillion. If completed as planned, these developments could add nearly 1,855 GW of new power generation capacity worldwide. The scale of the wind project pipeline highlights continued investment in onshore and offshore developments as governments, utilities and private-sector operators pursue energy security, decarbonization and generation diversification objectives.
Solar photovoltaic projects form the second-largest technology segment, representing 16% of the global pipeline. Valued at approximately $1.32 trillion, the identified solar PV projects could deliver an estimated 1,324 GW of additional capacity. Continued growth in utility-scale solar development is creating opportunities for project owners, engineering firms, equipment suppliers, construction contractors and investors across both established and emerging power markets.
Hydropower accounts for approximately 15% of the total pipeline value, with projects worth an estimated $1.21 trillion. The global hydropower construction pipeline has the potential to add around 824 GW of capacity. Planned investment includes major developments intended to strengthen power supply, support system flexibility and expand access to reliable electricity.
