Power Predictor Ed 7 2010 is an ABS product that is made up of a report and an Excel database. Power Predictor Ed 7 2010 contains a wealth of new data and analysis. The database has been significantly expanded and has more detailed analysis of thermal energy sources – coal, oil and gas, and detailed analysis of renewables – hydro, wind, solar thermal, solar PV, geothermal, ocean/tidal energy, biomass, MSW and other waste. Power Predictor is an up-date which shows quite a few changes in future projected generating capacity and that the industry is changing rapidly. Technology is moving very fast in response to concerns about security of fuel supply, environmental issues and fuel prices, together with strong political backing and large subsidies to the renewables industries paid for by the consumer. The ABS team has researched national plans further and evaluated them.
