Spain's electricity market is struggling in the face of an unclear regulatory environment and a sluggish economy. Keen to cut costs, the government wants to reduce renewable energy subsidies, but it risks the wrath of providers who invested in the market expecting high returns. At the other end of the scale, major utilities have long been demanding increases in electricity prices to plug the gap between the cost of generation and the prices paid by end-users, but proposals for an 11% increase in January 2014 were rejected by the country's newly created regulator. In the face of this confusion, some players may simply choose to invest elsewhere. E.ON is one example of this, with press reports from late 2013 suggesting that the German utility is keen to sell its assets in Spain.

The Algerian petrochemicals industry is set for a surge in capacity this year with two new petrochemicals complexes due to come onstream, turning the country into a net exporter of certain polymers and methanol, according to BMI's latest Algeria Petrochemicals Report.

Progress on expansion of the Venezuelan petrochemicals industry has been slow and undermined by the government's policy in upstream sectors that provide feedstock and its general indifference to improving the investment climate, according to BMI's latest Venezuela Petrochemicals Report.

In 2012, the industrial production index for chemicals declined 0.7% on average, while for rubber and plastic products it plummeted an average of 9.0%, compared with growth of 0.2% and -1.5% respectively in 2011. In the first four months of 2013, the chemicals production index fell by a further 7.3% while the rubber and plastics index fell by 5.0%. This signalled a deterioration of chemical and petrochemicals performance in H113. Although there was an uptick in April, the operating environment has not changed radically to support a sustained recovery.

Over the medium term, the United States will see capacity growth led by new ethane-fed crackers that exploit growing shale gas output, much of it coming on stream in 2017, according to BMI's latest US Petrochemicals Report. In total, 7.34mn tpa of new cracker capacity is confirmed within the next five years with proposals for over 10mn tpa more cracker capacity, although some of this may not materialise.

Italy is trying hard to appeal to international investors, with the government reorganising its holdings in gas and power grid networks, and signing investment fund agreements with potential trade partners, such as Russia. But the country is still suffering in the face of economic challenges, and the austerity measures proposed to turn the economy around are unpopular. As such, it is of little surprise that firms such as E.ON are reconsidering their role in Italy's electricity market. In addition, the sluggish economic performance is also having an impact on electricity consumption levels - we have lowered our forecasts this quarter. In the short term at least, we forecast that the renewable energy sector and transmission and distribution projects present the best opportunities for growth.

BMI's latest Taiwan Petrochemicals Report foresees a worrying trend for Taiwanese petrochemicals producers to move investment in basic chemicals to mainland China and South East Asia. Unless Taiwan can diversify and specialise to add value to the olefins production it currently possesses, the industry is likely to fall behind and lose its competitive edge.

We currently expect hydrocarbons production to continue its upward trajectory in Bolivia over the medium term; however, we are pricing in a slowdown in growth toward the end of the decade. Namely, while the country's oil and gas sector has largely weathered broader concerns related to the business environment, the threat of resource nationalism remains a risk, as does a fairly weak reserve position, encouraging a more tempered long-term outlook. Of the two hydrocarbons, we believe gas has a brighter future, with the redevelopment of producing fields and increased investment into new exploration to bolster output. With regards to liquids, condensate volumes from gas production presents upside potential and we note significant short-term growth from the bringing online of natural gas liquids separators. We believe though, that maturing crude fields suggest potential for a slowdown in growth over the longer term.

The South Korean petrochemicals market will suffer from weak growth in automotive, construction and retail segments, according to BMI's latest South Korea Petrochemicals Report. Korean petrochemicals production will therefore depend on exports, which should be shored up by the country's trade deal with China that gives it an advantage over competitors like Taiwan and should help absorb the large increases in Korean aromatics capacities in the years ahead. However, the US's surge in petrochemicals growth based on rising shale gas exploitation will pose a major challenge to Korea's naphtha-fed industry, leading to a potential squeeze in margins.

BMI View: Our upbeat view of Saudi Arabia's power sector is predicated on our comparatively robust macroeconomic forecasts for the Kingdom as well as the fact it is advancing some of the Middle East's most ambitious power sector capacity expansion plans. With the Kingdom holding a fifth of the world's oil reserves, we emphasise that it is not only attempting to boost electricity generating capacity in order to service rapid growth in demand from its youthful and growing domestic population, but it is also attempting to expand and modify its power generation mix in order to guarantee that oil is prioritised for lucrative export for years to come. Ensuring that the kingdom maintains its outsized role in global oil production is essential to Saudi Arabia's energy policy and has resulted in concerted moves to utilise greater volumes of gas in power generation, as well as nuclear, renewables and the implementation of measures to enhance energy efficiency.
