transition continues to be an important driver of demand.
According to BNEF, global investment in the energy transition
reached USD 1.8 trillion in 2023, a new high that is up 17%
from 2022 and is largely due to increased investments in
renewable energy, electric vehicles, and hydrogen. Demand
for thermal balancing is expected to continue to be driven by
these investments and given the historical relationship
between installed renewables capacity and demand for
thermal balancing, market sentiment is positive. The baseload
segment continued to be a strong source of demand for
thermal power and represented about half of the addressable
market in 2023. Reciprocating engines remain an important
source of baseload generation, particularly in remote locations
and other locations where access to grid power is uncertain.
Baseload generation demand is expected to remain stable and
continue to complement the growing demand for renewable
balancing.

*Global orders include prime movers over 5 MW in size in up to 400 MW gas turbine plants and engine plants of all sizes. The gas turbine data is
gathered from the McCoy Power Report and is reported with a one quarter delay due to data availability. Engine data is collected from press

from earlier discontinued businesses.
