NEWTON-EVANS RESEARCH COMPANY

Newton-Evans Research Company is a marketing research and consulting business, focused on measuring electrical utility markets for a variety of technology and instrumentation equipment. The company believes that relevant, timely utility-based market information enables the world community of systems suppliers to formulate appropriate product and marketing strategies.

In 1984, Newton-Evans Research Company conducted its first comprehensive research program providing a clear view of the different major systems, equipment and services market opportunities for the computer, communications, control systems and related equipment, and software within the American electric utility industry. Since that time, Newton-Evans has conducted hundreds of public and private surveys of the world’s leading utilities concerning this equipment and software, as well as a host of other utility automation topics.

Newton-Evans’ Distribution Generation: A Utility Perspective is a multiclient study which encompasses the world market for distributed generation in the electric utility industry. This series of reports is the first worldwide study of distribution generation that Newton-Evans has undertaken. Respondents to this survey are utility specifiers, engineers, and managers from investor-owned, public power and rural electric cooperatives within the United States. Other geographic regions covered include Canada, Europe, the Pacific Basin, Latin America, and the Mideast, Mediterranean and African markets.

The response to this study has yielded important information enabling Newton-Evans Research to prepare this three-volume series with five-year outlooks for domestic and international utility-involved DG programs.

Data collected from this study is presented in the text and analysis, and again visually through the use of many presentation-quality charts and graphs like those below.
