Energy & Power Industry UpdateFebruary 2011

What We’ve Been Reading

page 1

• GigaOm and Greentech Media provide two different anecdotal data points on utility

companies’ transition towards the “smart grid” and an increasingly digital business model.

GigaOm’s Katie Fehrenbach features an interview with Reliant Energy President Jason Few

at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show (“CES”) in Las Vegas where Apple, Google, and

Microsoft generated the majority of headlines. Regarding Reliance’s presence at CES, Few

offered a new, different view on the utility and its business model. “We are in the energy

sector, but we see ourselves as a consumer services company,” remarked Few. This

forward-looking perspective contrasts with Greentech Media’s “Want to Learn About the

Smart Grid? Don’t Call Your Utility,” which highlights a recent thesis from a Purdue

University undergraduate student who called more than 100 utilities regarding their smart

grid technology deployments to find a dearth of available knowledge and understanding of

the industry’s pending transition. Read the respective articles here and here.

• As noted in our Transmission and Distribution Infrastructure White Paper, the connection

of renewable resources to the power grid is projected to be a major driver of U.S. T&D

infrastructure investment. However, utilities continue to encounter NIMBY-ism for new

transmission projects. The New York Times highlights the issue in “Lack of Transmission

Lines Is Restricting Wind Power,” which highlights the CREZ project in Texas, one of the

largest U.S. transmission projects in decades aimed at incorporating newly installed wind

generation resources in West Texas. During particularly windy periods, wind turbines now

have to be shut down because there is not enough transmission capacity to transport the

power. While CREZ continues to move forward, the article highlights what will continue

to be an issue for utility transmission projects and, as a result, the incorporation of

renewable energy resources in the grid. Read the article here.

• The Wall Street Journal highlights Exxon’s latest release of its Outlook for Energy: A View

to 2030, which projects an increasingly prominent role for natural gas in meeting the

world’s energy needs. In the new forecast, Exxon raised its 2030 natural gas consumption

forecast from 2009 by 7 quadrillion Btu, which raises natural gas share of global energy

consumption to 26%, above coal but below oil, which, at 32% of 2030 global consumption,

Exxon predicts will remain the world’s primary energy source. Read the WSJ summary

here.

• In his State of the Union address, President Obama set an aggressive (and broadly defined)

goal for the U.S. to get 80% of its energy from “clean” sources by 2035. For those

familiar with penetration rates of renewable energy sources like wind and solar, the target

could only make sense within the context of his follow up statement, “Some folks want

wind and solar. Others want nuclear, clean coal, and natural gas. To meet this goal, we

will need them all.” With the inclusion of coal, nuclear, and natural gas, the impact of the

President’s plan on cleantech is less clear, which Greentech Media examines here.

Industry Observations

LTM Indexed Stock Performance1

Indexed LTM EBITDA Multiples1

• The Infrastructure and Industrial Services stock index has experienced a resurgence from its

twelve-month low in August 2010, though it continues to trade at a relatively low valuation.

• Commodity prices have rebounded as the economic recovery fuels demand.

– The North American Rotary Rig Count climbed to 2,108 rigs in December, an 80% year-

over-year increase.

– Electricity continues to demonstrate seasonality and currently trades at $59.95 MWg,

representing a 55.7% increase from its one-year low in January 2010 but a 33.1%

decrease off its year one-year high in July 2010.
