7 Utilities Business Analysis Product Life Cycle Mature - Lowered Costs as a result of production volume - Higher Sales Volume - High Competition among firms

8 Utilities Business Analysis External Factors - Potential Supply Shortages - Commodity Price Fluctuations - Weather Conditions - Ex. Temperature Changes affect power generation and supply - Infrastructure Concerns - Damage to Utilities production and distribution - Ex. Power Outages

9 Utilities Business Analysis Supply Factors - CO2 Emissions will influence future - EPA Regulations - Legislation Cap and Trade for instance - Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) - Political Instability (Investment Decisions going forward) - Cost of Commodities - Natural Gas and Fossil Fuels Volatility - Difficult to Predict and therefore represents an unknown - Potential Competition - Alternative Energy Sources - Ex. Solar and Wind - Political Influence - Subsidies for alternative energy sources from Government

10 Utilities Business Analysis Demand Factors Programs to reduce domestic demand Advertising campaigns to limit energy use Moderating growth in developed economies More energy efficiencies More conservative use Strong growth in emerging economies Could increase demand

11 Utilities Business Analysis Strengths Strong dividend amongst most utilities companies Steady growth with less volatility Product necessity Weaknesses Heavily regulated industry Changes in technology Aging infrastructure Government intervention making international expansion difficult

12 Utilities Business Analysis Geography and Users - Largely based on population - Larger geographic areas have larger Energy Consumption - Areas with more manufacturing have higher consumption Texas Energy Consumption by State California Florida 9% Ohio 7% 6% Pennsylvania 4% New York 52% 4% Illinois Georgia North Carolina Michigan 3% 3% 3% 4% 4% All other States

13 Utilities Business Analysis Five Forces Analysis Threat of New Entry (Low) - High Fixed Costs - Upfront Capital - Regulatory Approval - Brand Name Recognition is difficult to build Supplier Power (Low) - Dominated by handful of firms - Significant power over generational companies - Leverage reduced due to wide spread of players (small shares) Buyer Power (High) - Power Treated as a commodity - Highly competitive pricing and service - Commercial buyers have significant leverage

14 Utilities Business Analysis Five Forces Analysis (continued) Substitutes (Low) - Power is a necessity, therefore little substitute - Power is inelastic, not much change due to price - No alternative to Natural gas, but alternative ways to generate Competitive Rivalry (High) - Very competitive - Fight for Market Share for economies of scale - Mainly competitive in the form of lowered prices - Profitability drops
