PIRA Energy Group’s Weekly Natural Gas, Power and Coal Market Recap for the Week Ending March 24, 2013
New York, NY (PRWEB) March 27, 2013
NYC-based PIRA Energy Group reports that the recent drop in Asian LNG spot prices confirms PIRA’s belief that the seasonal dip in 2Q13 Asian LNG demand would cut into spot prices. In the U.S., year-on-year gas storage deficits are on track to be significant by the end of March. In Europe, gas demand is above normal in weather-sensitive areas. Specifically, PIRA’s analysis of natural gas market fundamentals has revealed the following:
*Seasonal Dip in 2Q13 Asian Demand to Cut into Spot Prices
The recent drop in Asian spot prices confirms PIRA’s view from the last two months that the seasonal dip in second quarter Asian demand would cut into spot prices. However, this dip is only part of the story, with an equal share of the attribution going to the sudden rise in European spot prices due to a winter that seemingly will not end. Combine these two factors and PIRA believes that a shift in LNG volumes back to Europe, the Mideast, and South America and away from Asia will be occurring in the next few months.
*Storage Deficits on Track to Be Significant Year-onYear
Storage deficits are on track to be significant year-on-year by end-March. As a result, end-October storage would even fall below those carryouts marred by hurricane impacts in 2005 and 2008, without faster year-on-year builds during the injection season. More realistically, PIRA expects much narrower end-October storage deficits, and that is where higher Henry Hub prices must come into play. The cannibalization of coal-fired electricity generation in 2012 by cheap gas needs to be substantially reversed. But, there are constraints to the reduction of storage deficits including minimal production growth and lower net imports, suggesting that supply will not cause deficit reductions.
*Demand above Normal in Weather-Sensitive Areas
PIRA’s 10-day outlook shows demand being consistently and strongly above normal in weather-sensitive areas. The duration of this cold snap has reached a tipping point in the PIRA outlook, where it is not only influencing PIRA’s view of the next month or quarter, but also the balance of the year. Building in the 10-day forecast, which remains exceedingly cold, PIRA’s projection for the effect of weather on demand in March will top the amount above what would otherwise be normal.
NYC-based PIRA Energy Group reports that there was additional weakness in international coal pricing last week. In the U.S., coal inventories appear to be falling, except in Southeast and Southwest-central. In Europe, EEX German day-ahead electricity power prices have exhibited a considerable volatility. Specifically, PIRA’s analysis of electricity and coal market fundamentals has revealed the following:
*Additional Weakness in Coal Pricing
Coal prices continued to push markedly lower last week, with returning Colombian supply coupled with concerns over the Cyprus bailout combining for additional bearish sentiment. The weakness has manifested into a significantly wider contango, with sellers pricing prompt supply at levels to entice buyers to build stockpiles. Additionally, this weakness should cause a contraction in export supply in the Atlantic Basin in particular, as prices are below costs in some areas.
*U.S. Inventories Appear to be Falling Except in Southeast & Southwest-Central
PIRA estimates that U.S. coal stocks continued to decline in March on a year-over-year basis. Inventories appear to be falling in all regions except the Southeast and the Southwest-Central, a contrast from last year at this time. Cuts in coal production appear to be the driving force, though coal burns are up seasonally as well.
*EEX German Day-Ahead Power Prices Exhibit Considerable Volatility
With renewable generation growing at double digit year-on-year rates so far in March, EEX German day-ahead power prices have exhibited a considerable volatility, in spite of generally colder weather conditions. PIRA’s Daily Renewable Generation Forecasts report calls for declining wind generation in the upcoming 10 days, but PIRA estimates that the amount of reliable capacity needed in the upcoming 10 days is set to narrow, challenging ramping capabilities of conventional plants.

HVAC (Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning) Market Forecast 2022 in New Research Report at ReportsnReports.com
Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) December 10, 2012
The U.S. market for heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) manufacturing is recovering from a period of economic setback that started with the great U.S. recession of 2008. HVAC manufacturers had previously enjoyed a period of steady growth between 1997 to 2006 when equipment sales for heating systems and air conditioners increased 41% and 45%, respectively. But the economic downturn brought with it a stalled housing market, a stoppage of new home and commercial construction initiatives, and massive layoffs at factories that manufacture HVAC equipment market.
The year 2012 represents a pivotal point for HVAC companies that are seeking to capitalize on market opportunities domestic and abroad, as well as secure long-term contracts and borrow cash at low interest rates to fund capital investments. Meanwhile, the U.S. government continues to ignite the economic recovery by funding projects that invest in rebuilding the U.S. infrastructure.
In September, U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced awards totaling more than $ 76 million in funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to support advanced energy-efficient building technology projects and the development of training programs for commercial building equipment technicians, building operators, and energy auditors. The 58 projects will help make the nation’s buildings more energy efficient and cost-effective. They will also support programs to train workers to service and operate new and existing buildings, to develop and deploy best practices resulting in fewer greenhouse gas emissions, and to establish a green workforce with technical expertise to reduce energy costs for consumers. These projects are considered a major spark to ignite HVAC manufacturing and lead to renewed confidence that shipments will increase. Still, many HVAC manufacturers are greeting the end of 2012 with cautious optimism as they await the outcome of the U.S. Presidential election. SBI Energy, in its new report, HVAC 3rd Edition, finds that through 2015, HVAC manufacturing growth will remain relative flat across all categories until the next administration solidifies its economic recovery plans and begins to assertively back additional initiatives that require the latest energy-saving HVAC equipment.
This report examines the competitive and economic challenges facing U.S. manufacturers and consumers of HVAC equipment.

Drywall Installers in the US Industry Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld

Drywall Installers in the US Industry Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) September 24, 2012
As the real estate market endured its worst downturn since the Great Depression, demand for drywall installers contracted sharply during the recession. Over this period, industry revenue is expected to decrease at an annualized 6.0% to about $ 34.5 billion. The Drywall Installers industry is composed of companies that install drywall panels, apply plaster to interior walls of homes or buildings and install other forms of insulation. According to IBISWorld industry analyst Austen Sherman, “demand for the industry’s services primarily depends on the level of activity in the residential, commercial and industrial real estate markets, all of which faced severe declines in demand during the past five years.” The residential real estate market fared the worst, with the number of housing starts expected to fall at an annualized rate of 11.6% during the five years to 2012. Further, the value of nonresidential construction is projected to decrease at an average of 5.4% annually over the same period.
The Drywall Installers industry has a low level of market share concentration, as the four largest firms account for only a small fraction of total industry revenue. The majority of industry operators are small firms that operate within a local or regional sphere, employing less than five people. Because these small firms were not able to spread operating costs over an increasingly shrinking revenue base, from 2007 to 2012, the number of companies offering industry services is projected to decline at an average annual 3.0% to an estimated 18,678 companies. The industry’s larger participants on the other hand, such as KHS&S Contractors and Performance Contracting Group, operate on a national basis and with lower income fluctuations. Nonetheless, As contracts became scarce and price-based competition heightened, the industry’s average profit margins dropped from 3.4% in 2007 to an estimated 2.2% in 2012. “During this period, the government provided tax credits to homeowners investing in energy-efficient upgrades, like insulation work, which helped keep some operators afloat,” says Sherman. Over 2012, recovery in the economy is expected to spur activity in the residential and nonresidential real estate markets, leading to an estimated 4.7% growth in revenue for the year.
Over the next five years, the Drywall Installers industry will benefit from the improvement in the real estate market, which will renew demand for industry services. From 2012 to 2017, industry revenue is forecast to increase at an average annual rate of 4.5% to an estimated $ 43.0 billion. Although not expected to reach prerecession levels, housing starts are projected to rise at an annualized 10.8% over the next five years, to about 1.2 million units. The majority of this growth will take place early during the five-year period, before settling into a more sustainable, long-term growth rate. However, the industry will likely face intensifying competition from general contractors and do-it-yourself homeowners, limiting the industry’s growth potential over the next five years.

Japan Solar Energy Market Analyzed in New Kuick Research Report Now Available at MarketPublishers.com
London, UK (PRWEB) September 19, 2012
Japan’s current installed solar capacity has reached almost 5 GW, making it the third largest nation in terms of solar power, behind only Germany and Italy but by a large margin. Japan was, in the late 90s and early 2000s, the world leader in solar power but the withdrawal of certain effective policies and shifting focus on nuclear power decreased its solar growth considerably. It has revamped its solar power development and added more than 1 GW of solar installed capacity in 2011, the largest in a single year. Majority of this is grid connected and distributed through the utility companies.
Japan is also the world leader in manufacturing solar cells, modules and other equipment required for solar power generation. This expertise and credibility certainly augments the country’s efforts to become solar dependent and, thus, less reliant on fossil fuel exports or nuclear power.

Solar Panel Installation in Australia Industry Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld

Solar Panel Installation in Australia Industry Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld
Melbourne, Australia (PRWEB) July 28, 2012
City: Over the past five years, the Solar Panel Installation industry in Australia has been propelled to the forefront of electrical installation services. With an annualised growth rate of 115.2% achieved during this time, the impressive current year growth rate of 13.8% is nevertheless the lowest of the period. According to IBISWorld industry analyst David Stephen, “Industry revenue of $ 1.39 billion is expected for 2012-13, a staggering 40-times higher than the figure of just five years prior.” Having a low base year has helped statistically, while the reality is installation levels have grown at an equally impressive rate.
Photovoltaic (PV), or solar power, capacity levels have grown exponentially on the back of a shift in social and political trends toward the adoption of renewable energy. With the support of the government, the adoption of solar power has been accelerated and the goal set for renewable energy to provide 20% of Australia’s demand by 2020. The Solar Panel Installation industry in Australia has three major participants: National Solar Group, Origin Energy and CBD Energy. “The vast majority of enterprises operating in the industry are small subcontractors working for solar panel retailers,” says Stephen, “suggesting a low level of market share concentration.” Over the five years through 2012-13, the number of companies operating in the industry has escalated in order to service the spike in demand for solar panels from Australian households.
The future of solar power adoption and subsequently installation is subject to the change, despite strong potential and advocacy from a range of both political and non-political groups. Government priorities and other sources of renewable energy will provide competition regardless of how the economic landscape unfolds. This means that solar cell technology will need to compete on multiple fronts such as cost efficiency, design attractiveness and versatility of application if it is to retain a modicum of the staggering growth that propelled the industry to the forefront of clean energy adoption. Technological advancements towards economic viability remain crucial, and will determine whether the industry meets or exceeds its forecast growth over the next five years.

NREL Sponsorship of Cleantech Fellows Designed to Transfer Lab-Developed Clean Energy Technologies to Market
Denver, CO (PRWEB) June 25, 2012
The Colorado Cleantech Industry Association has entered into a partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to form the Cleantech Fellows Institute. This exclusive program is designed to facilitate the creation of venture-backed clean technology companies in Colorado, across the nation, and even internationally.
To help the Institute achieve its primary goal of educating a select set of proven executives as they make the transition to the cleantech industry, NREL will provide Fellows with access to some of the most widely recognized cleantech researchers, engineers, and business specialists during the course of each session.
“This institute gives us a chance to get our technologies out there,” said Bill Farris, NREL’s Vice President of Commercialization & Technology Transfer. “We’re always looking for seasoned managers and serial entrepreneurs who want to build businesses around the work we do.”
NREL’s sponsorship, which is primarily funded through its licensing revenues, will extend beyond researcher access. The Cleantech Fellows Institute will work directly with the NREL-supported Colorado Center for Renewable Energy Economic Development (CREED). Because CREED’s primary focus is to catalyze cleantech economic development in Colorado, its stakeholders will be able to share extensive investor and industry access, as well as the kind of guidance that cleantech entrepreneurs need to develop the next round of businesses centered on clean energy and energy efficiency.
“We are thrilled that NREL, a leader in renewable energy research in the U.S., has signed on to support the Cleantech Fellows Institute,” said Graham Richards, CEO of Advanced Energy Economy of which CCIA is a state chapter. “Their commitment to the program underscores their belief in the ability of the Institute to bring vetted, experienced CEOs into the advanced energy marketplace. It’s the perfect partnership between technology development and the C-level leaders that can bring those technologies to market.”
The Cleantech Fellows Institute’s tuition-based, 17-week intensive program will focus on cleantech industry-specific issues, technologies, research, investment sources and opportunities, support ecosystems, and regulations. The Institute will culminate in a capstone project from each Fellow that is designed to generate a venture-backable start-up.
In addition, attendees will automatically be registered for NREL’s Industry Growth Forum, the premiere event for clean energy startups to meet with receptive venture capitalists, corporate investors, and strategic partners.
“NREL is an amazing resource for our Institute. Access to the lab will be a priceless benefit to the Fellows looking for top-notch technology around which they can build a company,” says Wayne Greenberg, director of the Cleantech Fellows Institute. “NREL’s partnership really positions the Cleantech Fellows Institute for success in an exciting, and challenging, technology market.”

The benefits and challenges of linking on-lease marketing activities with off-lease downstream marketing activities within a single ETRM solution – 10%
The elements of the producer services value chain that need to be supported within a robust ETRM solution – 7%
Mark Bright, VP of North America Oil and Gas Marketing for Apache Corporation, said, “These findings are consistent with clients’ experience in the marketplace.

Survey results supported this sentiment with 67% of respondents stating they wanted the ability to manage new well connects, maximize gas balancing opportunities, improve management of contractual dedications, and maximize available for sale volumes and split-connect opportunities.
