Industry Insights

The electric power generation, transmission and distribution industry is witnessing several significant trends that impact its operations and future growth prospects. One of the most notable trends is the shift towards renewable energy, which is gaining traction as a cleaner, sustainable and more cost-effective source of power. Many countries have set ambitious targets for renewable energy adoption, leading to increased investment in solar, wind and hydropower projects.

Another key trend is the rise of smart grid technologies, enabling better management of the power transmission and distribution network. Smart grids leverage data analytics, sensors, and automation to optimize power supply, reduce outage times, and enhance energy efficiency. This trend is also driving the adoption of advanced metering infrastructure, enabling customers to monitor and optimize their energy usage.

The industry is also facing challenges due to aging infrastructure, which requires significant investment and upgrades to ensure reliability and safety. This is leading to increased focus on asset management and predictive maintenance using advanced analytics and AI-based technologies.

Finally, the industry is also grappling with changing customer demands and expectations, necessitating the shift towards more decentralized and distributed power generation and storage solutions. Microgrids, community solar projects, and energy storage systems are becoming increasingly popular, driven by the desire for greater energy independence, resilience, and affordability.

Executive Briefings

The Pipeline Companies compete with other pipelines on the basis of cost, flexibility, reliability of service and overall customer service, with the customer's decision being made primarily on the basis of delivered price, which includes both the natural gas commodity cost and transportation costs. The Pipeline Companies also compete with midstream operators and gas marketers seeking to provide or arrange transportation, storage and other services to meet customer needs. Natural gas competes with alternative energy sources, including coal, nuclear energy, wind, geothermal, solar and fuel oil and the electricity generated from these alternative energy sources. Legislation and governmental regulations, weather, futures markets, production costs and other factors beyond the control of the Pipeline Companies, influence the price of the natural gas commodity. Additionally, natural gas demand could be adversely affected by laws mandating or incenting renewable power sources that produce fewer GHG emissions than natural gas.The Pipeline Companies generate a substantial portion of their revenue from long-term firm contracts for transportation and storage services and are therefore insulated from competitive factors during the terms of the contracts. When these long-term contracts expire, the Pipeline Companies face competitive pressures from other natural gas pipeline facilities. The Pipeline Companies' ability to extend existing customer contracts, remarket expiring contracted capacity or market new capacity is dependent on competitive alternatives, the regulatory environment and the market supply and demand factors at the relevant dates these contracts are eligible to be renewed or extended. The duration of new or renegotiated contracts will be affected by current commodity and transportation prices, competitive conditions and customers' judgments concerning future market trends and volatility.Subject to regulatory requirements, the Pipeline Companies attempt to recontract or remarket capacity at the maximum rates allowed under their tariffs, although at times the Pipeline Companies discount these rates to remain competitive. Historically, the Pipeline Companies have been able to provide competitively priced services because of access to a variety of relatively low cost supply basins, cost control measures and the relatively high level of firm entitlement that is sold on a seasonal and annual basis, which lowers the per unit cost of transportation. To date, the Pipeline Companies have avoided significant pipeline system bypasses.BHE GT Midamerican Energy
