The movement to regulate carbon is building momentum in the US. Carbon pricing will dramatically shift the economics of the power industry. There will be new winners and new losers, from plants and projects to companies to entire regions.

According to the Carbon Disclosure Project Report, "The best positioned company in the Innovest GHG regulatory model could have windfall revenues yielding $298 million or 10.6% of 2005 earnings (EBITDA). The worst could lose 25% of its EBITDA due to regulatory compliance costs." Already in Europe, within two years of the start of carbon markets, stock valuations are being affected by their exposure to carbon.

With substantial regulatory uncertainty remaining as to what the regime may look like and when it will take effect, prudent generation owners and operators need to begin positioning themselves now by anticipating the possible impacts of potential carbon prices and allocation methods on future operational plans and economics. Forward looking companies need to know how to forecast carbon prices, the latest thinking on how allowances will be allocated, who will be the winners and losers under allocation vs. auction scenarios, and how best to assess the risks and costs of carbon capture and storage.

Infocast's Generation Strategies in an Era of Carbon Uncertainty will provide the in-depth, detailed coverage of forecasting, optionality and hedging tools and strategies you need to protect your company's value. The event will deliver updates on state actions, current and pending, as well as the different carbon proposals in Congress, their varying implications if enacted, and prospects for passage. You will gain the best know-how for navigating a rapidly changing regulatory environment with enormous long-term consequences for the electric power industry.
