U.S. Power Market Overview

U.S. Power Market Overview U.S. Power Markets

Current Status

  • World's largest energy market (>1,000 GW), only partially deregulated
  • Thermal generation provides more than ~67% of nameplate capacity in 2019 (43% natural gas, 21% coal, 3% oil)(1)
  • Wind and Solar account for ~14% of nameplate capacity.(1)
  • Fragmented energy policies largely on a state-by-state basis creates a complex landscape in which CPV knows how to maneuver and participate

Forecast*

  • Accelerated coal retirements due to continued low-cost natural gas and public policy which will likely include a price on carbon emissions
  • Federal Energy Legislation possible in 2021
    • R&D for storage, next generation nuclear, carbon capture, and hydrogen
    • Renewable tax and investment credits
    • A clean energy standard valuing both low and zero emissions resources
  • Additional states establishing net zero emissions goals, expanding RPS and joining regional carbon pricing initiatives (RGGI)
  • Private sector commitment to ESG targets will provide additional development opportunities

States with Renewable Goals

U.S. Energy Growth Drivers

Government
Democratic presidency and legislature expected to make climate change a priority with significant support for
renewable, R&D and tax incentives

Republicans support market based approaches and support establishing a Clean Energy Standard

States will continue to pursue individual mandates
Corporate ESG Targets
Growing number of companies have committed to net
zero by 2050

Significant push by shareholders to divest from fossil
Retirements
Low natural gas prices expected to continue to pressure older coal and smaller nuclear assets to retire

178 GW of coal and nuclear generation expected to retire by 2040

Federal and State support for subsidizing uneconomic generation declining
Decarbonization
Achieving the electrification of the consumer sector (transportation/industrial) goals could lead to as much as a
60%
to 90% increase in power generation demand

Manufacturing and technology improvements are reducing the cost of renewables

Additional 260 GW of wind and solar expected by 2040

U.S. Climate Policy Impacts on Energy Sector

The Biden Agenda

  • Rejoined the Paris Climate Agreement and intends to convene a world climate summit.
  • Temporary ban on new permits for fracking on Federal Lands.
  • \$2 trillion investment for clean technologies across all sectors in R&D and "American Made" products...significant impact on global supply chains.
  • Legislation to achieve economy wide net-zero emissions by 2050
  • Carbon free power sector and a 50% carbon reduction from buildings by 2035
  • 100% electrification of the auto industry
  • Invest \$400 billion over ten years in clean energy and innovation
  • Require sources to bear the cost of their emissions through a carbon tax or clean energy standard
  • Aggressive methane pollution limits for new and existing oil and gas operations, yet to be defined
