ICF Integrated Energy Outlook

The Industry's Only Multi-Sectoral Analysis of Emission, Fuel, Renewable Energy, and Power Markets

 
 
ICF’s Quarterly Outlook series offers unique insights into trends and developments likely to dominate energy markets for the next two decades.  The Outlook represents the unified perspective of ICF’s leading environmental, fuel, power, renewable energy, and transmission experts.

The Outlook includes an in-depth assessment of five interrelated energy markets:

Emission Market Issues

  • What are the implications of the proposed Transport Rule on SO2 and NOX markets?
  • How many coal units will retire and how many will spend the capital investments needed to comply with Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) maximum achievable control technology (MACT) requirements?
  • What new capacity will be needed to replace retired capacity and meet growing demand?
  • How will the MACT requirements interact with pending ash and water regulations?
  • What are the possible directions for CO2 regulation, and how will they impact the control or retire calculus?

Gas Market Issues

  • How will current trends in demand shape the market in the future?
  • How are basis differentials developing given recent regional supply development and pipeline projects?
  • How will production from the shales change the future of the gas market, and how might environmental concerns change this?

Coal Market Issues

  • Will eastern coal prices continue to increase?
  • Will coal exports continue to expand transforming the U.S. into a major player in global coal markets?
  • How will environmental regulations shift production and consumption trends?

Power Market Issues

  • Will the 2010 energy price recovery be sustained?
  • What is the regional outlook for on-peak spark spreads?
  • How much do environmental policies affect regional price differences?

Renewable Energy Market Issues

  • How will activity in California’s new tradable renewable energy certificate (TREC) market affect prices for bundled RECs in the state?
  • How will REC prices in PJM respond to sharp increases in renewable energy demand over the next decade?
  • Will offshore wind provide meaningful contributions towards meeting the New England Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS)?
