## “You make electricity, you use it, 

**you pay a bill.......**

**......****So this is supposed to be new?”**

## Estimated Loss of Capacity Margins, 1997-2006

## The IT Revolution

- Has enabled businesses (and their financial underwriters) to:
- Rationalize operating margins
- Manage risk

## Financial Markets

- Risk Management Risk Management Risk

**“****Did I mention Risk?”**

## Risk and Energy --

- Universal de-/re-regulation forcing reductions in marginal cost of operation
- U.S. (and global) economic growth is increasingly electro-centric
- PQ&R has become a central element of variable-cost-of-energy component to goods & services
