For Immediate Release
New York, NY and Houston, TX-March 26, 2007-A mandatory Greenhouse Gas regime is likely coming to America sooner than thought as Corporate America and Wall Street, particularly electric utilities, are calling for regulatory certainty in investing in new plant and equipment. Companies such as Southern California Edison, AEP, Duke Energy, and Xcel Energy are out in front of the curve. A U.S. carbon regime is now a certainty. It's time to get the rules in place so industry can respond. The question is, are you ready and do you understand what impact this potential development will have on your corporation?
UtiliPoint International, C TRADE and Global Change Associates announce a new multi-client study to address these issues and to provide guidance to corporate America and particularly, electric utilities, on what the impact of a mandatory greenhouse gas regime will be. It will examine market opportunities, market sizing, regional and national markets, project finance opportunities and review how prepared the industry really is.
Scope of Research Report:
- What impact will a U.S. Emissions Trading Scheme have on utilities?
- What are the impacts on their lines of business?
- Who's prepared and who's not?
- What will happen if you don't pay attention?
- How will regional and national markets work together?
- What are the biggest market opportunities?
- How will the carbon balance sheet look?
- What is the market size today and in five years?
- Why the portfolio approach offers a solution
- How green monetization will help project finance?
Topics Covered in This Study Report:
- Likelihood of GHG Legislation in 2007

- Carbon Credits Under Kyoto

- Potential Impacts on Electric Utilities
- Carbon Constraints Impact on Energy Companies & Energy Intensive Industries
"It seems likely that the United States will have its own mandatory greenhouse gas regime legislated sometime in 2007, but it won't be part of Kyoto. Since U.S. companies are already evaluating their carbon risks and mitigation strategies, it increasingly makes sense to be ahead of the carbon curve now and have a road map to future developments," said Peter Fusaro, Chairman of Global Change Associates.
"This three month study will specifically cater to energy and utility Clients needs and impacts from new carbon regulations, and provide strategic policy and technical alternatives for corporate decision makers," said Dr. Prabhu Dayal, President of C TRADE.
