“Protecting the U.S. electrical grid and the gas pipeline system from cyberattacks has drawn increased attention fromCongress as the threats to infrastructure become more prevalent globally. According to the CEO of the AmericanGas Association, if you have ‘energy’ in your title or name, you’ve been attacked for a long time – ‘You’ve beensurveilled, you‘ve been mapped. You have to assume that you’ve been penetrated and go from there. And I knowCongress is much more acutely aware than it was a few years ago.’ One line of defense is the creation of a mutual-support network known colloquially as the “cyber-ninja force.” It operates in a similar fashion to emergency respondercrews that travel to help overwhelmed utilities with major weather outages, working in parallel to the utilities and gridsystems to repair, protect, and defend the power distribution system.”

NUCLEAR | ASSESSING THE WESTINGHOUSE IMPLICATIONS
INFRASTRUCTURE | UPGRADING THE POWER SYSTEM
“Chalk it up as a win for the Russian and Chinese state-owned nuclear power companies for now. Their competitionjust got weaker. The bankruptcy of Westinghouse Electric Company (WEC) has ruined its global ambitions. ForWestinghouse’s international ambitions, China was the really big picture and Europe was its hub to challenge Russia’smarket in the lucrative fuel assembly business. While the company “remains committed” to its flagship reactor designand guiding existing projects to completion, the future of one of nuclear’s most revered names is bleak and couldhave broad market implications. Westinghouse, meanwhile, is hoping for the best. Or as industry cynics would say:Westinghouse is hoping for pixie dust.”

“Renewed investment in U.S. infrastructure has been a popular topic recently. Crumbling U.S. public infrastructureaffects everyone, and its revitalization under federal guidance presents an opportunity for the power industry tosupport its future load growth and reliability. However, these are large, multi-state, and multi-benefit projects that arelikely difficult to finance in the private sector due to the risk and revenue uncertainty around their size and complexity.How should the power industry position itself with respect to various infrastructure revitalization proposals? Oneargument is that public-private partnerships are the most likely path toward common ground for upgrading the U.S.power system.”

INDUSTRY UPDATE │ APRIL 2017
OIL & GAS | FADING FEAR OF LENDING
“Wall Street banks’ growing optimism about the energy industry is the latest boost for U.S. oil and natural gasproducers already enjoying higher prices. If the optimism turns into an increase in lending, it would be a boon to shalefirms from Texas to North Dakota that rely on borrowed money to finance their drilling and fracking. That could furtheraccelerate U.S. oil production, which is already expected to rise above 10 million barrels a day for the first time in late2018, and put more pressure on OPEC’s efforts to restrain supply. The spigots are starting to open. Leveraged loans tothe energy sector have jumped this year compared with the same period a year ago. In the first quarter, U.S. energycompanies raised $26.8 billion in so-called leveraged loans — loans that are extended to those already holdingsignificant amounts of debt — up roughly 86% from the same period last year.”
Bloomberg New Energy Finance | Instapaper
“Clean-energy investment fell 17 percent in the first quarter, keeping pace with last year’s decline, as the U.S. andChina both scaled back support for wind and solar farms. The $53.6 billion funneled into projects such as renewableenergy, efficiency and electric cars during the first three months of the year marked the lowest investment for thequarter since 2013, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance. A surge in financing for large offshore wind projectsat the start of last year wasn’t repeated in 2017, and governments are slashing subsidies for new projects, reflecting aplunge in the cost of photovoltaics and wind turbines. While it was a relatively quiet first quarter for global cleanenergy investment, analysts note that it is too early to assume that 2017 will be down year over year.”
