The rising political tensions in Iran are particularly worrying

for global oil supply

Iran’s oil exports (Jan to June 2011) After China, the EU is the largest importer of Iranian oil

(about 20%)

In response to the Iran’s nuclear program negotiations

failure, the US and Europe decided sanctions against Iran,

who, in return, threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz:

• Strengthening of the US military presence in the Gulf

• Oil embargo from the EU (due to start in July) which should

hit 450,000 to 550,000 barrels a day of Iranian oil exports

But Iran banned crude oil supply to France, the UK and

the EU right away

In addition, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and India could

reduce their purchases (up to 250,000 bl/d). In total,

between 25% and 35% of Iran’s oil exports could be

impacted

However, Saudi Arabia is increasing significantly its

production to curb price

Oil prices in European currencies are at their highest

Oil prices forecasts uncertainty is increased by

speculation: each barrel traded on the physical

market is traded 35 times on the financial markets

There is some consumption/price elasticity

High present oil prices are linked to tensions in

Middle East and Iran

In Euros, the crude oil spot price is at its highest

There is currently a $20 spread between WTI and Brent,

a the consequence of a localized logistic phenomenon

at Cushing, Oklahoma, where WTI is priced

High oil prices impact economic growth (EU’s oil import costs up 44% in 2011 compared to 2010 and net oil import bill estimated to account for 2.8% EU’s GDP in

2012 compared to 1.7% from 2000 to 2010) and trade exchanges balance

Gas is not a global market. Very different regional pricing systems

US spot prices could go up on the mid-term triggered by the new EPA

(Environment Protection Agency) regulation on air pollution (Cross State Air

Pollution Rule) that could lead to 20% of US coal-fired plants phase-out and their

replacement by gas

Beginning of 2012, Gazprom has agreed to reduce by 10% the price of its

long-term contracts to Europe

Post-Fukushima nuclear reactors’ market: new builds mainly

in Asia, Russia and Middle East

Worldwide, 435 reactors are in operation, 62 under construction and 489 planned or proposed (April 2012, World Nuclear Association)

Source: World Nuclear Association

The vast majority of new constructions and existing plants in operation should continue with

some delays and more safety focus. The IEA* forecasts that nuclear output will rise by

more than 70% over the period to 2035

Overview of existing nuclear plants and project capacities (as of April 2012) The final number of planned or proposed

reactors is difficult to assess. However, two

points are clear:

• Provided reactors are run safely, the consequences

of the Fukushima accident should be less

important than viewed just after the accident

• The proportion of new, safer “Generation 3

reactor” builds will increase

It is worthwhile mentioning that:

• In the US:

TVA has decided to complete Bellefonte 1 reactor

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has certified the

design of Westinghouse Electric Co.'s AP1000 reactor

Southern Company is building 2 new nuclear plants in

Vogtle, Georgia

• Finland announced a new build, the first

announcement of a new site anywhere in the world

since the Fukushima accident

• Russian Rosenergoatom has received a license for

building the Kaliningrad plant

• No.1 nuclear unit in Zhejiang Sanmen (China) has

restarted the infrastructure construction project

• Bulgaria has decided to build a 7th reactor at

Kozloduy

There is some elasticity between the economic situation and

In 2009, electricity and gas consumption dropped in Europe (-4.7% and -6.1% respectively) due to the crisis, in 2010,

they increased again (+4.1% and +7.0%) thanks to the economic recovery and colder than average winter

temperatures. Wholesale electricity and gas prices followed the same trend.

In 2011, European electricity and gas consumption decreased respectively by 2.7%* and 10.7%**, mainly due to a

mild weather. In France, electricity consumption decreased by 6.8% (weather-adjusted: +0.8%) and gas

consumption by 13.4% (weather-adjusted: -1.9%).

European energy mix evolution

Energy mix should evolve towards

more gas, renewables and coal (in

certain countries)

Shale gas development is changing

the picture

In the new IEA GAS* scenario, gas

share of primary energy consumption

reaches 25% in 2035 at a global level

(more than coal, slightly less than oil)

but leads to a +3.5°C global

temperature increase (compared to

the +2°C objective)

In 2011, the IEA** has examined a Low

Nuclear Scenario:

• No new nuclear plant is built in OECD

countries

• Non-OECD countries build only half of

the projected nuclear plants

• The operating lifespan of existing

nuclear plants is limited to 45 years

However, today’s nuclear energy

development forecast is more

optimistic

A stable governmental policy is key for renewables development. The eurozone sovereign debt issues should

lead to subsidies decreases and threaten the EU 2020 objective achievement

Source: Eur’Observer barometers – Capgemini analysis, EEMO13

Growth rate of renewable energy sources As of May 2011, 10% of the European

generation plants under construction

are from renewable energy sources (vs.

7% in 2009)

In 2011, despite a drop of the new EU

wind installed capacity due to the

financial crisis and tougher regulations,

wind power covered over 5% of EU’s

consumption (172 TWh)

Many governments have or are launching

large offshore wind programs

• September 2010: 300 MW offshore wind

farm inaugurated in the UK

• France: part of the 3,000 MW tender

awarded to 2 consortiums (one led by EDF

for 1,400 MW and one led by Iberdrola for

500 MW) in April 2012

• North Sea: 400 MW (Germany) and 325

MW (Belgium) under construction

• Nuclear phase out in Germany should

boost wind power but creates issues on

the grid

Despite the solar PV growth in 2011

globally (+44%), many solar companies

went bust because of China competition

In 2011, renewable energy investment

rose 5% to US$260 billion* globally

(solar energy: +36%) *Bloomberg New Energy Finance

The gas paradigm is changing

In the new IEA GAS* scenario, gas consumption is increased. Main

assumptions are:

• China ambitious policy for gas use

• Increased power plants’ consumption linked to lower nuclear energy

• Sustained low gas price

However, in this scenario, heavy investments in infrastructure

(difficult to finance) are needed

Extensive analysis have been carried out on energy mix

scenarios in France

The Energies 2050 commission examined four existing energy scenarios:

1. Lifespan extension of existing reactors: all existing nuclear reactors lifetime is extended to 60 years providing the nuclear safety

authority (ASN) allows it

2. Quicker adoption of 3rd generation nuclear reactors: replacement of all existing nuclear reactors by 3rd generation reactors (EPR) as

soon as they reach their 40 years lifetime, which implies to build at least 2 EPR reactors per year during 10 years (from 2020 to 2030)

3. Progressive reduction of nuclear energy in the mix: all existing nuclear reactors are decommissioned when reaching their 40 years

lifetime and 1 on 2 reactors is replaced by a 3rd generation reactor (EPR), which leads to a 40-60% nuclear energy share by 2030

4. a. Nuclear phase out (more fossil fuel energy): all existing nuclear reactors are decommissioned when reaching their 40 years lifetime

and are replaced by fossil fueled plants

4. b. Nuclear phase out (more RES): all existing nuclear reactors are decommissioned when reaching their 40 years lifetime and are

replaced by renewable energy plants

Status on the EU 2020 objectives

After the 2009 drop (-7.1%), GHG emissions increased

by 2.2% due to the 2010 economic recovery. For 2011,

88% ETS sector CO2 emissions released data show a

2.4%* decrease, mainly due to the combustion/power

sector (-3.1%)

An economic slowdown would push CO2 emissions

down

In its March 2011 Energy Efficiency plan, the EU

estimated that with current measures only half of the

objective would be attained and developed a new draft

Directive focusing on:

• Triggering better energy efficiency of public buildings

• Demand response programs notably through smart meters

roll out

• White Certificates mechanisms extension

• Better usage of cogeneration

In 2013, the EU will re-assess the situation

Demand Response study

2012 results snapshot

Our study shows that peak shaving potential is significant while electricity savings potential is

more limited

In Capgemini Consulting’s Demand Response

(DR) study*, the potential of peak shaving and

energy savings is modeled on the basis of a

baseline scenario:

• GDP growth 2010-20: 1.8% in average

• CAGR electricity consumption 2010-20: 0.7%

• Some existing energy efficiency programs such

as Grenelle de l’Environnement or White

Certificates

Assumptions are made on:

• Regulation (norms and standards, energy

efficiency objectives, tariffs and incentive policies)

• Market design (possibility to monetize DR on

wholesale markets, contracts optimization, capacity

markets)

• Smart meters penetration and functionalities (for

the households segment)

And typical DR offerings are modeled with

hypothesis on their adoption by customers

The need for smart grids is emerging

With the increase of renewable energies generation share, the electrical grid’s management is facing new challenges as these energies provide unforeseeable and intermittent power generation that is thus not schedulable. Balancing demand and supply on the grid becomes very complex.

Wind and solar power units are generally small and decentralized, allowing customers to become occasional producers

The distribution network that is less sophisticated than the transmission network is not designed to manage those decentralized and sometimes bi-directional flows

Smart grids concept has emerged to manage a dramatic increase in data flow, data storage and exchanges both for grid balance and customer relations. They necessitate new equipments and will be more digitally managed. Communication protocols will need to be standardized in order to manage the information flow on the net and with the customers as well as within buildings

New investments needed: Today there is funding in Europe (€1 bn EU funds) and, more so, in the US (stimulus grants: $3.4 bn), for smart grid studies and prototype building but not for their real deployment, while investments are estimated at $200 bn worldwide from 2008-2015 ($53 bn in the US)*

Electric grid management is a key factor to improve security of

supply. However it’s not going to happen overnight. A lot of

regulatory and standardization issues have to be worked out.

Smart grids: key success factors

Smart grids implementation will necessitate new investments:

• The transmission and distribution tariffs will have to increase and by consequence the electricity prices

• Regulators, governments and customers will have to accept these prices increases

Industrial R&D is needed to develop new equipments (as large competitive storage) or

improve existing ones (as HVDC connections).

Communication standards are crucial:

• US is mobilized at the government (Department of Energy) and equipment manufactures levels

• Europe is now considering more seriously this question

• Equipments conceived with the internationally adopted standards will have a clear advantage

Efforts on simulation and modeling are needed:

• For the transmission grid there is a need to build a new European High Voltage grid management

model

• On the distribution side, the retail market has to evolve and modeling is needed. Interesting

experiences initiated by regulators and involving all stakeholders (Utilities, equipment manufacturers,

IT service companies, local authorities...) have been launched in Victoria (Australia), Texas (USA) and

France.

Utilities need to change their business model

Oil and gas procurement tensions and post-

Fukushima accident are leading to changes in the

energy landscape

European Utilities are negatively impacted by the

economic slowdown, governments pressure on prices,

potential extra-taxes and frozen regulation

US Utilities are negatively impacted by low gas prices

They need to adapt their business model, increase

competitiveness and launch profitable innovative

projects

Developed countries have to limit their energy

demand and Utilities have a key role to play

Public deserves a proper information on all energy-

related questions
