Retail residential electricity prices in the United States have mostly risen over the last decades. In 2023, prices registered a year-over-year growth of 6.3 percent, the highest growth registered since the beginning of the century. Residential prices are projected to continue to grow by two percent in 2024. Drivers of electricity price growth The price of electricity is partially dependent on the various energy sources used for generation, such as coal, gas, oil, renewable energy, or nuclear. In the U.S., electricity prices are highly connected to natural gas prices. As the commodity is exposed to international markets that pay a higher rate, U.S. prices are also expected to rise, as it has been witnessed during the energy crisis in 2022. Electricity demand is also expected to increase, especially in regions that will likely require more heating or cooling as climate change impacts progress, driving up electricity prices. Which states pay the most for electricity? Electricity prices can vary greatly depending on both state and region. Hawaii has the highest electricity prices in the U.S., at roughly 43 U.S. cents per kilowatt-hour as of May 2023, due to the high costs of crude oil used to fuel the state’s electricity. In comparison, Idaho has one of the lowest retail rates. Much of the state’s energy is generated from hydroelectricity, which requires virtually no fuel. In addition, construction costs can be spread out over decades.

The Electricity Supply industry has developed considerably since its liberalisation in 1999. Following a period in which the Big Six suppliers dominated, energy regulator Ofgem endeavoured to introduce greater competition to the market as part of attempts to drive down energy bills. Major mergers and acquisitions effectively brought the dominance of the former Big Six suppliers to an end at the end of 2019-20. Along with weakening electricity consumption, swelling competition has applied further pressure on revenue in recent years. Electricity suppliers' revenue is slated to climb at a compound annual rate of 4.7% to reach £49.8 billion over the five years through 2024-25. The introduction of the standard variable tariff price cap in January 2019 squeezed revenue growth. The pandemic exacerbated the drop in revenue, as widespread tariff reductions compounded the effects of reduced electricity consumption. With suppliers bound by the energy price cap, soaring wholesale prices led to widening operating losses in 2021-22, albeit with a modest revenue recovery. A renewed spike in wholesale prices led to a continued wave of insolvencies among energy suppliers going into 2022-23, with 31 suppliers falling victim to the energy crisis. Soaring non-domestic energy bills and significant hikes to the SVT price cap spurred significant revenue growth in 2022-23, while the transfer of customer accounts from failed suppliers reinstated the dominance of major suppliers. The introduction of the Energy Price Guarantee (EPG) and support for business energy customers prevented energy prices from spiralling out of control going into 2023-24. A faster-than-anticipated drop in wholesale electricity prices has eased pressure on operating profit in the current year, contributing to an estimated 10.1% revenue contraction. Revenue is forecast to sink at a compound annual rate of 0.9% to £47.6 billion over the five years through 2029-30. Prices will remain elevated in the medium term as concerns surrounding supplies of Russian fossil fuels into Europe inflate wholesale costs. Wholesale prices are set to stabilise in the long term, spurring tariff reductions. The continued drop in electricity consumption is also set to limit growth prospects in the coming years.

These workbooks contain modeled estimates of long-run marginal emission rates (LRMER) for the contiguous United States. A LRMER is an estimate of the rate of emissions that would be either induced or avoided by a change in electric demand, taking into account how the change could influence both the operation as well as the structure of the grid (i.e., the building and retiring of capital assets, such as generators and transmission lines). It is therefore distinct from the more-commonly-known short-run marginal, which treat grid assets as fixed. Long-run marginal emissions rates are generally appropriate to use when trying to comprehensively estimate the impact of a long-lived (i.e., more than several years) intervention. There are two workbooks that supply the data at two different geographic resolutions: states and GEA regions (20 regions that are similar to, but not exactly the same as, the US EPA's eGRID regions). For more data underlying these emissions factors, see the Cambium 2022 project at https://scenarioviewer.nrel.gov/. For more details on input assumptions and methodology see the associated report (Cambium 2022 Scenario Descriptions and Documentation, https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy23osti/84916.pdf).

These workbooks contain modeled estimates of long-run marginal emission rates (LRMER) for the contiguous United States. The LRMER is an estimate of the rate of emissions that would be either induced or avoided by a long-term (i.e., more than several years) change in electrical demand. It incorporates both the projected changes to the electric grid, as well as the potential for an incremental change in electrical demand to influence the structural evolution of the grid (i.e., the building and retiring of capital assets, such as generators and transmission lines). It is therefore distinct from the more-commonly-known short-run marginal, which treats grid assets as fixed. The Levelized LRMER worksheet within each workbook is set up to produce a levelized long-run marginal emission rate based on user-provided inputs. These levelized LRMER values are intended for analysts to use when estimating the emissions induced (or avoided) by a long-term change in end-use electricity demand. There are two workbooks that supply the data at two different geographic resolutions: states and GEA regions (20 regions that are similar to, but not exactly the same as, the US EPA's eGRID regions). For more data underlying these emissions factors, see the Cambium 2021 project at https://cambium.nrel.gov/.

Conventional lithium-ion batteries demonstrate great potential for energy storage applications but they face some major challenges such as low energy density and high cost. It is worthwhile to pursue alternative strategies to address the barriers of cost and energy density. In this project, we will develop advanced rechargeable lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries that have much higher energy density and lower cost. Our Phase I project will use a superionic solid electrolyte and sulfur-immobilized carbon matrix to reduce sulfur loss to the electrolyte and to increase the sulfur utilization. The full lithium-sulfur button and pouch batteries based on these components will be constructed to evaluate their electrochemical performance. Based on our preliminary data, it is anticipated that a 400 Wh/kg energy density of Li-S pouch cells can be demonstrated for a minimum of hundreds of cycles.

This study investigates the relationship between consumer sentiment (CONS), inflation expectations (INEX) and international energy prices, drawing on principles from behavioral. We focus on Brent crude oil price and Henry Hub natural gas prices as key indicators of energy market dynamics. Based on the monthly data from January 2003 to March 2023, three wavelet methods are applied to examine the time-frequency linkage, while the nonlinear distributed lag model (NARDL) is used to verify the asymmetric impact of two factors on energy prices. The results highlight a substantial connection between consumer sentiment, inflation expectations and international energy prices, with the former in the short term and the latter in the medium to long term. Especially, these correlations are particularly pronounced during the financial crisis and global health emergencies, such as the COVID-19 epidemic. Furthermore, we detect short-term asymmetric effects of consumer sentiment and inflation expectations on Brent crude oil price, with the negative shocks dominating. The positive effects of these factors on oil prices contribute to observed long-term asymmetry. In contrast, inflation expectations have short-term and long-run asymmetric effects on natural gas price, and both are dominated by reverse shocks, while the impact of consumer sentiment on natural gas prices appears to be less asymmetric. This study could enrich current theories on the interaction between the international energy market and serve as a supplement to current literature.

Amplify Energy has been written three times before and the previous write-ups and related comments give a good overview of the history of the Company and the quality of its asset base. DO EM GO’s write up in October 2020 was particularly well timed and the stock is up over 8X since that time, however the enterprise value is only 20% higher. Ray Palmer wrote it up in April of 2022 and the stock is up 12% since then but the enterprise value is 20% lower. The muted change in enterprise value has occurred as the Company has paid down over $100MM of debt while extending its reserve to production ratio. I believe the stock is cheaper and more derisked now than it has ever been (less than 1X debt/EBITDA) and on the cusp of major catalysts over the next 3-6 months that will uncover the tremendous value of Amplify’s assets. This write-up will focus specifically on two items which we believe haven’t been fully flushed out and create a path to significant cash flow inflection and share price gains which I expect to be above and beyond what has been discussed so far: 1) clarity on the enormous value of Beta and 2) specific actions planned by management to realize the massive undervaluation of its asset base. COMPANY OVERVIEW Amplify’s assets are mature properties that are generally past the higher decline stages typically characterized by newer production. Its production decline rate is only ~6% per year for the next decade, translating to a less capital-intensive business relative to most E&P companies, especially those in the unconventional/shale business that can have corporate decline rates of 25%-35%+. Amplify is more resilient against commodity price volatility and provides for higher FCF. This FCF is highly predictable with 85%-90% hedged for natural gas until year end 2025 and 45%-50% in 2026. The oil hedge position in 70-75% for 2024, 45%-50% in 2025 and 10-15% in 2026. A screenshot of a map Description automatically generated As the slide below shows, the Company is quite cheap based on its current proved, producing assets even with fairly draconian long term commodity price assumptions. The PV 10 analysis is very sensitive to long term strip prices, which for oil prices is currently in the mid $60s, however, I am of the opinion that long term prices will trend higher not lower in the long term. This undervaluation, however, is even more severe when one considers that the Beta PV10 is dinged for decommissioning liabilities that may be delayed by decades as discussed later. Based on a FCF valuation, the Company has guided to $20-$40 million of FCF in 2024 after $33-$40 million of growth expenditures. FCF yield to equity at midpoint is 12% with fully loaded capex and 27%, excluding Beta related growth capex. Amplify is one of the longest reserve lives and highest free cash flow yielding energy Company in my universe based on the just the existing asset base. A screenshot of a screen Description automatically generated THE BETA OPPORTUNITY The following slide gives an overview of the Beta asset: A map of oil and gas waters Description automatically generated Beta is a world-class oilfield initially discovered and developed by Shell in the 1980’s drilling low angle wells through the massive, highly permeable, stacked sandstones. The last significant drilling program in the asset consisted of 7 wells drilled by Amplify’s predecessor company. Three of these wells were drilled horizontally targeting the D-Sand and delivered 1st year average production of approximately 350 gross Bopd per well. The current development plan is designed to sidetrack out of existing, shut-in wells and horizontally target the D-Sand, utilizing the latest in rotary steerable and mapping well drilling technology to optimally place wells in areas with the highest remaining oil saturation. The Beta field has the potential to be a large growth asset for decades as there are still significant resources remaining to be recovered. The original oil in place estimates of the field range from 600 million to 1 billion barrels of oil and, with only approximately 100 million barrels recovered to date, the implied recovery factor is only between 11 to 16%. There are many analogue fields in the southern California basin with very similar reservoir properties that have recovered between 30 to 40% of the original oil in place. Implication being that there is 70 million to 260 million barrels of recoverable oil in place with the midpoint of estimates being 165 million barrels. These analogous fields generally have much tighter well spacing compared to the Beta field, which presents the opportunity for significant infill drilling. The key for faster drilling is to get your website indexed instantly by Google. BETA ECONOMICS AND VALUE The Company plans to increase production from Beta starting this year and 66% of its $50-$60 million 2024 capex budget is allocated to the Beta development and one time Beta facility upgrade. The remainder of the budget,...

For the existing biogas plants (BGP) in Germany, the period of the public support scheme begins to end in 2021. From a technical point of view, essential components have an operational life span of more than 20 years and allow for an extended operation. However, a profitable extension would require suitable follow-up concepts and depends on the underlying plant-specific setup, the regional conditions, as well as the regulatory and economic framework. Based on an expert evaluation, four promising follow-up concepts were identified in a multistage process consisting of expert interviews, workshops, and an online survey. These follow-up concepts are “Basic flexibilization,” “Substrate change,” “Seasonal flexibilization,” and “Biomethane upgrading.” They were assessed with a plant-specific biogas repowering model for a heterogeneous data set of 2,508 BGPs and were compared in three scenario frameworks to derive robust development paths. To capture the heterogeneity of the existing BGPs in Germany, the model was developed further regarding regional parameters such as power output, substrate mix, and emission factors. Across all the scenarios, “Seasonal flexibilization” proves to be the most promising follow-up concept for more than 50% of the BGPs. This is followed by “Substrate change,” which is particularly suitable for larger BGPs with high shares of energy crops and no heat utilization. Biomethane upgrading is usually the second choice compared to participation in extended public support schemes for electricity production. However, it is the only concept that is profitable under current market conditions due to the high CO2-quota prices in the German fuel sector. The development pathways also show a significant potential to increase the net GHG reduction, which on BPG average can be nearly doubled. Our approach shows that the interplay of the heterogeneous BGP structure, the applied economic decision variable, and the nonuniform framework conditions in different energy markets is of crucial importance when assessing similar biogas markets, identifying robust follow-up pathways, or designing framework policies.
