BURLINGTON, Mass., Oct 16, 2008 (News Release)
Rising prices, aggressive policy change and large scale capital investment
are all signs that point to a strong shift toward cleaner, smarter energy
use. The initial momentum has been focused upstream, but the adoption of
cleaner, smarter energy solutions at the end user level is now emerging. In
response, global energy and utility industry consulting firm KEMA (www.kema.com)
has launched an advisory service to focus on the business issues and market
dynamics of clean energy at the retail level.
"The retail segment of the clean energy industry is clearly poised to grow.
The opportunities and risks are evolving rapidly," said Hugo van Nispen,
president and managing director, KEMA Inc. "Yet many in the industry are
challenged to understand the specifics. KEMA's retail clean energy advisory
service will help fill the analytical gaps, providing clients with a fact
base and insights to guide strategy and action."
The Retail Clean Energy Markets advisory service (www.kema.com/retail_clean_energy)
centers around five core sectors categorized from a customer purchasing
perspective: clean grid power, clean distributed power, energy efficiency
services, demand response and carbon services. The subscriber-based service
includes: Clean Energy Markets, a monthly de-brief of industry developments;
Clean Energy Outlook, an annual forecast of the retail market opportunity;
Sector Profiles; admission to KEMA's annual Clean Energy Summit; and ad-hoc
consultancy.
KEMA's Clean Energy Markets August report (www.kemacleanenergymarkets.com)
features an interview with US House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, clean
energy business opportunity scorecards for the Big 3 automakers, and
in-depth articles "The Smartest Meter: Who wins, consumers or utilities" and
"In the LEED: Looking beyond the hype to size real 'green premium' in
commercial real estate." The September issue featured "Obamanomics: Sizing
the retail clean energy impact of the Obama energy policy." The recently
issued October issue covers new models for utility green power marketing,
scorecards for investor-owned utilities and private providers in green power
delivery, and an analysis of the retail clean energy impact of the Wall
Street bailout bill.
The KEMA Annual Clean Energy Summit will be held March 3 -- 5, 2009 in
Houston, Texas.
