ENERTECH QUARTERLY

Oil Price and Impact on the Energy Technology

Sector:

There have been many questions recently around the

impact of the oil price on our sector. At EnerTech we have

a very broad investment strategy in the Energy Technology

Sector and have focused on technologies that reduce costs

of production and that create real reductions in the level of

energy consumption.

We see the recent decline in oil prices as a great

opportunity for new technologies that help bring down the

costs as O&G producers are forced to become even more

competitive in a low oil price environment. Our ECP IV

investment in Markwater, now rebranded as Western

Oilfield Equipment Ltd., is an example of a technology that

allows drillers to recover and re-use expensive oil-based

muds and provides a payback of $3-$5 thousand per day in

savings. While drilling has declined in the current

environment, solutions like Western Oilfield provide such

strong ROIs to operators that they are seeing an increased

amount of interest in their technology notwithstanding the

current down turn.

There has also been an increased focus in the Digital Oil

field, which involves the digitization and/or automation of

various aspects of exploration and production. This

represents a great opportunity for us and we see significant

value in technologies like these for cost reduction within Oil

& Gas companies.

It is also important to put the recent oil price decline into

context:

There have been two severe declines in the price of oil

in the past 15 years (2001 & 2008). The average

duration of these declines was approximately 10

months.

According to Reuters, 10 of 12 OPEC producing

countries are not able to balance their budgets with oil

below $70, with some requiring oil prices well above

$100.

Political instability in the Middle East has a strong

potential to impact short and long term oil price trends.

A very small amount of oil goes into electricity

production. Low cost natural gas is a much bigger

factor for renewables and power production. It is also

important to remember that natural gas prices have

been low for a number of years.

The long term factors driving the energy sector

including the continued drive to improve living

standards for developing nations will continue to

increase long term energy demand.

At EnerTech, we view the recent oil price decline as an

opportunity to continue to build our portfolio with

companies at attractive valuations offering cost reducing

technologies in all areas of the energy landscape.

Managing Director, EnerTech Capital

The Electric Utility - A Brief Modern

History

For most of the last century, electric utilities were vertically

integrated monopolies. Then, as now, safety and reliability

were the industry’s guiding principles. The industry upheld

these principles through a culture of self-reliance and

centralized control. Energy generation, transmission and

distribution assets were all built, owned and operated by

utilities. During this era, electricity, especially in the US,

was extremely inexpensive. Then, in the early 1970s things

started to change due to higher prices, environmental

pressures and deregulation.

The 1973 oil embargo caused a sharp increase in oil prices.

At the same time a growing environmental movement

brought public pressure to bear on utilities to add

conservation and energy efficiency programs to their

customer offerings. In 1978, the Public Utility Regulatory

Policy Act (PURPA) was enacted as one of the first laws that

deregulated energy companies and enabled customers to

participate in the supply of electricity. Among other things,

it also increased efficiency by encouraging cogeneration.

From the mid-1980s and into the 1990s the utility business

model continued to evolve as utilities diversified operations

and sought out new opportunities that were compatible

with their existing regulated utility business. Meanwhile,

customer-side energy systems, primarily in the form of large

and small cogeneration, and energy efficiency projects

started to have an impact on energy grid conditions. A

capacity crisis in New England in the early 2000s expanded

and formalized the role of customers on the energy grid.

Power pools started offering incentives to customers willing

to stand ready to curtail consumption to help stabilize the

grid during peak demand periods leading to the dawn of the

Demand Response (DR) era.

The popularity of DR grew over the next several years.

Comverge, a former EnerTech portfolio company that went

public in 2007, and EnerNOC, today one of the largest

providers of energy intelligence software and services, and

several other Curtailment Service Providers (CSPs) helped

launch DR as a stand-alone service.

CSPs made residential, commercial, institutional and

industrial customers part of the solution to the peak load

and transmission/distribution congestion issues faced by

utilities. DR evolved to control discrete loads for one to six

hour time periods for four to eight days per year. The

amount of load under management increased dramatically

from 2005 to 2010 solidifying DR as an established business.

Distributed Energy Resource Management (“DERM”) – The Evolution of North

American Utilities

Page 4: EnerTech Capital Newsletter February 2015

ENERTECH QUARTERLY

As DR became more mainstream, engineers, entrepreneurs,

and researchers expanded the concept of ‘excess’ capacity/

energy ‘hidden’ on the customer premise as a way to

support electric grid operations and lower costs. Key

considerations to expand the use of these assets included

the following:

Ensure low cost and timely connectivity to assets

Coordinate use of assets to solve grid operational and

reduce costs for the customer

Understand when an asset is available for use other than

for its primary purpose

Build a system that reliably responds when needed

Create business models and/or regulatory programs

with the proper economic incentives

The popularity of demand-side management and distributed

generation coincided with growing centralized energy

challenges including: increased network congestion,

generation retirements and restrictions on the type of new

plants that could be built. Mindful of the issues, policy

makers and regulators developed programs that once again

looked to the customer side of the meter for solutions

leading to the birth of the Distributed Energy Resources

(DER ). Greentech Media defines DER as follows:

“DER is a package of customer-side technologies including

energy efficiency, demand response, distributed generation

and storage (both thermal and electric), and smart electric

vehicle charging. These technologies can play a critical role in

increasing the efficiency and reliability of the power system,

reducing costs, and integrating increasing levels of variable

renewables, like wind and solar. They can benefit both

consumers and grid managers.”

Transition to the Edge

The proliferation of DER shifted the mindset of utilities.

Recognizing the need to replace the decline of centrally

generated Megawatts, utilities focused more on generation

and management strategies available at the edge of the

network. This potential was not without its challenges

however. The intermittency of distributed renewable

generation attributed primarily to solar, and to a lesser

degree, wind was a key challenge. This issue was

exacerbated by the disaggregated nature of solar and wind

deployments. The combined impact created unprecedented

operational problems on the grid. Utilities needed to

integrate these deployments into their networks but found

it difficult to meet the challenges through a centralized

systems. It soon became apparent that the most cost

effective and efficient way to manage distributed energy

resources was with a Distributed Energy Resource

Management System (DERMS). This market shift to the grid

edge was a big “aha moment” with revolutionary

consequences.

At the Edge

The shift to the grid edge has inspired the launch of new

technologies and viable business models that use behind the

meter resources to benefit both customers and the grid.

EnerTech’s investment theme follows these trends, focusing

on DER technologies including: demand management,

distributed generation, DERMS and distributed storage,

arguably the least developed of these three and where a

game changing solution is yet to occur.

EnerTech Portfolio Companies in the DERMs space

Enbala Power Networks

Enbala software is extremely unique in that customer

premise assets enlisted in the network both statically and

dynamically indicate whether they are available to be used

for something other than their primary purpose. Taking a

variable speed pump as an example. Its full load operation

might be required between certain hours, otherwise the

unused capability can be used to support whatever Enbala

chooses – firming of renewable generation; relaxing

distribution system congestion issues; avoiding a coincident

peak for the customer, etc.

Tangent Energy Solutions

Tangent’s Distributed Energy Resource Management System

(DERMS), named Tangent AMP™, monitors grid, facility and

on-site generation assets, and alerts customers ahead of

h igh-value economic opportunit ies . Demand

Design™ and Demand Design PLUS™ build on Tangent

AMP™ to actively manage customer demand and integrate

generation assets in response to these opportunities. By

uniquely building out a DER solution from the customer side

of the meter, and monetizing it through exclusive

relationships with energy retailers, municipal utilities and

other Load Serving Entities (LSEs), Tangent motivates and

empowers customers to become price makers on the

energy grid while making it easier for the energy industry to

access and integrate distributed energy resources.

EnerTech Portfolio companies EnergySavvy and REGEN

Energy also play within the DERM space. EnergySavvy’s

software is used by leading utilities to improve energy

efficiency and demand-side management (DSM) program

performance. REGEN’s wireless energy management

system controllers help customers simplify energy efficiency

and demand response, manage electrical demand for

building equipment, and reduce costs.
