Alternative Energy Efficiency Solutions
as a wise investment
I would rather spend $8 billion implementing efficiency
than spend $8 billion on building a nuclear plant - Jim Rogers chief
executive of Duke Energy
A modernized energy efficient system increases property value.
Plurality is a key part of a total energy solution: no single energy source or solution will be enough of an impact on the bottom line.
An Alternative Energy Solution may incorporate:
- Solar photovoltaic;
- Wind Turbines;
- Geo Thermal Conduction;
None is so plentiful or without costs that it dominates the others. There's no silver bullet, just silver buckshot.
Energy Performance Projects returns dividends on
the investment. Funds that would have been spent on energy bills are
returned as investments into the facilities - re-investing every dollar
pays dividends for years after improvements.
A modernized energy efficient system increases
property value.
By upgrading or replacing building systems or equipment that is old and inefficient with state of the art energy efficient equipment, you will have higher quality systems, fewer breakdowns and reduced maintenance.
- Better lighting; air quality, and comfortable room temperatures increases production and employee retention.
- You cannot afford not to improve your energy performance, especially when faced with budgets cuts or competing priorities.
- Financing may be available for an Energy Performance Project even with no funds is allocated for building improvements.
Atlantic Energy brings an all-encompassing approach to facility and energy improvement by providing the low interest financing, the government grants, the engineering, the installation, execution and the guarantee.
Atlantic Energy's resources are as diverse as the clients
and industries they serve.
Atlantic Energy Maximizes The Revenue Potential.
New systems and equipment typically lower your energy costs. Several of our clients see energy savings of 15 - 70 % and, in addition, also reduce their long-term maintenance costs. You keep all of the savings once the equipment is paid off and any excess savings during the contract period.
The Alternative Energy Industry has made great strides in technology; every year, there's something new and investments are expected yields faster and bigger than the technology or internet bubble of the late 90's!
During 2007, solar stocks alone shot through the ceiling, gaining on average some 200 percent in value. First Solar, an industry stalwart, has traded from a low of $74 on Aug. 16, 2007, to a high of $317 on May 14 of this year.
Alternative Energy Investments are driven by commodities not technology. Any declines in crude oil prices will be felt because such activity upsets the price competitiveness of other alternative energy.
When the government tinkers with their energy policies, it can send shock waves through the industry. Atlantic Energy Solutions can survive the uncertainty of public policy.
Key Investment Points:
- sustainable competitive advantages;
- backlog of sales contracts;
- declining input costs;
- scalable technology platform;
- cash on balance sheet;
With oil and gas prices skyrocketing and output capacity for both peaking, the very real threat of energy security as well as affordability has finally arrived. This, coupled with mounting public concern over impact of carbon emissions, has public policy makers in a hot seat with little relief in sight.
We're hitting the pain threshold where the opportunity costs associated with not supporting rigorous renewable energy programs far outweigh their upfront capital expenditures.
And even if oil and gas prices do correct in the short-term - diminishing for a time the case for alternative energy solutions - mounting evidence shows that fossils fuels are in their twilight, for transport fuel and for power generation.
In fact, while public attention is squarely focused on prices and availability at the pump, industry experts warn an even larger supply crisis is mounting around power generation.
According to a published report from Exxon Mobil, the largest energy-consuming sector is not transportation or industry but power generation. By its own calculations, the U.S.-based oil and gas giant estimated some 35 percent of the world's total energy usage goes toward the production of electricity. Within two decades, global demand for electricity will skyrocket, fueled in large by rapid economic growth in developing markets where per-capita energy use is still relatively low.
Compared with North America, developing countries in the Asia-Pacific region use an estimated one-tenth the level used in North America. Exxon Mobil projects that by 2030, global energy demand will be 40 percent higher than in 2005. In developing countries such as those in Asia-Pacific, per capita energy use is expected to soar by 70 percent by 2030.
In the face of looming shortages, developing nations are jumping feet first into renewables. China, the world's biggest energy consumer after the United States and the biggest producer of greenhouse gases, is already running short on energy: The state Electricity Commission warned this month of chronic shortages this summer due, in part to depleted coal reserves
A recent alternative energy report from JP Morgan, citing data from the International Energy Agency, estimated that generating capacity by renewable energy across all categories - wind, solar, biomass and waste, geothermal, tide and wave, and hydro - will increase by 3.1 percent between 2004 and 2015, with most of the growth occurring in Europe. Increases in wind and solar capacity are forecast to be especially strong at 12 percent and 16 percent, respectively.
"The basic fundamentals of supply and demand dictate the success of renewables," said Jeffrey Segal, the founder of GreenChipStocks.com.
"All of our non-renewable resources will peak within the next 40 to 50 years. There is nothing that can fill the void besides renewables. The companies that can utilize these resources to generate electricity simply have a stronger long-term value."
Energy Performance Projects - The Many Benefits
Better Buildings
By upgrading or replacing building systems or equipment that is old and inefficient with state of the art energy efficient equipment, you will have higher quality systems, fewer breakdowns and reduced maintenance. When building occupants experience improved lighting, better air quality and more comfortable room temperatures, they are likely to be happier and more productive.
A Wise Investment
Energy Performance Projects allow you to divert funds that would have been spent on energy bills into investments into your buildings. This means that limited budgets can stretch further and a positive cash flow can be created. More modern, energy efficient systems can increase your property value and improve the marketability of your buildings.
Improvement Without Sacrifice
Energy Performance Projects allow you to finance projects even if no funds are allocated for building improvements. This means that you can still afford improvements when faced with budget cuts or competing priorities.
Cost Savings
New systems and equipment can lower your energy costs. Many owners see energy savings of 15 - 70 % and, in addition, also reduce their long-term maintenance costs. You keep all of the savings once the equipment is paid off and any excess savings during the contract period.
Proven Technologies and Expertise
Atlantic Energy uses industry-standard practices and proven energy-saving technologies and has an excellent track record for customer satisfaction and project performance. Atlantic Energy has the financial incentive to ensure that savings are achieved as represented.
One Stop Shopping
Atlantic Energy offers a streamlined approach to building owners for making facility improvements through a single contract. By utilizing our services, owners, can tackle the entire building as a whole rather than on a project per project basis. Atlantic Energy provides a full range of services and will continue working with you once the project is completed to ensure that you obtain the long-term energy goals.
Can't I do This Myself?
While owners can attempt to perform energy improvements in their buildings they will not be able to combine the package that Atlantic Energy can provide. Because of its experience in the industry, Atlantic Energy brings an all-encompassing approach to improving your building. By providing the low interest financing, the government grants, the engineering, the actual work and the guarantee, Atlantic Energy can maximize the potential savings. Typically, unless your business is an experienced Energy Performance Contractor, you will not be able to turn-key a package as efficiently and as competitively as we can.

We're in for a shock - Vaunted cap-and-trade bill does nothing about oil dependence
By Gal Luft - Baltimore Sun
June 2, 2009
Now, when the first signs of economic recovery may be in sight, it's time to ponder what kind of recovery we are likely to witness. Will it be the traditional V-shaped recovery in which economic growth bounces back from a slump, or will it be a W-shaped, double-dipped one in which one crisis follows the other for several years to come? Much of this depends on the price of oil.
Nearly a year ago, oil prices hit their near $150 peak. This price shock, according to some economists, contributed materially to the recession that a few months later caused prices to collapse by nearly $100 a barrel. The global recession shrank demand for crude. But all of this is going to change once growth resumes, and the oil market is far from ready to absorb the resurgence in demand.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) recently concluded that even with the current recession, by 2030 global demand for oil could increase by 25 percent. The agency found that at expected rates of oilfield depletion, to meet future demand for oil, four new Saudi Arabias will have to be added to the global oil market between now and 2030. But the current economic conditions have thwarted the much-needed investment in new production. The IEA predicted that investment in oil and gas exploration will fall by 20 percent in 2009, and the Saudi oil minister is predicting a "catastrophic" shortfall in petroleum production.
For the U.S, such an oil shock would come at a terrible time as hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer-funded governmental stimulus and bailouts percolate into the economy, leading to inflationary pressure and devaluing the dollar. This would force OPEC members which conduct their oil transactions in dollars to keep prices high in order to ensure sufficient government revenues.
While the next oil crisis is staring us in the face, Congress prefers to lower its eyes. What seems to be the signature energy legislation of the 111th Congress, the American Clean Energy and Security Act, (also known as the Waxman-Markey cap and trade bill) does virtually nothing to shield the economy from the devastation the coming oil crisis would no doubt cause. The bill's renewable electricity mandate, which requires utilities to get 20 percent of their electricity from renewable sources by 2020, would discourage the use of coal and natural gas, but since only 2 percent of U.S. electricity is made from petroleum it will do nothing to address our oil dependence problem. The bill's "cash for clunkers" program may help drive stockpiles of unsold Detroit cars off the lots, but in terms of oil dependence it is equally meaningless.
Even the provisions to encourage deployment of electric and plug-in hybrids, while important and useful, will not affect our near-term energy security, at least until battery costs are significantly reduced.
Sadly, the one provision that could have made a difference, an Open Fuel Standard to ensure 50 percent of new cars are flexible-fueled - capable of running on any blend of alcohol and gasoline - was watered down to meaninglessness by the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Such a standard, which adds less than $100 to the cost of a new car, could have enabled consumers to choose a fuel alternative at the pump if and when gasoline prices rise to $5 a gallon.
Devoid of any provision that could help strip oil of the strategic status derived from its virtual monopoly over transportation fuel, the Waxman-Markey bill is sowing the seeds for the next oil shock.
A better course would include not only an Open Fuel Standard but the removal of trade barriers affecting alternative fuels, such as the 54-cent tariff on imported ethanol. With a significant portion of our fleet capable of running on alternative liquid fuels and with free trade in alternative fuels allowing scores of developing countries to export billions of gallons of sugarcane ethanol to the U.S., we could withstand the next oil crisis with relatively little pain.
Congress and the Obama administration should ensure that any energy bill includes provisions that address not only the long-term implications of greenhouse gas emissions but the much nearer adversity coming to a gas station near you.
