The government is taking steps to reduce France's dependence upon nuclear power, and by end-2014, it is expected to adopt a law to determine how to do this. This follows on from President Hollande's electoral promise to curb the use of nuclear power. But non-government bodies, such as the Renewable Energy Syndicate, believe that the government is not moving fast enough to meet its target - that 50% of electricity is generated by non-nuclear sources in 2025. We highlight that the government's position on nuclear energy continues to be relatively ambiguous, and we have seen signs that President Francois Hollande might backtrack on his promise to reduce the share of nuclear energy to 50% by 2025. So what are the alternatives to nuclear power? Investors are turning away from gas - hydraulic fracturing for shale gas is off the agenda, and problems with LNG supply from Algeria in late 2013, and rising coal imports limit the opportunities here. Whether or not renewable energy can take advantage of the opportunities for investment remains to be seen.

The fact that the US spent most of January 2014 in the grip of a polar vortex, which sent temperatures plummeting to record lows, served to underscore some of our long-held views on US coal-gas dynamics. We have long believed that although a glut of cheap shale gas has driven a significant short-term switch from coal to gas in electricity generation, the composition of the country's energy mix will ultimately hinge on fluctuations in gas prices. To this end, we had already seen coal generation rebound as gas prices climbed higher in the first half of 2013, and this rebound appears to have further to go after sub-zero temperatures in early 2014 contributed to record withdrawals of natural gas from storage. This in turn led to a surge in Henry Hub spot prices, which caused some utilities to switch back to coal as gas became more expensive. It is in this context that we reiterate that although gas prices will likely fall back as the cold weather abates, the recent surge in gas prices as a result of increased demand can be viewed as a short-term proxy - representative of what might happen to pricing dynamics in the US power market when Henry Hub prices inevitably rise towards the end of the current decade.

Colombia's mining and energy planning unit released an ambitious 2013-2027 electricity strategy aimed at boosting power sector capacity. This development, which is indicative of government efforts to encourage investment in the energy sector to satisfy an uptick in demand for electricity, is a positive step for the sector and aligns with our broadly positive outlook for Colombia's market. The plan comes off the back of the government's decision to sell its stake in electricity provider Isagen. The move, which could raise up to COP5trn (US$2.6bn), should help fund infrastructure investment once August 2014's presidential elections are complete -although critics fear that this money will end up being used elsewhere. The sale is already reported to have attracted interest from numerous international utilities. Overshadowing this optimism are ongoing concerns about security. The distances between urban, electricity-consuming populations and sources of hydroelectric power are great, and the FARC considers many of these parts of the country to be under their control. Sabotage of power infrastructure projects is, unfortunately, commonplace.

Power Backup Market in India 2014 states the demand-supply gap in power distribution as the main reason for the boom in the power backup market. The power backup sector can be categorized into four broad segments, UPS, Diesel Generators, Inverters and Batteries. UPS segment has witnessed a consistent rise in demand owing to the rapid development of the IT sector along with growing consciousness among individuals to protect costly electronic equipments which can be adversely affected by sudden power failures. Demand for generator sets come from various sectors such as IT and ITes, telecom and construction while inverters are primarily used in households, shops and commercial establishments. Manufacturing hub of the Indian power backup industry is concentrated in North India, particularly Himachal Pradesh, and Kolkata. Power deficit in the southern region of the country has triggered the demand for power backup in these regions. Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala generate the highest share of the overall demand for power backup in the country. Shortage in coal and gas, the primary raw materials for power generation, further aggravates the shortage in power supply. With time, consumers have emerged to be less tolerant about the duration of power cuts, thus providing tremendous growth prospects, which players can capitalize upon.
