While we have long held the view that the glut of cheap gas in the US will drive the acceleration of gas-fired capacity expansion and determine the composition of the country's energy mix, we have also cautioned that an inevitable rise in gas prices would lead to fluctuations in coal-gas generation dynamics. With this in mind, it appears coal generation has rebounded in 2013 due to higher gas prices in the first half of the year. While we maintain that the biggest alterations to the US generation mix have already taken place and this short-term recovery in coal will dissipate as coal-fired capacity comes offline to comply with emission standards, we remain cognisant of the fact that gas prices are likely to rise as LNG export capacity comes online in 2016. This could mean that other forms of power generation become more competitive as gas prices rise over a longer timeframe - a point that crystallises when looking at the shortterm resurgence in coal.

It has been established that people use more energy in the month of December and subsequently suffer a shock when they get their bills in January. This is because December is often a time when families light up Christmas trees and outside lights, do a lot of holiday cooking and keep more lights on in the house for guests and parties. Days are also shorter, so homeowners need more electricity during this time of year.

On an ordinary day, electric power companies try to plan how much electricity is generated in the next days as they also try to predict what customers do according to historical records of usage. While it is impossible to know exactly how much energy will be used, grid energy storage methods are used to store large scale electricity within an electrical power grid. Electrical energy is stored during times when the production exceeds the consumption. In effect, electricity producer prices do not need to be sacked up and can be maintained at constant production levels. These grids have been long used in the utility industry for added efficiency. But in the past few years, improvements in grids have been introduced not only to keep a maintained productive level but to also take a step into a greener society as what Hartford Group International plans to do.
