I made it to second round for a very well known independent power generation company, based in london, but job is the states (where I'm from). I will be reporting directly to the CFO.

Now, this position entails a lot of modeling and presentations, which I have experience in, but I'm not too familar with the energy sector, specifically on power generation companies;

I know enough of how they operate, and the process of converting raw materials into fuel--but unsure on what type research sources the analysts use ?

Any analysts out there that cover energy, how do you approach your analysis?

Cheers!
 
When deregulation forced utilities to divest generation assets, they spun off IPPs and signed long-term (10y+) contracts for all their output. They have all the risk and return of a heavily regulated entity. If you desire a wilder ride, try merchant power generation.

Here's a decent intro: http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Todays-Electricity-Business-Shively/dp/0974174416/ref=sr_1_1/102-1868954-1929737?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1192501101&sr=1-1
 
Quick Q: What exactly was the cause of deregulation that made these power generation companies reduce it's assets? Does it apply internationally?

DH--Can I get your email. I have a few other questions. Thanks for your help.

'cause' of deregulation was the gummint. Why? They wanted a free market.

Here's an intro: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_market

or just type "power deregulation" into Google..
 
Ok. I understand basics of the industry, One question I has was what type of models do the analysts design in order to look at growth opportunities or aquiring or building a plant.
 
That's beyond me. It certainly varies market by market. Pre-deregulation it was based on demographics and weather outlook.
