EI NEW ENERGY DATA OVERVIEW• EI NEW ENERGY provides strong reference data each week.

• EI NEW ENERGY features both proprietary data on comparative

energy costs and compilations of data on electricity, biofuel and

carbon markets. With the latter, existing data is presented in original

ways or aggregated to provide a single, easy reference point.

• Each set of proprietary data includes a reader’s guide to

understanding and interpreting the tables and charts,

expressed in layman’s terms.

• The PDF version of EI NEW ENERGY contains a data summary,

focusing largely on prices and indexes, while the web version

includes the full dataset–the summary plus additional data,

such as comparative energy costs, and electricity and biofuel

fundamentals. As such, the website is the preferred delivery

form for anyone interested in EI NEW ENERGY data.

• EI NEW ENERGY proprietary data provides the foundation for

a variety of other tables and analysis in our editorial coverage,

particularly on the comparative economics of different energy forms.

• Historical data going back to 2010 will also be available for download

as a “Data Source” product by summer 2012.

• Data delivery will be further enhanced in future development phases

of the EI NEW ENERGY product, including interactive access.

BEYOND THE CONVENTIONAL

Launched in spring of 2012, EI NEW ENERGY is the latest publication

in the suite of Energy Intelligence products and services. Tracking the

transition of the global energy industry from conventional fossil fuels to

alternative energy forms, EI NEW ENERGY creates a bridge between

old and new and between policy and the market. The publication also

provides data on electricity, carbon, biofuels and finance that builds on

the broad, global focus of the publication, while offering the depth and

originality to provide additional value to subscribers.

GUIDE TO NEW ENERGY DATA

PUBLISHED DATASNAPSHOTS

This section comprises three tables with key data published in

a concise format:

Regional Power Generation Costs: Derived from our proprietary

data, this provides an at-a-glance comparison of the cost of building

new gas, coal, wind and solar capacity in three regions, the US,

Europe and Japan.

Reference Prices: A summary of key prices from carbon, oil, gas

and coal futures markets, this provides a reference source each

week.

Renewable Energy Price Parity: Also based on in-house data,

this shows the gas or carbon price that would be needed for new

renewable energy to match the profitability of new gas-fired power,

without subsidies, in the US, Europe and Japan. It includes current

market prices for gas and carbon dioxide (CO2) as a reference point.

POWER

This section contains our main proprietary data on electricity

generating costs.

Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE): Our proprietary dataset of

comparative power generation costs–known in industry jargon

as the Levelized Cost of Energy–provides a guide to the cost

of generating electricity from different energy forms. It includes

capital, operating, fuel and carbon costs over the lifetime of

a project, calculated as a break-even price for electricity delivered

to the high-voltage grid.

This data is presented in different forms, graphically depicting

the main conclusions in both detailed and easy-to-read formats,

the comparative investment costs, and the key parameters

underlying our calculations.

Regional Power Generation Costs

NEDATA1.2

EI New Energy’s data includes:

• Eight forms of renewable energy: onshore wind,

offshore wind, utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) solar power,

concentrated solar power (CSP), wave-tidal, biomass,

geothermal and large hydro;

• Four forms of fossil fuel energy: coal with and without

carbon capture and storage (CCS), open-cycle gas turbine

(OCGT) and combined-cycle gas turbine (CCGT), with

separate data for the US and Europe; and

• Nuclear power.

Fuel Switching Threshold: This graph, based on our

in-house calculations, shows the carbon price at which

it becomes profitable to switch from coal- to gas-fired

power generation, in the US and Europe.

Power Generation by Source: A set of 11 charts tracking

the breakdown of power generation by source (fossil

fuel, nuclear, hydro and renewable) in key countries in the

Americas, Europe and Asia, over the past seven years.

Global Electricity Prices: A summary of wholesale

electricity prices in key markets in the Americas, Europe,

Asia-Pacific and Russia.

BIOFUELS

Biofuel Prices: A table of key ethanol and biodiesel prices

in the US and Europe, plus a comparison of US ethanol and

gasoline prices.

Biofuel Fundamentals: Supply, demand and inventory data

for ethanol and biodiesel in the US and Europe.

NEDATA1.3

CARBON

Global Carbon Prices: A summary of prices for

benchmark months in established carbon markets

in Europe, the US and Asia-Pacific.

EU Carbon Futures Prices: Historical and forward EU

carbon prices, expressed in both euros and US dollars,

in graph and table format.

FINANCE

Equity Markets: The relative performance of different

equity classes (clean energy, nuclear, oil and gas, and

broad equities), based on Standard & Poor’s indexes.

DATA SOURCE

A premium product, EI New Energy’s online Data Source

provides downloadable historical series for published data,

going back to at least 2010—illuminating the current and

past dynamics at play, and the underlying trends.
