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.

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.
