Barron's: Power plans may lead to glut

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Efforts to meet the growing power needs in the U.S. could result in a glut of supplies and weigh on upcoming electric power generator earnings, according to a report in this week's Barron's.

The power industry plans to add as much as 290,000 megawatts of generating capacity over the next six years -- an increase of almost 40 percent to current capacity of 760,000 megawatts, the report said. A single megawatt can provide enough power to service 750 homes.
However, nationwide prices for electricity have dropped to less than $50 per megawatt, according to a survey compiled for Barron's, from about $125 in May and a U.S. average of more than $200 in December.
As a result, some industry observers predict an overproduction of supplies that could have adverse effects on electric generation companies who had been benefiting from the high wholesale power prices, the Barron's cover story said.
The report said Wall Street has begun to realize that the opportunity in generator stocks, such as Duke Energy (DUK: news, chart, profile), AES Corp. (AES: news, chart, profile), Calpine (CPN: news, chart, profile) and Southern Co. (SO: news, chart, profile), could be winding down. The Standard & Poor's electric utility index rose by more than 40 percent last year, but this year, the index is down 10.4 percent -- that's more than the S&P 500's decline of 8 percent and the Dow Jones industrial average's 2.5 percent fall.
Shares of Duke Energy have dropped from the 52-week high of $47.74 seen in May to trade just under $40, while AES Corp. saw its shares decline 46 percent from their 52-week high of $72.81 in October to trade around $39.
Unless demand for power increases at a rate similar to the expected build out of power generation, the Barron's article warned, the market could end up with surplus power and keep investors away from power generation companies.
