The energy industry is undergoing considerable volatility. Structural change is occurring globally. Providers must pass anticipated increases through to customers and/or operate more efficiently. In the US, for instance, the Energy Act of 2005 removed some barriers to consolidation, which is fueling merger and acquisition activity. While investments in new energy assets such as alternate fuel sources and renewable energy are growing, some providers are turning to coal-fired generation, which raises a host of environmental compliance issues.
