Electricity pricing: time-of-use tariffs by region?

Time-of-use tariffs mean end customers’ electricity prices are not fixed, but vary across time. ToU tariffs can reduce peak power demand by 10% on average. This data-file tracks the share of customers with time-of-use tariffs, by region, and then focuses in on interesting countries.

Seismic costs: 2D, 3D, onshore, offshore and microseismic?

Seismic survey costs are tabulated in this data-file based on public domain disclosures from E&Ps and seismic companies. Seismic costs can range from $4,000 to $1M per square kilometer, depending on the survey size, resolution, timing, and location. Key case studies are in the data-file.

US electricity customers: sales, pricing, metering, load-shifting?

Characteristics of 164M US utility customers, consuming 4,000 TWH pa of electricity, are broken down in this data-file. The data help to explain the recent return to load growth in the US, but also show the pace of deployment of smart meters, demand response, load-shifting and real-time pricing tariffs, amongst residential, commercial and industrial customers.

US vehicle ownership and fuel economy?

This data file assesses US vehicle ownership over time. Improving fuel economy has been muted by rebound effects, such as greater mobility and larger vehicles. Oil prices influence the types of vehicles being purchased, their masses and their fuel economy. EV ownership has also been rising and is cross-plotted against incomes and other variables.

Solar+battery co-deployments: cost profiles?

Solar+battery co-deployments allow a large and volatile solar asset to produce a moderate-sized and non-volatile power output, during 40-50% of all the hours throughout a calendar year. The smooth output is easier to integrate with power grids, including with a smaller grid connection. The battery will realistically cycle 100-300 times per year.

Steam generation: capex costs?

Steam power generation requires boilers, turbines, condensers and generators, which are often integrated into a steam generation “island” at coal, nuclear and CCGT power plants. Steam generation capex costs are estimated at $1,300/kW in this data-file, based on sampling component costs across 35 past projects.

Renewable PPAs and strike prices: a database?

This data-file tabulates power purchase agreements, strike prices and contract-for-difference details, across 100 renewables projects (wind and solar) over the past decade. From this, we can also back-calculate project IRRs, using our broader economic models.

The US CPI basket: how much is energy?

Energy is c15% of the US CPI basket, on average, from 2011-24. In other words, if energy prices suddenly doubled, this would ultimately create c15% inflation. c7% of the total is direct energy use and another 8% is energy embedded in other goods and services, as quantified in this look-through analysis.

Nitrogen rejection units: LNG cost impacts?

Some gas feeds contain 3-10% nitrogen content, and thus LNG plants will require dedicated Nitrogen Rejection Units, to ensure the resultant cargoes can be safely and efficiently transported. Nitrogen rejection units can add $0.3-0.7/mcf to the final delivered costs of LNG, based on calculations in this data-file.

Global gas prices: by country?

Global gas prices by country are often measured at the world-famous delivery points for liquids futures contracts, such as Henry Hub and the Netherlands’ TTF. This data-file takes a broader approach, aggregating the annual gas prices by country across twenty geographies.
