src=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/energyexchange\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/38\/files\/2012\/07\/Andeck-Greg-large-214x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"171\" height=\"263\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The recent merger of Duke Energy and Progress Energy represents yet another turning point for the electric utility sector, with significant implications for public health and the environment.\u00a0 Duke\u2019s six-state footprint \u2013 Florida, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, North Carolina and South Carolina \u2013 offers it an opportunity to lead the way on clean energy deployment.\u00a0 The question is: Will the new Duke Energy \u2013 now the largest utility in the country \u2013 harness its size and scale to accelerate investments in\u00a0energy efficiency and renewable energy, or stay anchored to the past?\u00a0 EDF\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.edf.org\/approach\/partnerships\/corporate\">partnerships with Wal-Mart, FedEx and McDonalds<\/a> have shown that when large companies are motivated, they are a powerful force for change.\u00a0 But change doesn\u2019t come easily.\u00a0 It requires vision, leadership and a constant willingness to innovate.<\/p>\n<p>This is true not just for Duke Energy, but for electric utilities around the country.\u00a0 Over the past two years, four of the five largest investor-owned utilities have experienced a merger or change in the CEO role \u2013 AEP, Duke, Exelon and Southern Co.\u00a0 The steps taken by these companies and their leadership will have a profound impact on our antiquated electric utility grid, human health and the environment.\u00a0 The most visionary utility companies will do three things exceedingly well:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><strong>Get out ahead of environmental regulation <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In 2002, Duke Energy supported efforts to tackle power plant pollution in North Carolina by supporting the \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.edf.org\/news\/n-c-environmental-defense-praises-clean-smokestacks-bill\">Clean Smokestacks Act<\/a>.\u201d\u00a0 Xcel Energy followed a similar model in Colorado and endorsed the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.xcelenergy.com\/Environment\/Doing_Our_Part\/Clean_Air_Projects\/Colorado_Clean_Air_-_Clean_Jobs_Plan\">Clean Air Clean Jobs Act<\/a>.\u201d\u00a0 These landmark laws significantly accelerated clean-up of the dirtiest power plants in those two states and made it possible for the utilities to recover the costs of their investments.\u00a0 It also enabled Duke and Excel to take early steps to modernize their fleets and prepare for future federal clean air requirements.\u00a0 As a result of early actions, both companies are well-positioned for EPA\u2019s recent Clean Air Rules \u2013 unlike the utility giant AEP, which continues to delay critical human health protections.\u00a0 The world\u2019s most successful companies skate to where the puck is headed, not to where it is, and are more competitive as a result.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><strong>Treat efficiency and smart grid investments as new revenue centers, not side projects<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The fact is that most electric utilities still see energy efficiency investments as side projects separate from their core business \u2013 generating power.\u00a0 Without state building codes or energy efficiency standards in place, utility investment in energy efficiency remains low.\u00a0 The reason is simple.\u00a0 Even in states with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.raponline.org\/featured-work\/utility-business-models-providing-incentives-for-energy-savings\">decoupled rate structures<\/a> in place, building nuclear plants is more profitable than energy efficiency projects.\u00a0 Large generating plants require a large investment with a guaranteed rate of return over a long project lifetime.\u00a0 In comparison, energy efficiency projects are generally small, often have an uncertain return and a short project life.\u00a0 EDF is working with leading energy companies and regulators to craft new incentive models that make efficiency investments attractive, but utility companies must be willing to fundamentally alter their business models.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><strong>See competition as opportunity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Even in highly regulated markets, new market entrants and competitors are beginning to change the face of utilities with strong monopoly power.\u00a0 The <a href=\"http:\/\/energync.org\/feature\/study-finds-decline-in-solar-costs\">costs of solar panels have dropped by over a third<\/a> in the past few years, making solar energy cost competitive with retail electricity prices in many parts of the country.\u00a0 Companies like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.solarcity.com\/\">SolarCity<\/a> are even <a href=\"http:\/\/www.edf.org\/energy\/innovation\/solar-financing-innovation\">financing and then leasing solar systems<\/a> to home owners, enabling cash-strapped customers to reduce their dependence on the grid.\u00a0 Hundreds of companies now exist to help all kinds of customers reduce their energy bills and dependence on electric utilities.\u00a0 (I should know \u2013 I just insulated my attic and crawl space \u2013 and am already benefitting from lower electric bills.)\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Utility companies that help bring energy efficiency and renewable energy to market can retain ownership of environmental attributes (like renewable energy credits) and earn new revenue streams.\u00a0 Otherwise, those benefits are likely to go to third parties or customers.\u00a0 Smart utilities recognize the threat that this small, yet growing base of companies provides to their business model, and aim to bring technologies and services to market faster than new competitors.\u00a0 Rather than trying to delay the inevitable, savvy utility leaders make their companies part of the solution \u2013 and profit from doing so.\u00a0 Companies like San Antonio\u2019s CPS Energy are making this idea a reality through partnerships with a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cpsenergy.com\/About_CPS_Energy\/Who_We_Are\/New_Energy_Economy\/index.asp\">wide range of service providers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The next generation of electric utilities and their leaders must run their businesses differently than their predecessors or risk being left behind.\u00a0 Just like the once monopoly-oriented telecom industry, those companies that are willing to adapt and transition to this new energy paradigm will prosper and be well rewarded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The recent merger of Duke
