Principles of Valuation in the Power Sector

April 10-11, 2012 • New York, NY
September 5-6, 2012 • Denver, CO
November 28-29, 2012 • Houston, TX


Power Valuation is a comprehensive introductory program using lectures, discussion and case studies to demonstrate how to value both individual assets and whole companies in the energy sector. The program is led by Jim Bowen, a veteran practitioner with over 15 years of experience valuing hundreds of power plants and utilities.

Power Valuation – unlike generic valuation courses – focuses specifically on the energy sector. You get information and techniques that have direct application to the industry.

Over the course of two days – in lectures, discussion and case studies – Power Valuation provides the background, perspective and tools you need to value individual assets and whole companies with confidence.

You’ll leave the course knowing the essential concepts and methodologies it takes to succeed.

Topics include

Identifying the valuation methodologies specific to the U.S. power sector, including DCF, comparables, multiples and real options

Understanding value drivers and capital structure

Techniques to find the data used for modeling assumptions

Valuing single plants, T&D assets, regulated generation assets and whole companies

Incorporating revenue drivers, including forward and spot pricing, and implied heat rates
