Brief Excerpt from Industry Overview Chapter:

The electric power generation industry consists of 2,200 power generating plants
with combined revenue of $80 billion. Major companies include Duke Energy,
Exelon, American Electric Power, and Dominion Resources. The industry is highly
concentrated: the 50 largest firms operate more than 50 percent of the
generating facilities and earn over 85 percent of industry revenue. In addition
to investor-owned utilities, there are about 2,000 government-owned electric
power companies at the federal, state, and municipal level, and another 900
user-owned electric cooperatives.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Demand is driven by commercial, government, and residential needs for electrical
power, which depend on population growth, economic activity, and electricity
prices. Profitability is determined by government regulations and fuel costs.
Large companies have an advantage in negotiating fuel contracts and being able
to pass the costs of implementing government regulations directly to consumers.
Small companies can compete effectively by exploiting market niches, such as
offering "green power" in regulated markets. The industry is capital-intensive:
average annual revenue per employee is $642,000.
