Electric utilities should resume investments in infrastructure as the economy
recovers, aided by the release of $3.4 billion of federal stimulus funds for Smart
Grid projects. On a global scale, the Smart Grid will be massive and complex,
there will be funding gaps and implementation setbacks, and there are companyspecific
risks associated with technology and execution, but we believe AMI
projects will accelerate in the U.S. in 2010 and start in Europe in 2011. We
continue to find the Smart Grip space attractive, and our top Smart Grid pure-play
picks for 2010 are EnerNOC (ENOC/OW) and Itron (ITRI/OW). The J.P. Morgan
Smart Grid Basket (Bloomberg: JPSMARTG), created by the J.P. Morgan Delta
One desk, leverages the themes discussed in this report.
• We believe the Smart Grid will look similar to the internet; it will be of
massive scale and complexity, drawing in suppliers from many industries.
The IEA predicts that $10 trillion will need to be invested in carbon
abatement technologies in developed nations over 20 years, and we believe a
large portion of the investment will go toward connecting new energy sources
to the grid, optimizing transmission and distribution, and enabling network
connectivity to billions of appliances, lighting, heating and HVAC systems,
hundreds of millions of grid components, homes, electric vehicles, and
businesses. The AMI upgrade alone could exceed $30 billion.
• In late 2009 the Department of Energy announced the distribution of $3.4
billion of funds for allocation to 100 smart grid projects that call for the
installation of about 18 million smart meters, representing ~13% of US homes.
The DoE expects ~$4.7 billion in private investment for the projects for total
spending of ~$8.1 billion. Aside from funding the targeted projects, the
decision removes an impediment to the decision process for utilities that did
not benefit.
• Security and standards will be key enablers of implementation. We are
encouraged by how quickly standards are being defined and embraced by
governments, utilities, auto OEMs, and appliance manufacturers. That said, we
expect a fragmented, heterogeneous implementation that will make investing
difficult.
• The JPSMARTG basket of stocks has traded down 3.8% in 2010,
underperforming the S&P 500 by ~650bp; however, the basket is up 58% over
the last 12 months. We believe the pullback in the basket suggests there are
opportunities in the Smart Grid space for investors to build positions in stocks
that offer concentrated exposure to investment activity in the Smart Grid.
• Our Applied Technology top pick pure plays in the Smart Grid are
Overweight-rated EnerNOC and Itron. EnerNOC, down 4.5% YTD, is the
leading provider of demand response solutions in North America. Itron, up
4.1%, is a leading supplier of meter solutions to the water, gas, and electricity
industries, globally.
