Profit from Congress’ Power Grid Upgrade
Penny Sleuth Newsletter
Profit from Congress` Power Grid Upgrade By Ray Blanco October 8, 2010 Since early breakthroughs in electrical distribution leading back to Edison and Tesla, electricity has taken the burden off of human muscle power for household chores, granting us appliance-created leisure time. It has lit the dark of night with the flick of a switch. By powering global communications networks, it has lit our minds, as well. With few keyboard inputs, we have access to more information than any previous generation in history.

We tend to take cheap, reliable electricity very much for granted. I try not to. Spend a couple of weeks in sweltering Florida summer weather after a hurricane has knocked out your power and you wouldn`t either. Of course, since I live on a rural fringe at the edge of the Everglades, I tend to be one of the last power customers to see service restored. Fortunately, I have not been hit with a major storm this season in my locale, but season is not over yet (knock on wood). It is hard to see how people could have lived here year-round without electricity and air conditioning. You could say that air conditioning helped put Florida on the map.
But back to electricity. Unfortunately, the current power grid is a dinosaur tracing its roots back to early grid projects in the late 1800s. From that time on, the U.S. power grid grew in something of a haphazard, piecemeal fashion but did it grow! By 1940, 10% of U.S. energy consumption was supplied by the power grid. Today, more than 40% of U.S. energy consumption is supplied this way. With advances in electric automobile technology displacing some petroleum usage as a transportation fuel, I imagine this figure will only continue to rise. The electrical grid, however, still retains systemic design flaws with roots in the early days.
In part because of its pedigree, the reliability of our electrical grid is showing signs of degradation in the face of increasing demand. The North American power grid is interconnected in such a way that a small technical or human error can cause deadly cascading failures. Over the last 20 years, power outages have gone up more than 125%. One of the most complex systems ever built, it has proven increasingly prone to failing from causes ranging from hotter-than-usual weather to trees falling across power lines.
Clearly, we need an upgrade to the power grid utilizing the latest technology.
Congress has recognized this, and in 2007 passed an energy bill that addressed the need to modernize it. Called the “smart grid,” it would bring real intelligence to power distribution. Consider the early telephone networks, with teams of operators plugging on switchboards to make connections. Today, these networks are almost completely automated.
Human error is mitigated. If there is a fault in the network, voice and data are automatically rerouted through other links. This is the kind of improvement smart grid technology would bring to the electrical distribution network.

With the push toward alternative energy technology, new transmission lines will also be needed. Solar power, for example makes the most sense in the sunny desert U.S. Southwest. Wind power, on the other hand, is most readily available in the windy Midwest. If the U.S. ever starts building nuclear reactors again, these will also likely be sited in thinly populated areas. In each of these cases, it makes sense to build the new lines using the latest and greatest technologies, rather than obsolete ones.
Of course, these kinds of infrastructure upgrades and installations will carry a hefty price tag. There are literally hundreds of billions of dollars to be made in the smart grid business, both in the U.S., and abroad. Investors in the best smart grid and alternative energy companies will make fortunes. The leading company poised to reap the rewards from smart grid deployment and alternative energy is a small-cap Massachusetts-based technology firm that I think has serious growth potential right now.
