North American Power Plant Services Markets Changing Operation Philosophies and Outdated Service Agreements Impair Pace of Growth of Power Plant Services “Overcapacity, the Enron scandal, and rising gas prices have effected a revamp in the operation and maintenance (O&M) paradigm of both old and new power plants in North America.” Energy and Power Generation Analyst Team Frost & Sullivan

Upheaval in the U.S power sector has created uncertainty regarding existing contracts and signing of new service agreements Large number of plant owners have postponed annual outages during 2002, citing economic down turn and depressed electricity prices as reasons With the demand for new power plants drying up, all the original equipment manufacturers (OEM) are increasingly focusing on the service market as the major source of revenue, thus increasing its competition Industry Trends

While the utilities and public power producers are warming up to the idea of large scale outsourcing of plant services, certain segment of industrial end-users are still averse to losing operational control of power generation assets Large independents such as the Wood Group and Hickham are emerging as a major competition to the OEMs both in supply of spares and services The utility affiliated service companies including Edison O&M, LG&E, Sempra Energy Solutions and Connectiv Operating Services are increasingly entering the full O&M market Industry Trends (Cont’d)
