Mr. Collin Cain to present on market challenges
and opportunities for the nuclear power industry
WASHINGTON, D.C., February 13, 2006—Bates White announces
that Mr. Collin Cain will be speaking at the Law Seminars International
conference, “Managing the Modern Utility Rate Case”
in Las Vegas on February 13–14, 2006.
Mr. Cain’s presentation, “Déjà vu
All Over Again? Nuclear Power in Future Electric Rate Cases,”
discusses renewed prospects of nuclear power as a viable energy
source given recent market changes. To avoid repeating history,
he demonstrates why it is critical to assess key economic and
regulatory issues related to nuclear power plants in utility rate
cases prior to making any investments. Mr. Cain identifies the
primary drivers of risk in this market of uncertainty and shows
how, when properly considered, they can become investment options
that help alleviate potential future financial risks. Specifically,
he compares a no-investment option analysis to a real-options
analysis to demonstrate the importance of staged investments.
By objectively quantifying the risks, it will be possible to determine
the overall economic viability of nuclear power investments.
This conference will provide attorneys, government officials,
and professionals working in the energy industry with a solid
foundation on the regulatory impacts of the Energy Policy Act
of 2005. In addition, the conference will cover cost of capital
and M&A matters, innovative rates and demand response, new
technologies and their risks, and rate case treatment of fuel
costs.
