3 Key Messages Energy viewed as National Strategic Asset - How to demystify? Strong drivers toward increasing connectivity (balance supply and demand mismatches), however, self-sufficiency, political agendas and commercial drivers impediments. Adoption of interruptible supply arrangements may ameliorate S/D imbalances. Electricity trade more acceptable. Energy prices will reflect a mix of national priorities (industrial competitiveness, HC exports) and increasingly different (and growing) supply costs. Oil/gas-fueled power continue to be most competitive for baseload. Solar PV progressively competitive for peak with diesel and then gas, and later for baseload vs. marginal gas costing. CSP (and nuclear?) most expensive- Case for energy highways and bilateral agreements? 3
