Global nuclear power generation has been increasing for several years now, and a number of countries are committed to expanding their nuclear programs. Through 2015, most of the growth potential is located in Asia (Japan, Korea and China) and, to a lesser extent, in the CIS. The majority of the reactors under construction are located in these regions. Nuclear power has high capital costs and low variable costs, so that its commercial viability depends critically on the cost of capital – the rate of return it must pay investors and the price of electricity.
Current Status in Nuclear Finance
The World Energy Council issued a report comparing the merits of different sources of energy for electric power generation, based on three criteria: competitiveness (energy accessibility and availability), energy security and environmental impacts. The reports conclusions, summarized in the table below, show that nuclear and hydropower are the most advantageous solutions, based on these three criteria.
Nuclear Power looks very risky, as its product, wholesale electricity, is sold in very volatile markets. Looking ahead, these price risks are set to increase, for at least three reasons.
First, if Europe is serious about the 20% renewables energy target, wind generation will need to rise sharply, to perhaps 30-40% of total electricity output by 2020 (which will require as much wind capacity as all our current generation capacity). If so, when the wind blows there will often be more output than current demand, crashing the spot market with zero prices. In other hours prices will have to be much higher to give an annual average price high enough to pay the full cost of other generation. Price volatility will thus increase dramatically.
Constructing & Operating Nuclear Power Plant
Construction, operating, and regulatory risk are insured, leaving only market price risk, does it follow that the required rate of return must be high for new nuclear? Perhaps not, if the company issues a new financial instrument, the kWh bond. This bond will promise to pay the holder the average British pre-tax price of electricity for each kWh (unit) specified on the bond. For example, if the average UK retail electricity price (the average unit cost for a 3,300 kWh/year direct debit customer) is �0.09/kWh, and the bond is for 100kWh, the annual dividend would be �9, of that, the wholesale price might be �4, and the transmission, distribution and retailing margin �5.
