Coal is no longer the stable, reliable sleeping giant. It is the largest source of global electricity generation, a key fuel supply for heavy industry, and a dynamic international commodity. Anyone with exposure to electricity markets depends on up-to-date and complete coverage of upstream fuel markets, including electricity utilities, independent power producers, and gas companies. For them, even small, unhedged movements in coal prices can mean millions in earnings performance. PIRA’s INTERNATIONAL COAL SERVICE provides the critical market intelligence that can be relied on — and profited on — by these decision-makers:
- Electric utilities and other coal consumers. INTERNATIONAL COAL helps end-users make decisions on where and when to secure coal supply, improving supply flexibility and diversifying supply sources.
- Traders and marketers. INTERNATIONAL COAL provides critical market intelligence for coal, gas and electricity traders, who need to know the cost of coal to evaluate future coal-gas and coal-electricity spreads to gauge inter-fuel competition and profitable market opportunities.
- Coal producers. This service helps marketers to anticipate marketing opportunities before they occur, and monitor supply- and demand-side developments across the globe.
- Shipping merchants. The INTERNATIONAL COAL SERVICE provides valuable insights into the demand for shipping services along the major seaborne coal routes.
- Banks and financial institutions. The profitability of coal companies depends critically on the price. How long will the bull run last? Will new mine projects flood the market and crush profitability? Will demand continue to strengthen, or will it flatten if China slows down? For anyone with exposure to the massive infrastructure investments of siting new mines or building new power stations, well researched answers to these questions aren’t just helpful, they are imperative. The INTERNATIONAL COAL SERVICE not only provides analysis on next month’s market, but also updates on supply/demand over the longer term — crucial information for companies evaluating multi-million investments.
