PG&E's Woes Have Spread to New York's ConEd, 3,000 Miles Away
by Jim Efstathiou Jr., Bloomberg
PG&E Corp.'s woes are spreading to the East Coast.
New York's Consolidated Edison Inc., which owns renewable energy projects that sell power to the California utility, was downgraded Friday by Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst Julien Dumoulin-Smith, saying there's a "good likelihood" PG&E will reject the contracts.
ConEd acquired solar, storage and wind assets in December through a $1.6 billion deal with Sempra Energy. Dumoulin-Smith cut his ConEd rating to neutral, from buy, and reduced his price target to $80 per share from $83. He also cited the utility's 12.5 percent interest in the Mountain Valley Pipeline project in the Virginias, which has been beset with construction delays and cost overruns.
ConEd spokesman Allan Drury said in an email the utility is aware of PG&E's potential bankruptcy and "will monitor any developments." ConEd shares fell 0.6 percent to $76.55 at 12:51 p.m. in New York.
In-depth: How Will PG&E's Bankruptcy Impact the CleanTech Industry?
Multiple representatives from ConEd will be speaking at the upcoming DistribuTECH, which takes place in New Orleans from February 5-7, 2019. Learn more about the speakers and register here.
What are the pros and cons of solar shingles?
Solar shingles are one of the newest ways to introduce your home to renewable energy. According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the U.S. reached a cumulative 53.3 gigawatts of solar energy capacity in 2017, enough to power over 10 million homes. And if you're reading this, you're likely interested in upgrading your home to get in on the action while the 30% solar tax credit remains.
