Hi, habe mir Arise angeschaut und positive und negative Emotionen gleichzeitig gespürt. Trotz der Finanzkriese halte ich die Aktie für interessant.

. On Monday, the Canadian province of Ontario became the latest jurisdiction to join the fray as lawmakers introduced the
Green Energy and Green Economy Act
. Why should investors care? Because such legislation has been at the core of some of the most impressive regional growth stories in alternative energy.
As a bit of a backgrounder on Ontario, there is currently about 800 MW of installed renewable power capacity (~95% wind) in the province with around 2,500 MW under power purchase agreement [PPA] and scheduled to be brought into commercial operations in the next few years. In late 2006, the province introduced a renewable power feed-in tariff incentive, the first one in North America. This incentive was suspended in May 2008 due to transmission constraints. By then, there were about 500 MW of solar capacity under PPA linked to the incentive, including one of the world's largest solar PV farms.
To put these numbers into perspective, California, the largest solar PV market in the U.S. by quite a stretch, had around 500 MW of PV installed by the end of '07. Next came New Jersey at 69 MW and New York at 32 MW. None of the 500 MW under PPA in Ontario has yet reached commercial operation, and at least some of it will probably be canceled given current credit conditions. Nevertheless, these figures provide a good idea of the market's potential. The Canadian Solar Industries Association estimates that Ontario could install up to 16,000 MW of solar PV by 2025, with the potential on Toronto's rooftops alone estimated at 3,600 MW.
The Green Energy and Green Economy Act
The Act targets three main areas: (1) renewable power generation; (2) energy efficiency; and (3) the smart grid.
1) Renewable Power Generation
Perhaps the most significant measures here are aimed at removing what had proven to be critical barriers to renewable energy projects reaching commercial operation in the province:
On the revenue side, the legislation does the following:
Analysis
The measures aimed at removing barriers to renewable projects are significant. However, until the new rules around the feed-in tariff are released (e.g. pricing, eligible fuels, etc), the exact impact of the law will remain unclear. My own guess is that the government will be very aggressive with ramping up renewable energy installed capacity over the next five years as, as its name indicates, this law is also about the economy. If you believe the government, this bill is as much about creating a counter-cyclical effect as it is about cleaning up the environment. If my thesis is correct and this turns out to be a boon for developers, the following stocks should be watched:

| Brookfield Asset Management | BAM | Infrastructure development firm with exposure to Ontario renewables | Medium |
| FPL | FPL | FPL Energy unit is one of the world's largest wind park owners and has exposure to Ontario wind | Low |
2) Energy Efficiency
The Act introduced a number of energy efficiency measures with a focus on building efficiency:
Analysis
Energy efficiency measures are clearly targeted at the building stock. There aren't really any good direct plays on this, and won't be until the government releases further information on what it intends to do with its own buildings. Building efficiency firms such as Johnson Controls (JCI) could benefit, although it's unclear whether this would be needle-moving.
3) The Smart Grid
Ontario has been somewhat of a leader in smart grid, with legislation passed back in 2005 requiring every home and business in the province to be equipped with a smart meter by 2010. Hydro One, the largest transmitter, has also begun smartening its network by embedding communication equipment from RuggedCom (RUGGF.PK). The Act contains provisions to expand smart grid capex. The Ontario Smart Grid Forum estimates that C$1.6 billion could be spent on a smart grid ramp up in Ontario over the initial five years of such a program. As I mentioned in a past article, while the absolute amount isn't huge, it is still a fair chunk of change for this emerging industry.
The smart grid measures are:
Analysis
Once all the rules are released, the legislation will have the effect of formalizing a patchwork of initiatives already underway. In my view, significant smart grid capex can be expected in Ontario over the next few years with a focus on the transmission and distribution infrastructure (rather than end consumers). There are several companies large and small entering the world of smart grid. My personal favorite play on this legislation is RuggedCom (RUGGF.PK): (1) it has already won contracts here; (2) it is part of the home team (based in Ontario); (3) it already generates EBITDA; and (4) even though its stock has withstood the latest storm in equity markets, it's still trading at a reasonable trailing PE compared to peers.
Conclusion
Many people in the investment world loathe government intervention into anything. However, alt energy has been and continues to be primarily driven by regulation and government policies. In the absence of government support schemes, industry growth rates would be a fraction of what they currently are, and solar PV would not be on the steep cost decline curve it's currently on. It is therefore critical to keep an eye on the policy side to know where growth opportunities will emerge next.
With this new Ontario legislation, my favorite play is the Canadian clean power IPP sector (stocks listed above). The smart grid initiatives will also be worth watching, although more clarity on the rules is required before potential winners can be identified.
The team of analysts at Fraser Mackenzie Ltd. offered up their best picks of 2009 in a report Monday, selecting twelve companies from the firm's coverage that are targeted on average to net clients a whopping return close to 150%.
Among the highlighted names were Petrobank Energy and Resources Ltd. (PBEGF.PK) and Questerre Energy Corp. (QTEYF.PK).
Petrobank has a price target of C$40, representing upside of almost 100% from 2008's closing price on the stock of C$20.31. Fraser Mackenzie likes Petrobank for "its innovative THAI heavy oil extraction technology that could materially boost the recoverable resource from the oil sands.
Questerre, meanwhile, has not been assigned a price target as of yet, given the early stage of the shale gas development in the St. Lawrence Lowlands in Quebec, of which the company is one of the "pioneers." Analyst Vic Vallance does, however, assign an unrisked upside from the company's land exposure of C$41.42 per fully diluted share.
The analysts also made special note of Bio-Extraction Inc. (BXI.V) which has a price target of C$1.30 and 5N Plus Inc. (FPLSF.PK) with a price target of C$5.90.
Analysts wrote in a co-authored note:
Bio-Extraction is just weeks away from commissioning its oil seed processing facility using a novel protein extraction technology that will significantly increase the food value of canola and other oil seeds. Meanwhile, 5N Plus is forging ahead supplying cadmium telluride to First Solar (FSLR), one of the world's largest low-cost providers of solar modules.
The largest upside is expected to come from Arise Technologies Corp. (APVNF.PK), whose target price of C$3.45, represents a 550% increase on its C$0.53 closing price of 2008.
Also on the 2009 list are:
Aeroquest International Ltd. (AQSFF.PK), Alamos Gold Inc. (AGIGF.PK), Axia NetMedia Inc. (AXX), Canplats Resources Corp. (CPQRF.PK), Eveready Income Fund (EVRDF.PK), MacDonald, Dettwiler & Associates Inc. (MDDWF.PK), Niko Resources Ltd. (NKRSF.PK).
