RBC Capital Markets Energy Infrastructure
CEO Conference looks at the opportunities and risks of a dramatically
changing industry
TORONTO, March 6, 2006 — On
March 8, CEOs of the major energy infrastructure companies
in North America will discuss how their companies will capitalize
on changes, risks and opportunities in the energy industry.
Conference highlights include "in conversation"
interviews with CEOs of the ATCO Group, Duke Energy Corporation,
Enbridge Inc., TransCanada Corp. and Williams Companies, Inc.;
a panel discussion of investment opportunities, risks and
industry outlook for the North American power industry; and
a keynote address by the Chairman and CEO of Kinder Morgan,
Inc.
"One of the largest influences on the energy infrastructure
in North America is the development of the Canadian oil sands,"
notes Maureen Howe, an RBC Capital Markets research analyst
in energy infrastructure. "With predictions as high as
a tripling of production from the oil sands within a decade,
and with clear demand from markets in Canada, the U.S. and
Asia, pipeline projects will be a hot topic for governments,
pipeline companies and consumers."
This one-day conference follows the recently published RBC
Capital Research Report Movers and Shakers; Capitalizing
on the Winds of Change. This comprehensive look at the
North American energy infrastructure industry discusses current
high share valuations in Canada, the future direction of generation,
new sources of natural gas for North America and the development
of the Canadian oil sands - all major industry trends that
are driving opportunities in the sector.
RBC Capital Markets' Energy Infrastructure "Movers &
Shakers" Conference will be webcast live beginning Wednesday,
March 8, 2006, at 8:45 AM ET. The webcast will be audio-only
and will be available for 30 days after the conference.
