Consistent with our recent report entitled Brave new world, we prefer commodity-exposed names (DONG Energy, Centrica (CNA) and Drax (DRX)) as they have EPS growth and positive earnings momentum. Overall, we view regulated stocks as less expensive now than in mid-2016, and we see total potential return upside of c16% on United Utilities (UU). ■ Three themes: (1) We expect domestic electricity prices to rise c8- 10% in March: We think the risk is more manageable and the likelihood of adverse intervention is low, not least as discounts on fixed tariffs have halved, to c£69-113 p.a.; (2) Improved power market conditions benefit Centrica and Drax: We see increased volatility in the spot power market, which should benefit generators. We run our new 42p/therm gas price through our model (from 54p) but coal is on the margin, so our power price estimate only falls to c£44/MWh (from c£46/MWh); and (3) Low returns on new projects: Increased cash flows will be difficult to deploy in capex, given competitive tendering has bid down post-tax returns on equity to c6- 9% (i.e. cost of equity). The risk would stem from more share buybacks (a contrarian signal) or M&A (risk of overpaying). Ending scrip dividends would demonstrate better discipline, in our view. ■ Stock calls: We reduce our TP on CNA (TP 255p from 270p, Outperform) on our lower gas price, but see EPS growth in 2017E and 2018E. We upgrade UU to Outperform from Neutral (TP 1,000p from 990p) and SVT to Neutral from Underperform (TP 2190p from 2100p). We reduce our TP on NG (TP 850p from 860p, U/P). PNN (TP 750p, U/P) is our least preferred stock due to risks on energy from waste. We include DONG (TP DKK310, O/P) as, albeit listed in Denmark, c70% of its enterprise value is in the UK and it is the largest investor in UK wind.

We upgrade UU to Outperform (from Neutral) and Severn Trent to Neutral (from Underperform) on valuation. We show in Figure 8 the changes to our estimates. Note that we include DONG for the first time in a UK Utilities sector review. Although the stock is listed in Danish krone on the Danish exchange, we think it is worth including because c70% of its enterprise value is in the UK and it is a major investor involved in many of the themes.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY Introduction • This booklet gives advice on what to do in the event of an emergency at the Sellafield Site. • Sellafield is Europe’s largest single nuclear site and stores and handles industrial size quantities of radioactive material. Although unlikely, an emergency could occur involving material being stored and processed on the Site. In addition, Sellafield also holds a large inventory of other hazardous substances and again although unlikely an emergency could occur involving the chemicals being utilised on the Site. • It must be stressed that the possibility of such emergencies occurring is remote and that the design and operation of all plants on the site are independently monitored by the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR), Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and Environment Agency (EA). • Current assessments of the radiological hazards indicate that areas between 6.1km & 8km from the centre of the Sellafield Site could be the most likely areas to be directly affected during and following a radiation emergency, this area is referred to as the Detailed Emergency Planning Zone (DEPZ). To see its geographical extent please see map A (pg13) & C (pg20). • In addition, other assessments of the chemical hazards indicate that an area up to 2km from the centre of the Sellafield Site could be the most likely area to be directly affected during and following a chemical emergency, this area is referred to as the Inner Emergency Planning Zone (IEPZ).
