A Report On Saudi Electricity Company

This case focuses on David Sokol, an executive who has made a “name” for himself in recent years within the energy industries. After becoming recognized as a successful “turnaround” agent for troubled companies, Sokol was hired in 1992 to serve as the chief operating officer of JWP, Inc., a large, New York-based conglomerate. At the time, JWP had an impressive history of sustained profits and revenue growth that was being threatened by the company’s far-flung operations and unwieldy organizational structure. Unknown to Sokol, JWP’s impressive operating results over the prior few years had been embellished by the company’s

Husky Energy Inc. is a recognizable company to many Canadians. Most people just know it as “The Husky” and see it as just merely an oil company operated through North America. Although Husky Energy Inc. is centred in Alberta and Saskatchewan, it is a worldwide enterprise. “China, Greenland, and Libya” all have Husky Energy within their countries (Husky Energy Inc.). Now privately owned, the business value is at “28 billion as of October 2009” (Warnock, 1) and continues to growing exponentially. They are continuing expansion, becoming much more than a gas and oil supplier. They understand the changes are essential in being a successful corporation.

In the year 2012, post my graduation, I found myself working for a project in a high profit multinational organization. The project was designed to enable consumers use energy in a more reliable and sustainable manner. It focussed on metering gas and electricity as its key

This week was a strange week for me. It was the first week that I actually have decent time to show for. I have more time than usual this week, but I do not feel like I accomplished as much this week as I have other weeks with less time to show for. Maybe that is why it feels like a strange week for me because I have close to 20 hours this week, but I do not feel like much has gotten done except for more background information on both cases. Which I guess is information I need, however I want to start getting to the meat of the problems in both of my assigned cases.

The global power generation industry went into dip in 2009, but recovery has been swift and is set to continue towards 2017. According to MarketLine, the global power generation industry is expected to have a value of approximately $1,747.3 million in 2014, an increase of 7.5% over 2013. MarketLine anticipates that the industry growth will accelerate further and reach a value of approximately $2,103.8 million by the end of 2017, an increase of 20.4% over 2014.

Dabhol Power Project is a massive combined-cycle power plant on the western coast of India 's Maharashtra state in which Enron had majority shares. The Dabhol power plant was initiated in 1992 and took nine years to commence operation. The project was planned to construct 2,184 megawatts, which Enron believed it was the largest gas-fired power plant in the world. Politics, institutions and finance led to a dispute between the Maharashtra state government and the plant owners, and the project was closed in June, 2001. In this case we will evaluate the role that these factors played in the Dabhol Power Project.

The enemy at the gate is not Russia, it's the Wahhabi's of Saudi Arabia. Those of us who comprehend the intrecit relations among foreign States, are well aware that Prime Minister Cameron is beating the drum of fear when he mentions the Russian Federation. God forbid, the Russian's exert themselves in Ukraine, and some of the other former Soviet Republics. Never mind the fact that the British and Americans continually interfere in the foreign affairs of sovereign nations, and overthrow democratically elected governments who refuse to serve as puppets to the globalists. Countless examples of this exist, including the overthrow of PM Mossadegh of Iran in 1953, as a direct result of the Iranians nationalizing the oil companies.

Simplistically, a majority the generation of electricity on the grid comes from the combustion of fossil fuels to heat boilers that moves steam through a turbine. The spinning action of the turbine attached to a motor creates electricity which is sold on the power market. Other sources of energy can be used to heat the boiler, including nuclear fission, methane, and wood products. In addition, hydroelectricity and wind power can also be used to generate energy through mechanical action on the turbine/motor as well. Finally, but not exhaustively, power can be generated from the use of photovoltaic cells which convert the energy of the sun into electricity. Regardless of how it is generated, electricity has a very short life; it must be consumed or stored almost immediately after generation. Until the development of transformers, most electricity was generated on the site where it was intended to be consumed, due the inability to store it.
