Berkshire Hathaway Energy Will Spend $91 Million for Valves Next Year
Berkshire Hathaway has acquired and merged a number of power and gas
transmission companies. It has also created BHE Renewables. The group now known
as Berkshire Hathaway Energy (BHE) will spend $91 million on average for valves
over the next five years. Because of its distributed generation and certain
other activities in the areas where it supplies electricity, it will indirectly
influence valve purchases of as much as $54 million annually from small
generators from whom it is buying electricity or with whom it is collaborating.
The connection involves EPCs and consultants each of whom are specifying or
buying valves for multiple utilities. So, the market potential is much larger
than just what BHE buys.

Berkshire Hathaway Energy Will Spend $62 Million for Pumps Next Year
Berkshire Hathaway has acquired and merged a number of power and gas
transmission companies. It has also created BHE Renewables. The group now known
as Berkshire Hathaway Energy (BHE) will spend $62 million on average for pumps
over the next five years. Because of its distributed generation and certain
other activities in the areas where it supplies electricity, it will indirectly
influence pump purchases of as much as $42 million annually from small
generators from whom it is buying electricity or with whom it is collaborating.
The connection involves EPCs and consultants each of whom are specifying or
buying pumps for multiple utilities. So, the market potential is much larger
than just what BHE buys. Also, if the system results in successful early
adoption of new technologies, the impact on pump sales will be widespread.

Berkshire Hathaway Energy Will Spend $100 Million for Monitoring and Automation
Next Year
Berkshire Hathaway has acquired and merged a number of power and gas
transmission companies. It has also created BHE Renewables. The group now known
as Berkshire Hathaway Energy (BHE) will spend $100 million per year on average
for monitoring and automation over the next five years. Because of its
distributed generation and certain other activities in the areas where it
supplies electricity, it will indirectly influence monitoring purchases of as
much as $41 million annually from small generators from whom it is buying
electricity or with whom it is collaborating. A large automation program
associated with NOx reduction is under consideration for four coal-fired units.
In general, BHE is emphasizing improved efficiency while lowering emissions and
expects to use smart sensors and neural networks.
The connection involves EPCs and consultants each of whom are specifying or
buying monitors and controls for multiple utilities. So, the market potential is
much larger than just what BHE buys. Also, if the system results in successful
early adoption of new technologies the impact on sales will be widespread.

Berkshire Hathaway Energy Will Spend $146 Million for Liquid/Solid Separation
and Water Treatment Control Next Year
Berkshire Hathaway has acquired and merged a number of power and gas
transmission companies. It has also created BHE Renewables. The group now known
as Berkshire Hathaway Energy (BHE) will spend $146 million per year on average
for liquid/solid separation and water treatment equipment and chemicals over the
next five years. Because of its distributed generation and certain other
activities in the areas where it supplies electricity, it will indirectly
influence separation and treatment purchases of as much as $33 million annually
from small generators from whom it is buying electricity or with whom it is
collaborating. The connection involves EPCs and consultants each of whom are
specifying or buying treatment equipment for multiple utilities. So, the market
potential is much larger than just what BHE buys. Also, if the system results in
