Company Description

Energy Transfer Equity transfers some of its equity in order to get more out of its midstream energy assets. The company gets most of its revenues by acting as the general partner of Energy Transfer Partners, which sells about 570 million gallons of propane a year to more than 1 million customers from 440 service centers in 40 states. In 2012 the company bought diversified gas player Southern Union for $9.4 billion (including $3.7 billion in debt). The deal, which made Energy Transfer Equity one of the largest natural gas infrastructure companies in the US, was upped from $7.9 billion to thwart a counter offer by The Williams Companies.

      Competitive Landscape Brief

      Residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural heating needs drive demand. The profitability of individual companies depends on efficient operations, low-cost purchasing, and competitive pricing. Large companies have advantages in purchasing, finance, and distribution. Small companies can compete effectively by serving a local market, offering unique products, or providing special services. The industry is capital-intensive: annual revenue per employee is about $500,000. Fuel dealers compete with suppliers of other energy sources, including electricity and natural gas. The increased availability of natural gas has resulted in stagnant and declining markets for LP gas and fuel oil as home heating sources.
