Company at a Glance

Tortoise Power and Energy Infrastructure Fund, Inc. (NYSE: TPZ) invests in a portfolio of fixed income and equity securities issued by power and energy infrastructure companies. The Fund’s goal is to provide stockholders a high level of current income, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to invest in a portfolio of companies that provide stable and defensive characteristics throughout economic cycles.

Infrastructure Asset Class

Increasingly, institutions have allocated a portion of their investment portfolio to infrastructure due to its desirable investment characteristics, which include:

For Investors Seeking

Power and Energy Infrastructure Operations

At the heart of the infrastructure asset class is power and energy infrastructure:

Power Infrastructure — The ownership and operation of asset systems that provide electric power generation (including renewable energy), transmission and distribution.

Energy Infrastructure — The ownership and operation of a network of pipeline assets to transport, store, gather, and/or process crude oil, refined petroleum products, natural gas or natural gas liquids (including renewable energy).


Distribution Policy — Tortoise Power and Energy Infrastructure Fund, Inc. (‘‘TPZ”), with approval of its Board of Directors (the “Board”), has adopted a distribution policy (the “Policy”) with the purpose of distributing over the course of each year, through periodic distributions as nearly equal as practicable and any required special distributions, an amount closely approximating the total taxable income of TPZ during such year and, if so determined by the Board, all or a portion of the return of capital paid by portfolio companies to TPZ during such year. In accordance with its Policy, TPZ distributes a fixed amount per common share, currently $0.125, each month to its common shareholders. This amount is subject to change from time to time in the discretion of the Board. Although the level of distributions is independent of TPZ’s performance, TPZ expects such distributions to correlate with its performance over time. Each monthly distribution to shareholders is expected to be at the fixed amount established by the Board, except for extraordinary distributions and potential increases or decreases in the final dividend periods for each year in light of TPZ’s performance for the entire calendar year and to enable TPZ to comply with the distribution requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Policy without prior notice to shareholders if it deems such action to be in the best interests of TPZ and its shareholders. For example, the Board might take such action if the Policy had the effect of shrinking TPZ’s assets to a level that was determined to be detrimental to TPZ shareholders. The suspension or termination of the Policy could have the effect of creating a trading discount (if TPZ’s stock is trading at or above net asset value), widening an existing trading discount, or decreasing an existing premium.

You should not draw any conclusions about TPZ’s investment performance from the amount of the distribution or from the terms of TPZ’s distribution policy. TPZ estimates that it has distributed more than its income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in TPZ is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect TPZ’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.” The amounts and sources of distributions reported are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon TPZ’s investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. TPZ will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.









June 18, 2013

Dear Fellow Stockholders,

The economy showed tangible signs of progress during our first fiscal half ending May 31st, including improvement in housing, employment and corporate earnings, with equities enjoying a bullish run. These same factors support the underlying fundamentals of fixed income issuers. However, late in the quarter, concerns that the Federal Reserve may dial back its quantitative easing effort, possibly as soon as this fall, led to a 0.5 percent rise in the 10-year Treasury rate, which weighed on fixed income securities broadly. Despite some macro market headwinds, power and energy infrastructure companies remained anchored by resilient underlying fundamentals.

Power and Energy Infrastructure Sector Review and Outlook

The TPZ Benchmark Composite* posted a total return of 0.8 percent and 3.7 percent for the three and six months ending May 31, 2013, respectively. The benchmark composite is comprised of a blend of 70 percent fixed income and 30 percent equity securities issued by companies in the power and energy infrastructure sectors. The composite’s equity component was the driving force behind its positive performance for the quarter, while the fixed income portion was affected by the May rise in interest rates.

Increased production growth in oil and natural gas from the nation’s unconventional resources has continued to bode well for both the midstream and downstream portions of the energy value chain, in both of which TPZ invests. The pace of growth projects remains strong with more than $100 billion in pipeline and related growth projects expected over the next three years through 2015 alone. On the downstream side, electric generation has benefitted from low fuel costs and rate base growth from environmental and smart-grid initiatives.

Capital markets have continued to be active across the energy value chain, with power and energy infrastructure companies raising more than $17 billion in equity and nearly $34 billion in debt fiscal year-to-date through May 31st.

Fund Performance Review

Our total assets increased from $224.1 million on Nov. 30, 2012, to $228.9 million on May 31, 2013, resulting primarily from market appreciation of our investments. Our market-based total return to stockholders was 2.6 percent and 8.5 percent (both including the reinvestment of distributions) for the three and six months ending May 31, 2013, respectively. Our NAV-based total return was 2.9 percent and 8.0 percent for the same time periods. The difference between our market value returns as compared to our NAV total returns reflected the narrowing in the market’s discount of our stock price relative to our NAV during the period.

Our asset performance during the fiscal first half of 2013 was bolstered by positive returns on our equity investments, including holdings in petroleum and natural gas pipelines as well as gathering and processing. These assets continue to benefit from increased volumes being driven by growing production in the nation’s shale basins, which is in turn leading to visible distribution growth. Our fixed income securities did provide overall positive returns for the first half of the fiscal year, though not to the extent that our equities did, as they were negatively influenced by rising interest rates late in the second fiscal quarter. Our fixed income securities are predominantly in the power and natural gas pipeline sectors.

We paid monthly distributions of $0.125 per common share ($1.50 annualized) throughout the fiscal half of 2013. These distributions represented an annualized yield of 5.6 percent based on our fiscal quarter closing price of $26.65. For tax purposes, we currently expect 80 to 100 percent of TPZ’s distributions to be characterized as dividend income and capital gain. A final determination of the characterization will be made in January 2014. Please refer to the inside front cover of this report for important information about TPZ’s distribution policy.

2013 2nd Quarter Report       1





We ended the period with leverage (bank debt) at 13.8 percent of total assets, below our long-term target of 20 percent. This provides us flexibility in managing the portfolio across market cycles and allows us to add leverage when compelling opportunities arise. As of May 31, 2013, our leverage, which included the impact of interest rate swaps, had a weighted average maturity of 4.3 years and a weighted average cost of 2.25 percent, with approximately 83 percent at fixed rates. We believe TPZ’s balance sheet is strong, with rates fixed on the majority of our leverage, laddered due dates and extended average maturities.

Additional information about our financial performance is available in the Key Financial Data and Management’s Discussion sections of this report.

Concluding Thoughts

We continue to be excited about the significant transformation underway in North American energy, with power and energy infrastructure companies playing a key role in the significant build-out underway. We also think it is important to note that while a rising tide may lift all boats, market cycles will separate quality companies from those with weaker business models. We believe this will play out over time, and we look forward to serving you as your professional investment adviser in navigating the course ahead.

As a final note, if you have not yet had a chance to listen to our May webcast, we invite and encourage you to do so at www.tortoiseadvisors.com.

Management’s Discussion (Unaudited)
 

The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with our Financial Statements and the Notes thereto. In addition, this report contains certain forward-looking statements. These statements include the plans and objectives of management for future operations and financial objectives and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” or “continue” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements are subject to the inherent uncertainties in predicting future results and conditions. Certain factors that could cause actual results and conditions to differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements are set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of our public filings with the SEC.

Overview

Tortoise Power and Energy Infrastructure Fund, Inc.’s (“TPZ”) primary investment objective is to provide a high level of current income, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. We seek to provide our stockholders a vehicle to invest in a portfolio consisting primarily of securities issued by power and energy infrastructure companies. Power infrastructure operations use asset systems to provide electric power generation (including renewable energy), transmission and distribution. Energy infrastructure operations use a network of pipeline assets to transport, store, gather and/ or process crude oil, refined petroleum products (including biodiesel and ethanol), natural gas or natural gas liquids. We believe the power and energy infrastructure sectors provide stable and defensive characteristics throughout economic cycles. A majority of the investments are in fixed income securities with the remainder invested in equities which provide growth potential.

TPZ is a registered non-diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and expects to qualify each year as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Tortoise Capital Advisors, L.L.C. (the “Adviser”) serves as investment adviser.

Company Update

Market values of our MLP investments increased during the 2nd quarter while the value of our debt investments declined slightly due to rising interest rates. These changes, combined with the exercise of call options within our bond portfolio where proceeds were used to reduce leverage prior to being reinvested, led to an overall decrease of $1.7 million in total assets during the quarter. Total income received from our investments was relatively unchanged and leverage costs declined as expected following the refinancing activity in 1st quarter 2013. We maintained our monthly distribution of $0.125 per share. Additional information on the results of our operations is discussed in more detail below.

Critical Accounting Policies

The financial statements are based on the selection and application of critical accounting policies, which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. Critical accounting policies are those that are both important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, complex, or subjective judgments. Our critical accounting policies are those applicable to the valuation of investments and certain revenue recognition matters as discussed in Note 2 in the Notes to Financial Statements.

Determining Distributions to Stockholders

We pay monthly distributions based primarily upon our current and estimated future distributable cash flow (“DCF”). In addition, and to the extent that the sum of our net investment company taxable income and net realized gains from investments exceed our monthly distributions, we intend to make an additional distribution to common stockholders in the last quarter of the calendar year in order to avoid being subject to U.S. federal income taxes. Our Board of Directors reviews the distribution rate quarterly and may adjust the monthly distributions throughout the year. Our distribution policy is described on the inside front cover of this report.

Determining DCF

DCF is income from investments less expenses. Income from investments includes the accrued interest from corporate bonds, cash distributions and paid-in-kind distributions from MLPs and related companies and dividends earned from short-term investments. The total expenses include current or anticipated operating expenses and leverage costs.

The Key Financial Data table discloses the calculation of DCF and should be read in conjunction with this discussion. The difference between income from investments in the DCF calculation and total investment income as reported in the Statement of Operations, is reconciled as follows: (1) GAAP recognizes distribution income from MLPs and common stock on their ex-dates, whereas the DCF calculation may reflect distribution income on their pay dates; (2) GAAP recognizes that a significant portion of the cash distributions received from MLPs are characterized as a return of capital and therefore excluded from investment income, whereas the DCF calculation includes the return of capital; (3) income from investments in the DCF calculation includes the value of dividends paid-in-kind (additional stock or units), whereas such amounts are not included as income for GAAP purposes; and (4) amortization of premium or discount for all securities is calculated using the yield to worst methodology for GAAP purposes while yield to call is used in calculating amortization for long-dated hybrid securities in the DCF calculation. The treatment of expenses in the DCF calculation also differs from what is reported in the Statement of Operations. In addition to the total operating expenses, including expense reimbursement, as disclosed in the Statement of Operations, the DCF calculation reflects interest expense and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on interest rate swap settlements as leverage costs. A reconciliation of Net Investment Income to DCF is included below.

Management’s Discussion (Unaudited)
(Continued)

Income from Investments

We seek to achieve our investment objectives by investing in income-producing fixed income and equity securities of companies that we believe offer attractive distribution rates. We evaluate each holding based upon its contribution to our investment income and its risk relative to other potential investments.

Total income from investments for the 2nd quarter 2013 was approximately $3.5 million, a very slight decrease as compared to 1st quarter 2013 and an increase of 3.2 percent as compared to 2nd quarter 2012. These changes reflect increases in per share distribution rates on our MLP investments, the impact of trading activity wherein certain investments with higher current yields and lower expected future growth were sold and replaced with investments that had lower current yields and higher expected future growth, as well as fixed income investments that have been refinanced in a lower interest rate environment.

Expenses

We incur two types of expenses: (1) operating expenses, consisting primarily of the advisory fee, and (2) leverage costs. On a percentage basis, operating expenses before leverage costs were an annualized 1.05 percent of average total assets for 2nd quarter 2013 as compared to 1.07 percent for the 1st quarter 2013 and 2nd quarter 2012. Advisory fees for 2nd quarter 2013 increased by approximately 5.9 percent as compared to 1st quarter 2013 due to increased average monthly managed assets during the quarter. While the contractual advisory fee is 0.95 percent of average monthly managed assets, the Adviser waived an amount equal to 0.10 percent of average monthly managed assets for calendar year 2012, and has agreed to waive 0.10 percent of average monthly managed assets for calendar year 2013. Other operating expenses decreased approximately $8,000 from 1st quarter 2013, primarily due to decreased directors’ fees.

Leverage costs consist of two major components: (1) the direct interest expense, which will vary from period to period as our margin borrowing facility has a variable interest rate, and (2) the realized and unrealized gain or loss on our interest rate swap settlements. Detailed information on our margin borrowing facility is included in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below.

As indicated in Note 9 of our Notes to Financial Statements, at May 31, 2013, we had $26 million notional amount of interest rate swap contracts with Wells Fargo Bank in an attempt to reduce a portion of the interest rate risk arising from our leveraged capital structure. TPZ has agreed to pay Wells Fargo Bank a fixed rate while receiving a floating rate based upon the 3-month U.S. Dollar London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The spread between the fixed swap rate and LIBOR is reflected in our Statement of Operations as a realized or unrealized gain when LIBOR exceeds the fixed rate (Wells Fargo Bank pays TPZ the net difference) or a realized or unrealized loss when the fixed rate exceeds LIBOR (TPZ pays Wells Fargo Bank the net difference). The interest rate swap contracts have a weighted average fixed rate of 1.68 percent and weighted average remaining maturity of approximately 5.1 years. This swap arrangement effectively fixes the cost of approximately 83 percent of our outstanding leverage over the remaining swap period.

Total leverage costs for DCF purposes were approximately $189,000 for the 2nd quarter 2013, a decrease of $38,000 as compared to 1st quarter 2013. The decrease in leverage costs reflects the full impact of the leverage refinance and interest rate swap activity that was completed in 1st quarter 2013.

Interest accrues on the margin facility at a rate equal to 3-month LIBOR plus 0.75 percent and unused balances are subject to a fee of 0.25 percent. The annual rate of leverage may vary in future periods as a result of changes in LIBOR, the utilization of our margin facility, and maturity of our interest rate swap contracts. Additional information on our leverage is disclosed below in Liquidity and Capital Resources and in our Notes to Financial Statements.

Distributable Cash Flow and Capital Gains

For 2nd quarter 2013, our DCF was approximately $2.7 million, a 7.7 percent increase as compared to 2nd quarter 2012 and a 0.5 percent increase as compared to 1st quarter 2013. This increase is the net result of the change in distributions and expenses as outlined above. In addition, we had net realized gains of approximately $0.9 million from the sale of portfolio investments in the 2nd quarter 2013. On February 11, 2013, we declared monthly distributions for the 2013 2nd fiscal quarter of $0.125 per share. This is unchanged as compared to 1st quarter 2013.

Net Investment Income on the Statement of Operations is adjusted as follows to reconcile to DCF for 2013 YTD and 2nd quarter 2013 (in thousands):

2013        2nd Qtr
YTD 2013
Net Investment Income $ 2,532 $ 1,278
Adjustments to reconcile to DCF:
       Dividends paid in stock 1,158 580
       Distributions characterized as return of capital 1,710 885
       Amortization of debt issuance costs 73
       Interest rate swap expenses (181 ) (92 )
       Change in amortization methodology 119 61
              DCF $ 5,411 $ 2,712

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had total assets of $228.9 million at quarter-end. Our total assets reflect the value of our investments, which are itemized in the Schedule of Investments. It also reflects cash, interest and receivables and any expenses that may have been prepaid. During the 2nd quarter 2013, total assets decreased by $1.7 million. This change was primarily the result of a $2.9 million increase in the value of our investments as reflected by the change in net realized and unrealized gains on investments (excluding return of capital on distributions), net sales (including bond call activity) of $4.1 million and a net decrease in receivables of approximately $0.4 million.

Total leverage outstanding at May 31, 2013 was $31.5 million, a decrease of $5.2 million as compared to February 28, 2013 which was primarily the result of the trading activity as described above. Total leverage represented 13.8 percent of total assets at May 31, 2013, a decrease from 15.9 percent of total assets at February 28, 2013 and a decrease from 16.4 percent at May 31, 2012. Our leverage as a percent of total assets remains below our long-term target level of 20 percent of total assets. This allows the

Management’s Discussion (Unaudited)
(Continued)

opportunity to add leverage when compelling investment opportunities arise. Temporary increases to up to 25 percent of our total assets may be permitted, provided that such leverage is consistent with the limits set forth in the 1940 Act, and that such leverage is expected to be reduced over time in an orderly fashion to reach our long-term target. Our leverage ratio is impacted by increases or decreases in investment values, issuance of equity and/or the sale of securities where proceeds are used to reduce leverage.

We have used leverage to acquire investments consistent with our investment philosophy. The terms of our leverage are governed by regulatory and contractual asset coverage requirements that arise from the use of leverage. Additional information on our leverage and asset coverage requirements is discussed in Note 11 in the Notes to Financial Statements. Our coverage ratio is updated each week on our Web site at www.tortoiseadvisors.com.

Taxation of our Distributions

We expect that distributions paid on common shares will generally consist of: (i) investment company taxable income which includes ordinary income net of deductions plus any short-term capital gains in excess of net long-term capital losses; (ii) long-term capital gain (net gain from the sale of a capital asset held longer than 12 months over net short-term capital losses) and (iii) return of capital. The long-term capital gain tax rate is variable based on the taxpayer’s taxable income.

We have received exemptive relief from the SEC to distribute capital gains throughout the year and we may also distribute additional capital gains in the last calendar quarter if necessary to meet minimum distribution requirements and to avoid being subject to excise taxes. If, however, we elect to retain any capital gains, we will be subject to U.S. capital gains taxes. The payment of those taxes will flow-through to stockholders as a tax credit to apply against their U.S. income tax payable on the deemed distribution of the retained capital gain.

For tax purposes, distributions paid to common stockholders for the calendar year ended December 31, 2012 were approximately 59 percent ordinary income (none of which is qualified dividend income) and 41 percent long-term capital gain. This information is reported to stockholders on Form 1099-DIV and is available on our Web site at www.tortoiseadvisors.com. We currently estimate that 80 to 100 percent of 2013 distributions will be characterized as ordinary income and capital gains, with the remaining percentage, if any, characterized as return of capital. A final determination of the characterization will be made in January 2014.

The Company commenced operations on July 31, 2009. The Company’s stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “TPZ.”

2. Significant Accounting Policies

A. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, recognition of distribution income and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

B. Investment Valuation

The Company primarily owns securities that are listed on a securities exchange or over-the-counter market. The Company values those securities at their last sale price on that exchange or over-the-counter market on the valuation date. If the security is listed on more than one exchange, the Company uses the price from the exchange that it considers to be the principal exchange on which the security is traded. Securities listed on the NASDAQ will be valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price, which may not necessarily represent the last sale price. If there has been no sale on such exchange or over-the-counter market on such day, the security will be valued at the mean between the last bid price and last ask price on such day.

The Company may invest up to 15 percent of its total assets in restricted securities. Restricted securities are subject to statutory or contractual restrictions on their public resale, which may make it more difficult to obtain a valuation and may limit the Company’s ability to dispose of them. Investments in private placement securities and other securities for which market quotations are not readily available will be valued in good faith by using fair value procedures approved by the Board of Directors. Such fair value procedures consider factors such as discounts to publicly traded issues, time until conversion date, securities with similar yields, quality, type of issue, coupon, duration and rating. If events occur that affect the value of the Company’s portfolio securities before the net asset value has been calculated (a “significant event”), the portfolio securities so affected will generally be priced using fair value procedures.

An equity security of a publicly traded company acquired in a direct placement transaction may be subject to restrictions on resale that can affect the security’s liquidity and fair value. Such securities that are convertible or otherwise will become freely tradable will be valued based on the market value of the freely tradable security less an applicable discount. Generally, the discount will initially be equal to the discount at which the Company purchased the securities. To the extent that such securities are convertible or otherwise become freely tradable within a time frame that may be reasonably determined, an amortization schedule may be used to determine the discount.

The Company generally values debt securities at prices based on market quotations for such securities, except those securities purchased with 60 days or less to maturity are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value.

The Company generally values its interest rate swap contracts using industry-accepted models which discount the estimated future cash flows based on the stated terms of the interest rate swap agreement by using interest rates currently available in the market, or based on dealer quotations, if available.

C. Security Transactions and Investment Income

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses are reported on an identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis, including amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend and distribution income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received from the Company’s investments in master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) generally are comprised of ordinary income and return of capital from the MLPs. The Company allocates distributions between investment income and return of capital based on estimates made at the time such distributions are received. Such estimates are based on information provided by each MLP and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on actual allocations received from MLPs after their tax reporting periods are concluded, as the actual character of these distributions is not known until after the fiscal year end of the Company.

For the period from December 1, 2011 through November 30, 2012, the Company estimated the allocation of investment income and return of capital for the distributions received from MLPs within the Statement of Operations. For this period, the Company had estimated approximately 6 percent of total distributions as investment income and approximately 94 percent as return of capital.

Subsequent to November 30, 2012, the Company reallocated the amount of investment income and return of capital it recognized for the period from December 1, 2011 through November 30, 2012 based on the 2012 tax reporting information received from the individual MLPs. This reclassification amounted to a decrease in net investment income of approximately $40,000 or $0.006 per share, an increase in unrealized appreciation of investments of approximately $42,000 or $0.006 per share, and a decrease in realized gains of approximately $2,000 or $0.000 per share for the period from December 1, 2012 through May 31, 2013.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(Continued)

Subsequent to the period ended February 28, 2013, the Company reallocated the amount of investment income and return of capital it recognized in the current fiscal year based on its revised 2013 estimates, after considering the final allocations for 2012. This reclassification amounted to a decrease in net investment income of approximately $5,000 or $0.001 per share and an increase in unrealized appreciation of investments of approximately $5,000 or $0.001 per share.

D. Distributions to Stockholders

Distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Company intends to make monthly cash distributions of its investment company taxable income to common stockholders. In addition, on an annual basis, the Company may distribute additional capital gains in the last calendar quarter if necessary to meet minimum distribution requirements and thus avoid being subject to excise taxes. The amount of any distributions will be determined by the Board of Directors. The character of distributions to common stockholders made during the year may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Distributions paid to stockholders in excess of investment company taxable income and net realized gains will be treated as return of capital to stockholders. For the year ended November 30, 2012, the Company’s distributions for tax purposes were comprised of 59 percent ordinary income and 41 percent long-term capital gain. The tax character of distributions paid to common stockholders for the current year will be determined subsequent to November 30, 2013.

E. Federal Income Taxation

The Company qualifies as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As a result, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on income and gains that it distributes each taxable year to stockholders if it meets certain minimum distribution requirements. The Company is required to distribute substantially all of its income, in addition to other asset diversification requirements. The Company is subject to a 4 percent non-deductible U.S. federal excise tax on certain undistributed income unless the Company makes sufficient distributions to satisfy the excise tax avoidance requirement. The Company invests in MLPs, which generally are treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. As a limited partner in the MLPs, the Company reports its allocable share of the MLP’s taxable income in computing its own taxable income.

The Company recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities based on the technical merits of the tax position. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as part of tax expense. The Company has reviewed all open tax years and major jurisdictions and concluded that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. All tax years since inception remain open to examination by federal and state tax authorities.

F. Offering and Debt Issuance Costs

Offering costs related to the issuance of common stock are charged to additional paid-in capital when the stock is issued. Debt issuance costs related to long-term debt obligations are capitalized and amortized over the period the debt is outstanding.

G. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments (principally interest rate swap contracts) to manage interest rate risk. The Company has established policies and procedures for risk assessment and the approval, reporting and monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. All derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value during the reporting period, and amounts accrued under the agreements, included as unrealized gains or losses in the Statement of Operations. Cash settlements under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements and termination of such agreements are recorded as realized gains or losses in the Statement of Operations.

H. Indemnifications

Under the Company’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Company. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Company may enter into contracts that provide general indemnification to other parties. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not yet occurred, and may not occur. However, the Company has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

I. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2011-11 “Balance Sheet (Topic 210) Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. ASU 2011-11 requires new disclosures for recognized financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either offset on the balance sheet in accordance with the offsetting guidance in ASC 210-20-45 or ASC 815-10-45 or are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar arrangement. ASU 2011-11 is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and must be applied retrospectively. Management is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments on the financial statements.

In January 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-01 “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2013-01”) which amended Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 210-20, Balance Sheet Offsetting. ASU 2013-01 clarified the scope of ASU No. 2011-11 “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”). ASU 2013-01 clarifies the scope of ASU 2011-11 as applying to derivatives

accounted for in accordance with Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are offset either in accordance with other requirements of U.S. GAAP or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The guidance in ASU 2013-01 and ASU 2011-11 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Adoption of ASU 2011-11 will have no effect on the Company’s net assets. Management is currently evaluating any impact ASU 2013-01 and ASU 2011-11 may have on the Company’s financial statements.

3. Concentration of Risk

Under normal circumstances, the Company intends to invest at least 80 percent of total assets (including assets obtained through potential leverage) in securities of companies that derive more than 50 percent of their revenue from power or energy operations and no more than 25 percent of the total assets in equity securities of MLPs as of the date of purchase. The Company will invest a minimum of 60 percent of total assets in fixed income securities, which may include up to 25 percent of its assets in non-investment grade rated fixed income securities. In determining application of these policies, the term “total assets” includes assets obtained through leverage. Companies that primarily invest in a particular sector may experience greater volatility than companies investing in a broad range of industry sectors. The Company may, for defensive purposes, temporarily invest all or a significant portion of its assets in investment grade securities, short-term debt securities and cash or cash equivalents. To the extent the Company uses this strategy, it may not achieve its investment objective.

4. Agreements

The Company has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with Tortoise Capital Advisors, L.L.C. (the “Adviser”). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company pays the Adviser a fee equal to an annual rate of 0.95 percent of the Company’s average monthly total assets (including any assets attributable to leverage) minus accrued liabilities (other than debt entered into for purposes of leverage and the aggregate liquidation preference of outstanding preferred stock, if any) (“Managed Assets”), in exchange for the investment advisory services provided. The Adviser waived an amount equal to 0.10 percent of average monthly Managed Assets for the period from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012, and has contractually agreed to a fee waiver of 0.10 percent of average monthly Managed Assets for the period from January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013.

U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC serves as the Company’s administrator. The Company pays the administrator a monthly fee computed at an annual rate of 0.04 percent of the first $1,000,000,000 of the Company’s Managed Assets, 0.03 percent on the next $1,000,000,000 of Managed Assets and 0.02 percent on the balance of the Company’s Managed Assets.

Computershare Trust Company, N.A. serves as the Company’s transfer agent and registrar and Computershare Inc. serves as the Company’s dividend paying agent and agent for the automatic dividend reinvestment plan.

U.S. Bank, N.A. serves as the Company’s custodian. The Company pays the custodian a monthly fee computed at an annual rate of 0.004 percent of the average daily market value of the Company’s portfolio assets, subject to a minimum annual fee of $4,800, plus portfolio transaction fees.

5. Income Taxes

It is the Company’s intention to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute all of its taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.

The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be paid, if any, are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains or losses on investments. Permanent book and tax basis differences, if any, may result in reclassifications to undistributed net investment income (loss), undistributed net realized gain (loss) and additional paid-in capital.

As of November 30, 2012, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation $ 56,536,147  
Undistributed ordinary income 35,998
Other temporary differences (28,065 )
Accumulated earnings $ 56,544,080

As of May 31, 2013, the aggregate cost of securities for federal income tax purposes was $149,548,069. The aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all securities in which there was an excess of fair value over tax cost was $77,143,251, the aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all securities in which there was an excess of tax cost over fair value was $0 and the net unrealized appreciation was $77,143,251.

6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Company’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

      Level 1 —  quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
     
  Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, market corroborated inputs, etc.)
     
  Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The Company did not hold any Level 3 securities during the period from December 1, 2012 through May 31, 2013.

Valuation Techniques

In general, and where applicable, the Company uses readily available market quotations based upon the last updated sales price from the principal market to determine fair value. This pricing methodology applies to the Company’s Level 1 investments.

Some debt securities are fair valued using a market value obtained from an approved pricing service which utilizes a pricing matrix based upon yield data for securities with similar characteristics or from a direct written broker-dealer quotation from a dealer who has made a market in the security. This pricing methodology applies to the Company’s Level 2 assets.

Interest rate swap contracts are valued by using industry-accepted models which discount the estimated future cash flows based on a forward rate curve and the stated terms of the interest rate swap agreement by using interest rates currently available in the market, or based on dealer quotations, if available, which applies to the Company’s Level 2 liabilities.

The Company utilizes the beginning of reporting period method for determining transfers between levels. There were no transfers between levels for the period from December 1, 2012 through May 31, 2013.

7. Restricted Securities

Certain of the Company’s investments are restricted and are valued as determined in accordance with procedures established by the Board of Directors, as more fully described in Note 2.

9. Long-Term Debt Obligations

The Company had $20,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Series A private senior notes (the “Notes”) outstanding at November 30, 2012. Holders of the Notes were entitled to receive quarterly cash interest payments at an annual rate that reset each quarter based on the 3-month LIBOR plus 1.87 percent. The Company redeemed the Notes on December 18, 2012. The weighted-average interest rate on the Notes for the period from December 1, 2012 through December 18, 2012 was 2.18 percent. The unamortized balance of allocated capital costs was expensed upon redemption and resulted in a total loss on early redemption of $71,204 which is included in amortization of debt issuance costs in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

10. Interest Rate Swap Contracts

The Company has entered into interest rate swap contracts in an attempt to protect itself from increasing interest expense on its leverage resulting from increasing short-term interest rates. A decline in interest rates may result in a decline in the value of the swap contracts, which may result in a decline in the net assets of the Company. At the time the interest rate swap contracts reach their scheduled termination, there is a risk that the Company would not be able to obtain a replacement transaction, or that the terms of the replacement would not be as favorable as on the expiring transaction. In addition, if the Company is required to terminate any swap contract early due to the net assets of the Company falling below $60,000,000 or the Company failing to maintain a required 300 percent asset coverage of the liquidation value of the outstanding debt, then the Company could be required to make a termination payment to the extent of the Company’s net liability position, in addition to redeeming all or some of the senior notes. The Company segregates a portion of its assets as collateral for the amount of any net liability of its interest rate swap contracts. Details of the interest rate swap contracts outstanding as of May 31, 2013, are as follows:

Fixed Rate Floating Rate Unrealized
Maturity Notional Paid by the Received by Appreciation
Counterparty Date Amount Company the Company (Depreciation)
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.       01/05/2016       $ 2,500,000       1.09 %       3-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR       $ (37,420 )
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. 01/05/2017 2,500,000 1.34 % 3-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR (51,959 )
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. 08/07/2017 6,000,000 1.89 % 3-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR (237,289 )
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. 08/06/2018 6,000,000 1.95 % 3-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR (221,137 )
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. 11/29/2019 6,000,000 1.33 % 3-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR 108,366
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. 08/06/2020 3,000,000 2.18 % 3-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR (89,250 )
$ 26,000,000      $ (528,689 )     

The Company is exposed to credit risk on the interest rate swap contracts if the counterparty should fail to perform under the terms of the interest rate swap contracts. The amount of credit risk is limited to the net appreciation of the interest rate swap contracts, if any, as no collateral is pledged by the counterparty. In addition, if the counterparty to the interest rate swap contracts defaults, the Company would incur a loss in the amount of the receivable and would not receive amounts due from the counterparty to offset the interest payments on the Company’s leverage.

The unrealized appreciation of interest rate swap contracts in the amount of $629,536 for the period ended May 31, 2013 is included in the Statement of Operations. Cash settlement payments under the terms of the interest rate swap contracts in the amount of $179,252 are recorded as realized losses for the period ended May 31, 2013. The total notional amount of all open swap agreements at May 31, 2013 is indicative of the volume of this derivative type for the period ended May 31, 2013.

11. Credit Facility

As of May 31, 2013, the Company has a 270-day rolling evergreen margin loan facility with Bank of America, N.A. The Company entered into the margin loan agreement on December 6, 2012. The terms of the agreement provide for a $40,000,000 facility that is secured by certain of the Company’s assets. Outstanding balances generally will accrue interest at a variable rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 0.75 percent and unused portions of the facility will accrue a fee equal to an annual rate of 0.25 percent.

The average principal balance and interest rate for the period during which the margin loan facility was utilized during the period ended May 31, 2013 was approximately $35,900,000 and 1.04 percent, respectively. At May 31, 2013, the principal balance outstanding was $31,500,000 at an interest rate of 1.03 percent.

Under the terms of the margin loan facility, the Company must maintain asset coverage required under the 1940 Act. If the Company fails to maintain the required coverage, it may be required to repay a portion of an outstanding balance until the coverage requirement has been met. At May 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with the terms of the margin loan facility.

The Company utilized the margin loan facility to redeem the outstanding balance and terminate the unsecured credit facility with U.S. Bank, N.A. on December 18, 2012. Outstanding balances on the credit facility accrued interest at a variable annual rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 1.25 percent and unused portions of the credit facility accrued a non-usage fee equal to an annual rate of 0.20 percent. The average principal balance and interest rate for the period during which the credit facility was utilized during the period from December 1, 2012 through December 18, 2012 was approximately $16,000,000 and 1.46 percent, respectively.

12. Common Stock

The Company has 100,000,000 shares of capital stock authorized and 6,951,333 shares outstanding at May 31, 2013 and November 30, 2012.

13. Subsequent Events

On June 28, 2013, the Company paid a distribution in the amount of $0.125 per common share, for a total of $868,917. Of this total, the dividend reinvestment amounted to $47,810.

The Company has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that no additional items require recognition or disclosure.
