Item 1. Report to Stockholders.

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.

December 31, 2012

Dear Fellow Stockholders,

Our fiscal year ended Nov. 30, 2012 was a positive one for power and energy infrastructure companies, which continued to demonstrate solid growth and produced healthy cash flows. The recent performance of these assets in periods of volatility and uncertainty once again demonstrates how their desirable operating characteristics can translate into an attractive, diversifying, long-term investment.

Although the market struggled with significant challenges during 2012, including sluggish global economic growth, escalating geopolitical concerns and a contentious U.S. presidential election, there were many positives at work in the power and energy sector during the year. New technologies for extracting oil and natural gas have enabled more efficient production, greater drilling success and faster drilling times. These fundamental strengths, technological advances and optimism about the future of energy in America have not been overlooked by investors who have continued to recognize quality over longer periods, an approach that ultimately drove TPZ’s equity and fixed-income power and energy infrastructure holdings.

Power and energy infrastructure sector review and outlook

The TPZ Benchmark Index*, comprised of a blend of debt and equity securities issued by companies in the power and energy infrastructure sectors, posted a total return of 12.3 percent for our fiscal year ended Nov. 30, 2012. Both the fixed income and equity components were positive for the year as investors have sought higher-yielding securities in the continuing low interest-rate environment.

Despite macro uncertainties and the transitory headwinds facing the energy sector in 2012, increased energy production in the U.S. is an exciting and promising event, providing a potential boost for the economy along with other benefits for Americans, such as creating jobs, generating federal, state and local tax revenues and improving national security. In addition to recently passing over 6.5 million barrels a day in crude oil production, the U.S. is now the world’s leading producer of natural gas, and approximately 98 percent of the natural gas we use in the U.S. is domestically produced. Natural gas consumption also continued to displace coal as an energy source, particularly for power companies. This benefitted utilities in the form of lower fuel costs, which helped to offset softer demand due to mild weather.

Fund performance review and outlook

Our total assets increased from $215 million on Nov. 30, 2011 to $224 million on Nov. 30, 2012. This increase resulted primarily from net realized and unrealized gains on investments. For fiscal year 2012, our market-based total return was 10.8 percent and our NAV-based total return was 11.9 percent (both including the reinvestment of distributions). The difference between the market value total return as compared to the NAV total return reflects the change in the market’s premium or discount over the time period. Our performance was positively impacted by strong returns on our equity investments and secondarily from positive fixed-income markets.

We paid monthly distributions of $0.125 per common share ($1.50 annualized) throughout the fiscal year. These distributions represented an annualized yield of 5.9 percent based on our fiscal year closing price of $25.26. For tax purposes, TPZ’s 2012 distributions were characterized as 59 percent ordinary dividend income, with the remainder characterized as long-term capital gains. Please refer to the inside front cover of this report for important information about TPZ’s distribution policy.

We ended our fiscal year with leverage (including bank debt and senior notes), at 16.2 percent of total assets, which, including the impact of interest rate swaps, had a weighted average maturity of 4.4 years and a weighted average cost of leverage of 2.8 percent, with more than 71 percent at fixed rates. During the year, we took advantage of the low interest-rate environment and restructured a portion of our interest-rate swap contracts to lower borrowing costs and extend average maturities.

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

Conclusion

We believe we are in the early stages of a significant transformation of North American energy. As this exciting scenario continues to unfold, we look forward to serving you as your professional investment adviser in navigating the course ahead, with a strategy anchored in quality power and energy infrastructure companies.

Sincerely,

The Managing Directors

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

The combined market values of our debt and MLP investments increased during the 4th quarter, contributing to an overall increase of $3.4 million in total assets. The total income received from our investments increased during the quarter while asset based expenses also increased as average managed assets grew. Leverage increased slightly during the quarter along with our total leverage as a percent of total assets. 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.

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 4th quarter 2012 was approximately $3.5 million, a slight increase as compared to 3rd quarter 2012 and an increase of 1.6 percent as compared to 4th quarter 2011. 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 4th quarter 2012 as compared to 1.07 percent for the 3rd quarter 2012 and 1.00 percent for 4th quarter 2011. The change from 4th quarter 2011 reflects the change in advisory fee waiver as discussed below. Advisory fees for 4th quarter 2012 increased by 2.2 percent as compared to 3rd quarter 2012 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 0.15 percent of average monthly managed assets for calendar year 2011, 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 $7,000 from 3rd quarter 2012 primarily due to decreased directors’ fees and professional fees.

Leverage costs consist of two major components: (1) the direct interest expense, which will vary from period to period, as our senior notes and revolving credit facility have

Management’s Discussion (Unaudited) (Continued)

variable rates of interest, and (2) the realized and unrealized gain or loss on our interest rate swap settlements. Detailed information on our senior notes and revolving credit facility is included in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below.

As indicated in Note 10 of our Notes to Financial Statements, at November 30, 2012, 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 5.6 years. This swap arrangement effectively fixes the cost of approximately 71 percent of our outstanding leverage over the remaining swap period.

Total leverage costs for DCF purposes were approximately $268,000 for the 4th quarter 2012, a decrease of $41,000 as compared to 3rd quarter 2012. This decrease was primarily the result of restructuring the $26 million notional amount of interest rate swap contracts. The restructuring reduced the average fixed rate of the contracts to 1.68 percent from the previous rate of 2.18 percent while extending their average maturity approximately 3.8 years. Leverage costs include interest expense on our senior notes and bank credit facility as well as realized losses on interest rate swap contracts. The weighted average annual rate of our leverage was 2.84 percent at November 30, 2012.

Subsequent to year-end, we took further steps to attempt to reduce the cost of our leverage. On December 6, 2012, we entered into a 270-day rolling evergreen margin loan facility with a borrowing capacity of $40,000,000. On December 18, 2012, we used a portion of the borrowing capacity under the facility to redeem our Series A Notes in the amount of $20,000,000 and to pay off the outstanding borrowings under our previous credit facility. Outstanding balances on the new margin loan facility 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.

Distributable Cash Flow and Capital Gains

For 4th quarter 2012, our DCF was approximately $2.7 million, a 0.4 percent increase as compared to 4th quarter 2011 and a 2.0 percent increase as compared to 3rd quarter 2012. 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 $1.5 million from the sale of portfolio investments in the 4th quarter 2012. On August 6, 2012, we declared monthly distributions for the 2012 4th fiscal quarter of $0.125 per share. This is unchanged as compared to 3rd quarter 2012.

Net Investment Income on the Statement of Operations is adjusted as follows to reconcile to DCF for 2012 YTD and 4th quarter 2012 (in thousands):

		2012 YTD				4th Qtr 2012
Net Investment Income		$	5,033				$	1,290
Adjustments to reconcile to DCF:
Dividends paid in stock			2,166					561
Distributions characterized as return of capital			3,248					818
Amortization of debt issuance costs			38					10
Interest rate swap expenses			(413	)				(77	)
Change in amortization methodology			242					60
DCF		$	10,314				$	2,662

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had total assets of $224.1 million at year-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 4th quarter 2012, total assets increased by $3.4 million. This change was primarily the result of a $2.6 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 purchases of $1.3 million and a net decrease in receivables of approximately $0.3 million.

Total leverage outstanding at November 30, 2012 of $36.4 million is comprised of $20 million floating rate senior notes and $16.4 million outstanding on our bank credit facility. Through the utilization of our interest rate swaps, we have essentially fixed the rate on approximately 71 percent of our leverage with the remaining 29 percent floating based upon short-term LIBOR. Total leverage represented 16.2 percent of total assets with a weighted average maturity of 1.3 years. Our leverage as a percent of total assets remains below our long-term target level of 20 percent of total assets. This allows the 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 9 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 15 percent long-term capital gain tax rate is currently effective through 2012. As a result of legislative changes, starting in 2013, 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.

Notes to Financial Statements November 30, 2012

1. Organization

Tortoise Power and Energy Infrastructure Fund, Inc. (the “Company”) was organized as a Maryland corporation on July 5, 2007, and is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Company’s primary investment objective is to provide a high level of current income, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. The Company seeks to provide its stockholders with a vehicle to invest in a portfolio consisting primarily of securities issued by power and energy infrastructure companies. 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.

During the year ended November 30, 2012, the Company reallocated the amount of 2011 investment income and return of capital it recognized based on the 2011 tax reporting information received from the individual MLPs. This reclassification amounted to a decrease in net investment income of approximately $91,000 or $0.013 per share, an increase in unrealized appreciation of investments of approximately $78,400 or $0.011 per share, and an increase in realized gains of approximately $12,600 or $0.002 per share for the year ended November 30, 2012.

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.

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

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

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 May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements” in GAAP and the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”). ASU No. 2011-04 amends FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” to establish common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP and IFRSs. ASU No. 2011-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has adopted these amendments and they did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB 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.

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) (“Managed Assets”), in exchange for the investment advisory services provided. The Adviser waived an amount equal to 0.15 percent of average monthly Managed Assets for the period from July 31, 2009 through December 31, 2011, and has contractually agreed to a fee waiver of 0.10 percent of average monthly Managed Assets for the period from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012.

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.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

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 resulted in the reclassification of $468,138 to accumulated net investment loss, $(499,860) to accumulated net realized gain and $31,722 to additional paid-in capital.

The tax character of distributions paid to common stockholders for the years ending November 30, 2012 and November 30, 2011 was as follows:

		Year Ended			Year Ended
		November 30,			November 30,
		2012			2011
Ordinary income*		$	6,109,131		$	5,551,882
Long-term capital gain			4,317,869			3,856,498
Return of capital			—			1,010,510
Total distributions		$	10,427,000		$	10,418,890

* For Federal income tax purposes, distributions of short-term capital gains are treated as ordinary income distributions.

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 November 30, 2012, the aggregate cost of securities for federal income tax purposes was $156,884,363. The aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all securities in which there was an excess of fair value over tax cost was $64,845,730, 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 $64,845,730.

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:

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following table provides the fair value measurements of applicable Company assets and liabilities by level within the fair value hierarchy as of November 30, 2012. These assets and liabilities are measured on a recurring basis.

(a)	All other industry classifications are identified in the Schedule of Investments.
(b)	Short-term investment is a sweep investment for cash balances in the Company at November 30, 2012.

The Company did not hold any Level 3 securities during the year ended November 30, 2012.

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.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

The Company utilizes the beginning of reporting period method for determining transfers between levels. There were no transfers between levels for the year ended November 30, 2012.

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. The table below shows the principal amount, acquisition date(s), acquisition cost, fair value and the percent of net assets which the securities comprise at November 30, 2012.

8. Investment Transactions

For the year ended November 30, 2012, the Company purchased (at cost) and sold securities (proceeds received) in the amount of $32,282,788 and $29,646,110 (excluding short-term debt securities), respectively.

9. Long-Term Debt Obligations

The Company has $20,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Series A private senior notes (the “Notes”) outstanding. Holders of the Notes are entitled to receive quarterly cash interest payments at an annual rate that resets each quarter based on the 3-month LIBOR plus 1.87 percent. The Notes are not listed on any exchange or automated quotation system.

The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company and, upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, will rank: (1) senior to all of the Company’s outstanding preferred shares (if any); (2) senior to all of the Company’s outstanding common shares; (3) on parity with any unsecured creditors of the Company and any unsecured senior securities representing indebtedness of the Company and (4) junior to any secured creditors of the Company.

The Notes are redeemable in certain circumstances at the option of the Company. The Notes are also subject to a mandatory redemption if the Company fails to meet asset coverage ratios required under the 1940 Act or the rating agency guidelines if such failure is not waived or cured. At November 30, 2012, the Company was in compliance with asset coverage covenants and basic maintenance covenants for its senior notes.

At November 30, 2012, the fair value of the Series A Notes approximates the carrying amount because the interest rate fluctuates with changes in interest rates available in the current market and is a Level 2 valuation within the fair value hierarchy. The following table shows the maturity date, notional/carrying amount, current rate as of November 30, 2012, and the weighted-average rate for the year ended November 30, 2012.

		Maturity		Notional/Carrying		Current		Weighted-Average
Series		Date		Amount		Rate		Rate
Series A		November 6, 2014		$20,000,000		2.18%		2.33%

On November 16, 2012, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a notice of its intention to redeem the Series A Notes on December 18, 2012. The Company expects to fund the redemption with the use of a margin loan facility. See Note 13 for further information.

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 has segregated a portion of its assets as collateral for the amount of the net liability of its interest rate swap contracts. Details of the interest rate swap contracts outstanding as of November 30, 2012, are as follows:

							Fixed Rate
							Paid by		Floating Rate
		Maturity		Notional			the		Received by		Unrealized
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		$	(53,272	)
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.		01/05/2017			2,500,000		1.34%		3-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR			(82,934	)
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.		08/07/2017			6,000,000		1.89%		3-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR			(350,311	)
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.		08/06/2018			6,000,000		1.95%		3-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR			(375,820	)
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.		11/29/2019			6,000,000		1.33%		3-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR			(82,130	)
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.		08/06/2020			3,000,000		2.18%		3-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR			(213,757	)
				$	26,000,000						$	(1,158,224	)

On October 3, 2012, the Company amended the terms of a $15,000,000 notional interest rate swap contract with a fixed rate of 2.66 percent and maturity date of November 6, 2014 to split the swap into three new tranches: (1) a $6,000,000 notional contract with a fixed rate of 1.89 percent and maturity date of August 7, 2017; (2) a $6,000,000 notional contract with a fixed rate of 1.95 percent and maturity date of August 6, 2018; and (3) a $3,000,000 notional contract with a fixed rate of 2.18 percent and maturity date of August 6, 2020. Also, the Company entered into a new $6,000,000 notional contract with a fixed rate of 1.33 percent and maturity date of November 29, 2019 that became effective November 28, 2012. This new contract replaces two existing interest rate swap contracts that had a combined notational amount of $6,000,000 and matured on November 6, 2012.

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 depreciation of interest rate swap contracts in the amount of $222,698 for the year ended November 30, 2012 is included in the Statement of Operations. Cash settlement payments under the terms of the interest rate swap contracts in the amount of $417,061 are recorded as realized losses for the year ended November 30, 2012. The total notional amount of all open swap agreements at November 30, 2012 is indicative of the volume of this derivative type for the year ended November 30, 2012.

11. Credit Facility

On September 14, 2011, the Company entered into an amendment to its credit facility that extended the credit facility through September 14, 2012. U.S. Bank, N.A. serves as a lender and the leading syndicate agent on behalf of other lenders participating in the credit facility. The terms of the amendment provided for an unsecured revolving credit facility of $18,000,000. During the extension, outstanding balances 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.

On June 18, 2012, the Company entered into an amendment to its credit facility that extends the credit facility through June 17, 2013. The terms of the amendment provide for an unsecured revolving credit facility of $19,000,000. During the extension, outstanding balances generally will accrue interest at a variable annual rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 1.25 percent and unused portions of the credit facility will accrue 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 year ended November 30, 2012 was approximately $14,900,000 and 1.49 percent, respectively. At November 30, 2012, the principal balance outstanding was $16,400,000 at an interest rate of 1.46 percent.

Under the terms of the credit 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 November 30, 2012, the Company was in compliance with the terms of the credit facility.

12. Common Stock

The Company has 100,000,000 shares of capital stock authorized and 6,951,333 shares outstanding at November 30, 2012 and November 30, 2011.

13. Subsequent Events

On December 6, 2012, the Company entered into a 270-day rolling evergreen margin loan facility agreement with Bank of America, N.A. 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.

On December 18, 2012, the Company fully redeemed its Series A Notes in the amount of $20,000,000.

On December 18, 2012, the Company terminated its credit facility with U.S. Bank, N.A.

On December 31, 2012, 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 $54,273.

On January 1, 2013, the Adviser 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.

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.

Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of November 30, 2012, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Privacy Policy

In order to conduct its business, the Company collects and maintains certain nonpublic personal information about its stockholders of record with respect to their transactions in shares of the Company’s securities. This information includes the stockholder’s address, tax identification or Social Security number, share balances, and distribution elections. We do not collect or maintain personal information about stockholders whose share balances of our securities are held in “street name” by a financial institution such as a bank or broker.

We do not disclose any nonpublic personal information about you, the Company’s other stockholders or the Company’s former stockholders to third parties unless necessary to process a transaction, service an account, or as otherwise permitted by law.

To protect your personal information internally, we restrict access to nonpublic personal information about the Company’s stockholders to those employees who need to know that information to provide services to our stockholders. We also maintain certain other safeguards to protect your nonpublic personal information.

Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan

If a stockholder’s shares are registered directly with the Company or with a brokerage firm that participates in the Company’s Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”), all distributions are automatically reinvested for stockholders by the Agent in additional shares of common stock of the Company (unless a stockholder is ineligible or elects otherwise). Stockholders holding shares that participate in the Plan in a brokerage account may not be able to transfer the shares to another broker and continue to participate in the Plan. Stockholders who elect not to participate in the Plan will receive all distributions payable in cash paid by check mailed directly to the stockholder of record (or, if the shares are held in street or other nominee name, then to such nominee) by Computershare, as dividend paying agent. Distributions subject to tax (if any) are taxable whether or not shares are reinvested.

If, on the distribution payment date, the net asset value per share of the common stock is equal to or less than the market price per share of common stock plus estimated brokerage commissions, the Company will issue additional shares of common stock to participants. The number of shares will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the distribution to the participant by the greater of the net asset value per share or 95 percent of the market price on the payment date of the distribution. Otherwise, shares generally will be purchased on the open market by the Agent as soon as possible following the distribution payment date, but in no event later than 30 days after such date except as necessary to comply with applicable law. The plan previously provided that the Company would use primarily newly-issued common shares to implement the Plan, whether its shares were trading at a premium or at a discount to net asset value and that the number of shares to be issued to a stockholder would be determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to such stockholder by the market price per share of the Company’s common stock at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on the distribution payment date. There are no brokerage charges with respect to shares issued directly by the Company as a result of distributions payable either in shares or in cash. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of

Additional Information (Unaudited) (Continued)

brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the Agent’s open-market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of distributions. If a participant elects to have the Agent sell part or all of his or her common stock and remit the proceeds, such participant will be charged a transaction fee of $15.00 plus a $0.05 per share brokerage commission on the shares sold.

Stockholders may elect not to participate in the Plan by sending written, telephone or Internet instructions to Computershare, as dividend paying agent, at the address, telephone number or website address set forth below. Participation is completely voluntary and may be terminated or resumed at any time without penalty. A termination will be effective with respect to a particular distribution if notice is received prior to the record date for such distribution. If a participant has terminated participation in the Plan but continues to have Company common shares registered in his or her name, the participant may re-enroll in the Plan by giving notice in writing to the Agent.

Additional information about the Plan may be obtained by writing to Computershare Trust Company, N.A., P.O. Box 43078, Providence, R.I. 02940-3078. You may also contact Computershare by phone at (800) 426-5523 or visit their Web site at www.computershare.com.

Approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement

In approving the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement in November 2012, the directors who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of the Company (“Independent Directors”) requested and received extensive data and information from the Adviser concerning the Company and the services provided to it by the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement. In addition, the Independent Directors requested and received data and information from the Adviser, which also included information from independent, third-party sources, regarding the factors considered in their evaluation.

Factors Considered

The Independent Directors considered and evaluated all the information provided by the Adviser. The Independent Directors did not identify any single factor as being all-important or controlling, and each Independent Director may have attributed different levels of importance to different factors. In deciding to renew the agreement, the Independent Directors’ decision was based on the following factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided. The Independent Directors considered information regarding the history, qualification and background of the Adviser and the individuals responsible for the Adviser’s investment program, the adequacy of the number of the Adviser personnel and other Adviser resources and plans for growth, use of affiliates of the Adviser, and the particular expertise with respect to energy infrastructure companies, MLP markets and financing (including private financing). The Independent Directors concluded that the unique nature of the Company and the specialized expertise of the Adviser in the energy infrastructure market made it uniquely qualified to serve as the advisor. Further, the Independent Directors recognized that the Adviser’s commitment to a long-term investment horizon correlated well to the investment strategy of the Company.

Investment Performance of the Company and the Adviser, Costs of the Services To Be Provided and Profits To Be Realized by the Adviser and its Affiliates from the Relationship, and Fee Comparisons. The Independent Directors reviewed and evaluated information regarding the Company’s performance (including quarterly, last twelve months, and from inception) and the performance of the other Adviser accounts (including other investment companies), and information regarding the nature of the markets during the performance period, with a particular focus on the MLP sector. The Independent Directors also considered the Company’s performance as compared to comparable closed-end funds for the relevant periods.

The Adviser provided detailed information concerning its cost of providing services to the Company, its profitability in managing the Company, its overall profitability, and its financial condition. The Independent Directors reviewed with the Adviser the methodology used to prepare this financial information. This financial information regarding the Adviser is considered in order to evaluate the Adviser’s financial condition, its ability to continue to provide services under the Investment Advisory Agreement, and the reasonableness of the current management fee, and was, to the extent possible, evaluated in comparison to other closed-end funds with similar investment objectives and strategies.

The Independent Directors considered and evaluated information regarding fees charged to, and services provided to, other investment companies advised by the Adviser (including the impact of any fee waiver or reimbursement arrangements and any expense reimbursement arrangements), fees charged to separate institutional accounts by the Adviser, and comparisons of fees of closed-end funds with similar investment objectives and strategies to the Company. The Independent Directors concluded that the fees and expenses that the Company is paying under the Investment Advisory Agreement are reasonable given the quality of services provided under the Investment Advisory Agreement and that such fees and expenses are comparable to, and in some cases lower than, the fees charged by advisers to comparable funds. The Independent Directors also considered the Adviser’s contractual agreement to waive fees in the amount of 0.10 percent of its 0.95 percent investment advisory fee for the period from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012. The Independent Directors also considered that the Adviser was reviewing and considering extending the investment advisory fee waiver through 2013.

Economies of Scale. The Independent Directors considered information from the Adviser concerning whether economies of scale would be realized as the Company grows, and whether fee levels reflect any economies of scale for the benefit of the Company’s stockholders. The Independent Directors concluded that economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict overall. Accordingly, the Independent Directors reviewed other information, such as year-over-year profitability of the Adviser generally, the profitability of its management of the Company specifically, and the fees of competitive funds not managed by the Adviser over a range of asset sizes. The Independent Directors concluded the Adviser is appropriately sharing any economies of scale through its competitive fee structure and through reinvestment in its business to provide stockholders additional content and services.

Collateral Benefits Derived by the Adviser. The Independent Directors reviewed information from the Adviser concerning collateral benefits it receives as a result of its relationship with the Company. They concluded that the Adviser generally does not use the Company’s or stockholder information to generate profits in other lines of business, and therefore does not derive any significant collateral benefits from them.

The Independent Directors did not, with respect to their deliberations concerning their approval of the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement, consider the benefits the Adviser may derive from relationships the Adviser may have with brokers through soft dollar arrangements because the Adviser does not employ any such arrangements in rendering its advisory services to the Company. Although the Adviser may receive research from brokers with whom it places trades on behalf of clients, the Adviser does not have soft dollar arrangements or understandings with such brokers regarding receipt of research in return for commissions.

Conclusions of the Directors

As a result of this process, the Independent Directors, assisted by the advice of legal counsel that is independent of the Adviser, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the Adviser, unanimously concluded that the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Company and the Adviser is fair and reasonable in light of the services provided and should be renewed.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.

The Registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the Registrant’s Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer. The Registrant has not made any amendments to this code of ethics during the period covered by this report. The Registrant has not granted any waivers from any provisions of this code of ethics during the period covered by this report.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

The Registrant’s Board of Directors has determined that there is at least one “audit committee financial expert” serving on its audit committee. Mr. Conrad Ciccotello is the “audit committee financial expert” and is considered to be “independent” as each term is defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR. In addition to his experience overseeing or assessing the performance of companies or public accountants with respect to the preparation, auditing or evaluation of financial statements, Mr. Ciccotello has a Ph.D. in Finance.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

The Registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services, audit-related services and tax services during the past two fiscal years. “Audit services” refer to performing an audit of the Registrant's annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years. “Audit-related services” refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit. “Tax services” refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning. The following table details the approximate amounts of aggregate fees billed to the Registrant for the last two fiscal years for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.

The audit committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures that require the audit committee to pre-approve (i) the selection of the Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm, (ii) the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm to provide any non-audit services to the Registrant, (iii) the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm to provide any non-audit services to the Adviser or any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant, and (iv) the fees and other compensation to be paid to the independent registered public accounting firm. The Chairman of the audit committee may grant the pre-approval of any engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm for non-audit services of less than $10,000, and such delegated pre-approvals will be presented to the full audit committee at its next meeting. Under certain limited circumstances, pre-approvals are not required under securities law regulations for certain non-audit services below certain de minimus thresholds. Since the adoption of these policies and procedures, the audit committee has pre-approved all audit and non-audit services provided to the Registrant by the principal accountant. None of these services provided by the principal accountant were approved by the audit committee pursuant to the de minimus exception under Rule 2.01(c)(7)(i)(C) or Rule 2.01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X. All of the principal accountant’s hours spent on auditing the Registrant’s financial statements were attributed to work performed by full-time permanent employees of the principal accountant.

---

In the Registrant’s fiscal years ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, the Adviser paid approximately $15,000 and $0 in fees, respectively, for tax services provided to the Adviser. These non-audit services were not required to be preapproved by the Registrant’s audit committee. No entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant, has paid to, or been billed for fees by, the principal accountant for non-audit services rendered to the Adviser or such entity during the Registrant’s last two fiscal years. The audit committee has considered whether the principal accountant’s provision of services (other than audit services) to the Registrant, the Adviser or any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Adviser that provides services to the Registrant is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence in performing audit services.

Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants.

The Registrant has a separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and is comprised of Mr. Conrad S. Ciccotello, Mr. John R. Graham and Mr. Charles E. Heath.

Item 6. Schedule of Investments.

Schedule of Investments is included as part of the report to shareholders filed under Item 1.

Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

Copies of the proxy voting policies and procedures of the Registrant and the Adviser are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.VOTEREG and Exhibit 99.VOTEADV, respectively.

Item 8. Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

Unless otherwise indicated, information is presented as of November 30, 2012.

Material Conflicts of Interest

Conflicts of interest may arise from the fact that the Adviser and its affiliates carry on substantial investment activities for other clients, in which the Registrant has no interest, some of which may have investment strategies similar to the Registrant. The Adviser or its affiliates may have financial incentives to favor certain of these accounts over the Registrant. For example, the Adviser may have an incentive to allocate potentially more favorable investment opportunities to other funds and clients that pay the Adviser an incentive or performance fee. Performance and incentive fees also create the incentive to allocate potentially riskier, but potentially better performing, investments to such funds and other clients in an effort to increase the incentive fee. The Adviser also may have an incentive to make investments in one fund, having the effect of increasing the value of a security in the same issuer held by another fund. Any of their proprietary accounts or other customer accounts may compete with the Registrant for specific trades. The Adviser or its affiliates may give advice and recommend securities to, or buy or sell securities for, other accounts and customers, which advice or securities recommended may differ from advice given to, or securities recommended or bought or sold for, the Registrant, even though their investment objectives may be the same as, or similar to, the Registrant’s objectives. The Adviser has written allocation policies and procedures designed to address potential conflicts of interest. For instance, when two or more clients advised by the Adviser or its affiliates seek to purchase or sell the same publicly traded securities, the securities actually purchased or sold will be allocated among the clients on a good faith equitable basis by the Adviser in its discretion and in accordance with the clients’ various investment objectives and the Adviser’s procedures. In some cases, this system may adversely affect the price or size of the position the Registrant may obtain or sell. In other cases, the Registrant’s ability to participate in volume transactions may produce better execution for it. When possible, the Adviser combines all of the trade orders into one or more block orders, and each account participates at the average unit or share price obtained in a block order. When block orders are only partially filled, the Adviser considers a number of factors in determining how allocations are made, with the overall goal to allocate in a manner so that accounts are not preferred or disadvantaged over time. The Adviser also has allocation policies for transactions involving private placement securities, which are designed to result in a fair and equitable participation in offerings or sales for each participating client.

The Adviser also serves as investment adviser for six other publicly traded management investment companies, all of which invest in the energy sector.

The Adviser will evaluate a variety of factors in determining whether a particular investment opportunity or strategy is appropriate and feasible for the relevant account at a particular time, including, but not limited to, the following: (1) the nature of the investment opportunity taken in the context of the other investments at the time; (2) the liquidity of the investment relative to the needs of the particular entity or account; (3) the availability of the opportunity (i.e., size of obtainable position); (4) the transaction costs involved; and (5) the investment or regulatory limitations applicable to the particular entity or account. Because these considerations may differ when applied to the Registrant and relevant accounts under management in the context of any particular investment opportunity, the Registrant’s investment activities, on the one hand, and other managed accounts, on the other hand, may differ considerably from time to time. In addition, the Registrant’s fees and expenses will differ from those of the other managed accounts. Accordingly, stockholders should be aware that the Registrant’s future performance and the future performance of the other accounts of the Adviser may vary.

Situations may occur when the Registrant could be disadvantaged because of the investment activities conducted by the Adviser and its affiliates for their other accounts. Such situations may be based on, among other things, the following: (1) legal or internal restrictions on the combined size of positions that may be taken for the Registrant or the other accounts, thereby limiting the size of the Registrant’s position; (2) the difficulty of liquidating an investment for the Registrant or the other accounts where the market cannot absorb the sale of the combined position; or (3) limits on co-investing in negotiated transactions under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Registrant and its affiliated companies may be precluded from co-investing in negotiated private placements of securities. As such, the Registrant will not co-invest with its affiliates in negotiated private placement transactions. The Adviser will observe a policy for allocating negotiated private investment opportunities among its clients that takes into account the amount of each client’s available cash and its investment objectives. These allocation policies may result in the allocation of investment opportunities to an affiliated company rather than to the Registrant.

To the extent that the Adviser sources and structures private investments in master limited partnerships (“MLPs”), certain employees of the Adviser may become aware of actions planned by MLPs, such as acquisitions, which may not be announced to the public. It is possible that the Registrant could be precluded from investing in or selling securities of an MLP about which the Adviser has material, non-public information; however, it is the Adviser’s intention to ensure that any material, non-public information available to certain employees of the Adviser is not shared with the employees responsible for the purchase and sale of publicly traded MLP securities or to confirm prior to receipt of any material non-public information that the information will shortly be made public. The Registrant’s investment opportunities also may be limited by affiliations of the Adviser or its affiliates with energy infrastructure companies.

---

The Adviser and its principals, officers, employees, and affiliates may buy and sell securities or other investments for their own accounts and may have actual or potential conflicts of interest with respect to investments made on the Registrant’s behalf. As a result of differing trading and investment strategies or constraints, positions may be taken by principals, officers, employees, and affiliates of the Adviser that are the same as, different from, or made at a different time than positions taken for the Registrant. Further, the Adviser may at some time in the future, manage additional investment funds with the same investment objective as the Registrant’s.

Compensation

None of Messrs. Birzer, Hamel, Malvey, Matlack or Schulte receives any direct compensation from the Registrant or any other of the managed accounts reflected in the table above. All such accounts are managed by the Adviser. Messrs. Birzer, Hamel, Malvey, Matlack and Schulte are full-time employees of the Adviser and receive a fixed salary for the services they provide. They are also eligible for an annual cash bonus based on the Adviser’s earnings and the satisfaction of certain other conditions. Additional benefits received by Messrs. Birzer, Hamel, Malvey, Matlack and Schulte are normal and customary employee benefits generally available to all salaried employees. Each of Messrs. Birzer, Hamel, Malvey, Matlack and Schulte own an equity interest in Tortoise Holdings, LLC which wholly owns the Adviser, and each thus benefits from increases in the net income of the Adviser.
