Competitive
Intensity Analysis Overview 22
Datamonitor' s MCI Index offers a robust
framework for measuring the development of energy Market Competitive Intensity
22
The MCI Index shows how competitive a particular market is. This has
applications for both new entrant seeking to enter the market, and established
players and former monopoly incumbents seeking to defined their market share
from new entrants. 22
The MCI Index assesses markets as they stood in
early 2009 and forecasts conditions likely to be prevailing in July 2012, five
years after full market opening 22
The MCI assessment draws on nine
underlying metrics grouped into three broad clusters: Market framework;
Supplier Push; Customer Pull 23
Each of the nine pillars has an assessment
scale to allow for the comparison of diverse markets (see appendix for more
details) 24
Gas Market Competitive Intensity 25
Strong Market
Framework factors help Denmark maintain a position towards the top of the MCI
gas rankings 25
All of Denmark' s Market Framework metrics score at the
upper end of the scale 26
Effectiveness of Regulator [2009: 8/10 2012:
8.5/10] 26
Ease of Third Party Access [2009: 10/10 2012: 10/10] 27
Pricing Regime [2009: 10/10 2012: 10/10] 27
Denmark' s Supplier Push
metrics are constrained by the lack of fragmentation in both the wholesale and
retail arenas 27
Wholesale Market Fragmentation [2009: 2.5/10 2012:
3.5/10] 27
Retail Market Fragmentation [2009: 3.5/10 2012: 5/10] 27
Traded Market Maturity [2009: 3.5/10 2012: 7/10] 27
All of Denmark' s
Customer Pull metrics remain modest 28
Access to Market Information and
Assistance [2009: 4.5/10 2012: 6.5/10] 28
Consumer Representation [2009:
4.5/10 2012: 5/10] 28
Propensity to Switch [2009: 3/10 2012: 5/10] 28
Electricity Market Competitive Intensity 29
Denmark leads Europe in terms
of power market competitive intensity 29
The maturity of the Danish power
market helps create relatively strong Market Framework scores 30
Effectiveness of Regulator [2009: 7/10 2012: 7/10] 30
Ease of Third Party
Access [2009: 10/10 2012: 10/10] 31

31
All of Denmark' s Supplier Push metrics score at the upper end of the
scale 31
Wholesale Market Fragmentation [2009: 7/10 2012: 8/10] 31
Retail Market Fragmentation [2009: 8/10 2012: 8/10] 31
Traded Market
Maturity [2009: 10/10 2012: 10/10] 31
Customer Pull metrics are
constrained by the low switching propensity 31
Access to Market
Information and Assistance [2009: 7.5/10 2012: 8/10] 31
Consumer
Representation [2009: 6/10 2012: 7/10] 32
