Competitive Intensity Analysis Overview 21
Datamonitor' s MCI Index offers
a robust framework for measuring the development of energy Market Competitive
Intensity 21
The MCI Index shows how competitive a particular market is.
This has applications for both new entrants seeking to enter the market, and
established players and former monopoly incumbents seeking to defined their
market share from new entrants. 21
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 21
The MCI assessment draws on
nine underlying metrics grouped into three broad clusters: Market framework;
Supplier Push; Customer Pull 22
Each of the nine pillars has an assessment
scale to allow for the comparison of diverse markets (see appendix for more
details) 23
Gas Market Competitive Intensity 24
Like the power market,
Romania' s gas market achieves a higher score that other more developed
economies in the region 24
Romania' s gas market score is undermined by a
weak Traded Market Maturity metric and weak Customer Pull metrics 25
Romania' s Market Framework metrics show little improvement over the forecast
period 25
Effectiveness of Regulator [2009: 5/10 2012: 5.5/10] 25
Ease
of Third Party Access [2009: 5/10 2012: 6.5/10] 25
Pricing Regime [2009:
3/10 2012: 4/10] 26
Romania' s Supplier Push metrics show only minimal
increases during the forecast period 26
Wholesale Market Fragmentation
[2009: 5.5/10 2012: 6.5/10] 26
Retail Market Fragmentation [2009: 5/10
2012: 5.5/10] 26
Traded Market Maturity [2009: 0.1/10 2012: 1/10] 26
None of Romania' s Customer Pull metrics rise above the bottom end of the scale
by the end of the forecast period 26
Access to Market Information [2009:
3/10 2012: 3.5 /10] 26
Consumer Representation [2009: 2/10 2012: 2.5/10]
27
Propensity to Switch [2009: 1/10 2012: 2/10] 27
Electricity Market
Competitive Intensity 28
Romania' s score is above those seen in other,
more developed, economies 28
Weak Customer Pull metrics curtails the
overall power score 29
Romania' s Market Framework metrics are driven by
the existence of the wholesale market and an efficient TPA regime 29
Effectiveness of Regulator [2009: 4.5/10 2012: 5/10] 29
Ease of Third
Party Access [2009: 7.5/10 2012: 8.5/10] 30
Pricing Regime [2009: 4/10
2012: 5/10] 30
Romania' s Supplier Push metrics are driven by fragmentation
in the generation market and the existence of the OPCOM market 30
Wholesale Market Fragmentation [2009: 6/10 2012: 6.5/10] 30
Retail Market
Fragmentation [2009: 8/10 2012: 9/10] 30
Traded Market Maturity [2009:
6/10 2012: 8/10] 30
Customer Pull metrics are likely to remain low in both
2009 and 2012 31
Access to Market Information [2009: 2.5/10 2012: 3/10]
