Abstract
Overview
Introduction
The leading utilities are expanding geographically and along the energy value
chain. The implementation of the EU 2nd Directive by European national markets
has increased the viability for companies to assure higher additional revenues
and earnings from gaining greater market share across these markets.
Scope
- Detailed breakdown of data by sector and geography across the energy value
chain
- Benchmark data and market shares for 12 leading European utilities
- Analysis of their structural hedge across the companies core markets
- Base financial benchmarking, by revenue, earnings, PE ratio, debt/equity
ratio and cash flow
Report Highlights
Entry into the CEE competitive arena has not been just a German affair. Where
surprisingly EDF, Vattenfall and Electrabel have a greater generation capacity
market share than E.ON and RWE. RWE and E.ON have focused on supply and
distribution assets, whereas EDF, Vattenfall and Electrabel have gained both
supply and generation assets
The trend for leading European utilities remains to be significantly short for
gas. Only 4 of the leading 12 companies benchmarked have equity gas. This
structural hedge leaves all the key players exposed to wholesale price
movements, with the ramifications evident from recent UK gas wholesale price
developments
