Abstract
Overview
Introduction
This brief assesses the degree of competitive intensity currently prevailing
in four key power markets in Australia: NSW, Victoria, South Australia and
Queensland. Through the use of a scoring mechanism, the brief also forecasts
how this competitive intensity will evolve by mid-2008 and compares scores for
the four States against those of 20 European countries analysed in a previous
study.
Scope
- Insight into the current levels of competitiveness in four Australian
States.
- Forecasts of future competitive dynamics and their evolution within the
power market.
- Comparisons of the four key States against 20 European markets.
Report Highlights
Victoria rates as the most competitive State in Australia, just ahead of South
Australia, and then followed by NSW. However, by 2008, South Australia is
forecast to edge ahead of Victoria.
Only three European markets - the UK, Denmark and Sweden - score higher on
Datamonitor's Market Competitive Intensity Index than the three most
competitive Australian States.
While South Australia, Victoria and NSW continue to occupy the 4th, 5th and
6th places in the rankings against Europe from 2006 to 2008, the introduction
of competition into Queensland's residential sector will assist in the State
rising from 12th to 9th in the overall rankings.
Reasons to Purchase
Assess the competitive environments in four key States' power markets
both now and in the future. Gain insight into factors driving market
competitiveness and how each individual part of the chain will evolve as
competition develops. Contrast the competitiveness of the Australian market
against European markets to identify potential future developments.
