throughout the world.
- Detailed understanding of the market context behind factors driving both
the sector as a whole and individual deals.
- An overview of deal trends on a historical basis and the progress of
individual deals as they happen.
Highlights
The outlook for M&A activity in the current buoyant market leaves utilities
looking for both partners and targets. As companies continue to employ various
permutations of the attack/defend strategy in response to market
liberalization, the scope for continued M&A activity on both a large and a
small scale is positive.
The forthcoming third package of EU energy legislation should, at least in
theory, give strong impetus to M&A activity in the energy and utilities
sector. Debate of this legislation is likely to dominate the six month
Slovenian presidency of the EU starting in January 2008.
M&A activity remains key for players seeking to internationalize. The ongoing
liberalization of utilities markets around the world has continued to dominate
the agenda for players in and around the sector. One of the consequences of
this liberalization has been the significant impact upon M&A activity.
