Abstract
Introduction
Datamonitor' s Market Competitive Intensity Index (MCI) is a robust framework
for measuring and benchmarking the development of competitiveness and market
conditions in a range of gas and electricty markets. The MCI assessment draws
on nine underlying metrics grouped into three broad clusters: Market
framework; Supplier Push and Customer Pull.
Scope
Insight into the current levels of competitiveness in the gas and power
markets of the EU 27 and 6 related markets. Analysis of the commercial
opportunities and threats in the selected markets both currently and in 2010.
A benchmarking of the factors driving competition and market entry in the gas
and power sectors of the selected markets.
Highlights
Datamonitor' s MCI Index offers a robust framework for measuring the
development of utility Market Competitive Intensity. MCI scores are calculated
using two different methods. The first, the simple weighted average (additive)
measure shows overall competitive intensity. The second, the multipliative
method, is more complex. It prevents markets with an overly wide spread of
underlying raw scores from exerting undue influence over, or skewing, the
final result.
Reasons to Purchase
Assess the competitive environments of gas and power markets both now and in
the future. Gain insight into value chain factors driving market
competitiveness and how each individual part of the chain will evolve as
competition develops. Screen future market entry plans against the MCI scores
to highlight key areas of potential risk and opportunity. .
