Corporate Agenda: European Utility SWOTs
Datamonitor, Feb 2007, Pages: 15
Companies have many strategy tools with which to analyse company performance, make business decisions and prepare for the future. By filtering internal and external factors that affect company performance through the prism of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, companies can quickly: profile competitors; understand firm-industry dynamics; identify key areas for further analysis.
Scope of this title: A template for conducting utility SWOT analyses. A framework for understanding how specific utility issues interact with a companys position in the energy value-chain.
Highlights of this title: Increasingly liquid and transparent wholesale markets are a crucial opportunity for new market entrants, which are otherwise often faced with a lock-up of upstream supplies in long-term contracts by incumbent utilities. One significant way to minimise risk exposure is to operate in different markets. Risks relating to regulatory changes and retail price competition can both be minimised in this way. However, significantly diversifying wholesale market risks generally requires regional, as opposed to national, diversification. Control over network infrastructure provides: a steady stream of regulated income; scope for restricting competitor access to networks and markets; and reduced exposure to wholesale markets due to enhanced access to upstream supplies.
Reasons to order your copy: Understand how the traditional SWOT analysis framework can be adapted to the context of European utilities. Develop an internal framework for profiling commpetitors. Identify future threats and opportunities in a range of different energy industry areas.
