Energy & Utilities Outlook - Five Factors That Will Shape the Future of Global Utilities: Predictions for 2007 & Beyond (Factor Two - Global Trends in Market Openings & M&A)
Datamonitor, Aug 2006, Pages: 7
Global market liberalisation in gas and power continues apace, as investment activity is set to peak in the US and EU. Several large markets are set for retail market opening in 2007 while liberalisation continues in most developing markets, even if only in the gas and power generation sectors. The EU will re-emerge as the worlds utility M&A hotspot.
Scope of this title:
- A projection of key M&A trends in 2007, the factors driving deals, and M&A hotspots.
- A projection of the challenges and the opportunities in certain liberalizing jurisdictions.
- A review of global market openings.
Highlights of this title:
- Federal states such as the U.S., Canada and Australia have left the decision to open up full retail competition to the state / provincial level of government. Developing nations such as Brazil and India have restarted liberalization measures, though reforms are stalling. - In India, investment in 2007 may be open at all levels of the value chain. High levels of debt by state electricity boards (mandated power purchasers) may be resolved, to facilitate IPPs. State generation/transmission/distribution companies may finally be unbundled in accordance with 2003 legislation.
- Legislative changes in the U.S. will begin to boost M&A and investment in energy networks in 2007. Partly in response to the August 2003 blackout, the Environmental Policy Act 2005 removed onerous approval and reporting conditions imposed on foreign and non-utility companies investing in U.S. energy businesses.
