• Summary
• Analysis
  • Introduction: Datamonitor's Mci Index Offers A Robust Framework for Measuring The Development of Energy Market Competitive Intensity
  • The Mci Index Shows How Attractive A Particular Market Is to New Entrants in Terms of The Competitive Environment
  • The Mci Assessment Draws on Nine Underlying Metrics Grouped into Three Broad Clusters: Market Framework; Supplier Push; Customer Pull
  • The Mci Index Measures Competitive Intensity in The Eu 27 and 6 Related Markets
  • The Mci Index Assesses Markets as They Stood in Early 2008 and Forecasts Conditions Likely to Be Prevailing Three Years after Full Market Opening
  • Each of The Nine Pillars Has An Assessment Scale to Allow for The Comparison of Diverse Markets (See Appendix for More Details)
  • Two Differing Overall Mci Scores Are Calculated to Ensure Full Clarity of Results
  • A Simple Weighted Average (Additive) Measure Shows Overall Competitive Intensity
  • A Weighted Multiple (Multiplicative) Measure Shows Overall Competitive Intensity
  • The Mci Framework Has A Number of Applications for Your Organization
  • Context: The Maturity of The Belgian Gas and Power Sectors Puts IT Ahead of The Majority of European Markets
  • The Belgian Power Market Shows Development across All Metrics over The Forecast Period
  • in Common with The Power Market, Belgium's Gas Metric's All Show Improvement during The Forecast Period
  • Power Mci: The Belgium Power Market Has Strong Market Framework Scores
  • All of The Belgian Market Framework Factors Score at The Upper End of The Metrics Scale
  • Effectiveness of Regulator [2008: 6/10 2010: 7.5/10]
  • Ease of Third Party Access [2008: 8/10 2010: 8.5/10]
  • Effectiveness of Balancing and Data Transfer [2008: 6/10 2010: 7/10]

  • Retail Market Fragmentation [2008: 3/10 2010: 6/10]
  • Traded Market Maturity [2008: 2.5/10 2010: 4/10]
  • All of The Customer Pull Metrics Are Expected to Show Incremental Improvement by 2010
  • Access to Market Information and Assistance [2008: 2/10 2010: 6/10]
  • Consumer Representation [2008: 4.5/10 2010: 6/10]
  • Propensity to Switch [2008: 2/10 2010: 5/10]
  • Gas Mci: The Belgium Gas Market Has Strong Supplier Push and Customer Pull Scores
  • with A Relatively Strong Regulator and Favourable Pipeline Regimes, Belgium Scores Highly on The Market Framework Metrics
  • Effectiveness of Regulator [2008: 6.5/10 2010: 8/10]
  • Ease of Third Party Access [2008: 7/10 2010: 8/10]
  • Effectiveness of Balancing and Data Transfer [2008: 7/10 2010: 8/10]
  • The Existence of A Reasonably Well Established and Liquid Wholesale Market Is The Main Element of The Supplier Push Metric
  • Wholesale Market Fragmentation [2008: 2/10 2010: 3.5/10]
  • Retail Market Fragmentation [2008: 3/10 2010: 5.5/10]
  • Traded Market Maturity [2008: 10/10 2010: 10/10]
  • Belgium's Customer Pull Metrics Will Show An Incremental Improvement in The Medium Term
  • Access to Market Information and Assistance [2008: 3/10 2010: 5/10]
  • Consumer Representation [2008: 3/10 2010: 4/10]
  • Propensity to Switch [2008: 3/10 2010: 4/10]
  • Outlook: Competitive Intensity Is Likely to Remain Limited in The Short Term
  • The Less Well Established Nature of The Power Market Compared to The Gas Market Drives A Greater Increase in Score
