  • 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 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: Market Size and Corporate Activity Are Key Factors Driving Gas and Power Competitive Intensity
  • Germany's Power Scores Are Relatively Strong over All Metrics Other than Propensity to Switch
  • Germany's Gas Metrics Are Currently Driven by The Impact of The New Regulator and The Lack of Concentration in The Retail Market
  • Power Mci: Most of Germany's Power Scores Are in The Upper Half of The Scale
  • The Creation of A Regulatory Body Has Revived Germany's Market Framework Scores
  • Effectiveness of Regulator [2008: 8/10 2010: 8.5/10]
  • Ease of Third Party Access [2008: 7.5/10 2010: 8/10]
  • Effectiveness of Balancing and Data Transfer [2008: 5.5/10 2010: 7/10]

  • Propensity to Switch [2008: 1.5/10 2010: 2.5/10]
  • Gas Mci: A Strong Increase in Germany's Gas Metrics Is Expected over The Forecast Period
  • Weaknesses in Germany's Market Framework Metrics Will Be Resolved by 2010
  • Effectiveness of Regulator [2008: 8/10 2010: 9/10]
  • Ease of Third Party Access [2008: 6/10 2010: 7.5/10]
  • Effectiveness of Balancing and Data Transfer [2008: 2/10 2010: 7.5/10]
  • The Large Number of Municipal Energy Retailers Drives The Supplier Push Metrics
  • Wholesale Market Fragmentation [2008: 3.5/10 2010: 7/10]
  • Retail Market Fragmentation [2008: 8.5/10 2010: 1010]
  • Traded Market Maturity [2008: 3/10 2010: 7.5/10]
