• 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 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: Both The Gas and Power Scores in Hungary Hover around The Middle Position of The Markets Surveyed
  • Hungary's Power Position Remains in The Centre Range of Markets Surveyed
  • Hungary's Gas Position Remains Unchanged Relative to The Other Markets Surveyed over The Forecast Period
  • Power Mci: Hungary's Overall Power Score Is Constrained by Parts of The Customer Pull Metric
  • Development of The Market Framework Metrics Remains Modest Both at The Current Time and in The near Term Future
  • Effectiveness of Regulator [2008: 6.5/10 2010: 6.5/10]
  • Ease of Third Party Access [2008: 7/10 2010: 8/10]
  • Effectiveness of Balancing and Data Transfer [2008: 4/10 2010: 5/10]
  • Hungary's Supplier Push Metrics Are Constrained by The Dominance of Mvm in The Wholesale Arena and The Lack of A Traded Market
  • Wholesale Market Fragmentation [2008: 4.5/10 2010: 5/10]
  • Retail Market Fragmentation [2008: 6.5/10 2010: 7/10]
  • Traded Market Maturity [2008: 1/10 2010: 2.5/10]
  • Customer Pull Metrics Are Driven by The Levels of Switching Seen in The Non-Residential Market and Future Residential Switching
  • Access to Market Information and Assistance [2008: 2/10 2010: 3/10]
  • Consumer Representation [2008: 2.5/10 2010: 4/10]
  • Propensity to Switch [2008: 3.5/10 2010: 5/10]
  • Gas Mci: Strong Market Framework Factors Support The Overall Gas Score and Offset Weakness in Other Metrics
  • All of Hungary's Market Framework Factors Achieve Scores at The Upper End of The Scale
  • Effectiveness of Regulator [2008: 6.5/10 2010: 8/10]
  • Ease of Third Party Access [2008: 6.6/10 2010: 8/10]
  • Effectiveness of Balancing and Data Transfer [2008: 7/10 2010: 8/10]
  • Supplier Push Metrics Remain Constrained during The Forecast Period as A Legacy of Pre-Liberalization Market Dynamics
  • Wholesale Market Fragmentation [2008: 1/10 2010: 2/10]
  • Retail Market Fragmentation [2008: 4/10 2010: 4.5/10]
  • Traded Market Maturity [2008: 0/10 2010: 1/10]
  • None of The Customer Pull Metrics Move past Their Current Low Levels by The End of The Forecast Period
  • Access to Market Information and Assistance [2008: 1/10 2010: 2/10]
  • Consumer Representation [2008: 1.5/10 2010: 2/10]
  • Propensity to Switch [2008: 2.3/10 2010: 4.7/10]
  • Outlook: near Term Power Sector Commercial Opportunities Are Largely in The Generation Part of The Value Chain
  • Development in Competitive Intensity in The Hungarian Gas Market Will Continue to Lag behind That Seen in The Electricity Market

  • Short Term Commercial Opportunities in The Hungarian Electricity Market Remain Extremely Limited
  • New Market Entrant Opportunities, Power
  • New Market Entrant Threats, Power
  • High Levels of Gas Penetration and The Role of Existing Players Significantly Curtail Opportunities in The Hungarian Gas Market
