• 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
  • The Mci Index Offers An Assessment of Competitive Intensity in January 2008 and A Forecast for July 2010 - Three Years after Full Market Opening Took Place in The Eu States
  • 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: Italy's Standing in The Gas and Power Rankings Remains Static over The Forecast Period
  • Italy's Power Market Positioning Remains Static between The More Developed Western Markets and The Emergent Eastern Markets
  • The Increase in Italy's Gas Score over The Forecast Period Is Relatively Modest
  • Power Mci: by The End of The Forecast Period, All of Italy's Power Metrics Are in The Upper Half of The Scale
  • Italy's Market Framework Factors Are amongst The Highest Scoring in Europe
