  • 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: Slovakia's Position in The Power Rankings Remains Favourable Compared to Gas
  • The Competitive Intensity Ranking of Slovakia's Power Market Will Deteriorate over The Period
  • Slovakia's Gas Position Remains Weak over The Forecast Period
  • Power Mci: Slovakia's Power Position Will Be Impacted by Customer Pull and Supplier Push Metrics
  • Market Framework Metrics Will Remain Higher of All The Other Metrics
  • Effectiveness of Regulator [2008: 3/10 2010: 4/10]
  • Ease of Third Party Access [2008: 2.5/10 2010: 3/10]
  • Effectiveness of Balancing and Data Transfer [2008: 3/10 2010: 4/10]
  • Concentration in Wholesale Market and Undeveloped Trading Market Pull The Supplier Push Metrics down
  • Wholesale Market Fragmentation [2008: 1.5/10 2010: 2/10]
  • The Wholesale Market in Slovakia Is Still Dominated by Slovenske Elektrarne A. S. (Se A.S.) Covering around 84% of Entire Electricity Generation. The Company Has Two Nuclear Power Plants, Two Thermal Power Plants and 34 Hydroelectric Power Plants. Italian Company, Enel, Has A 66% Stake in Se A.S, While The State Run National Property Fund Holds A 34% Stake. as Such, The Wholesale Market Remains Highly Concentration, with Little Prospect of Meaningful Fragmentation over The Forecast Period
  • Retail Market Fragmentation [2008: 4/10 2010: 5/10]
  • Traded Market Maturity [2008: 1/10 2010: 2/10]
  • Customer Pull Metrics Will Remain Relatively Low Due to Low Levels of Consumer Awareness and Switching
  • Access to Market Information and Assistance [2008: 2.5/10 2010: 3/10]
  • Consumer Representation [2008: 2/10 2010: 3/10]
  • Propensity to Switch [2008: 0/10 2010:1/10]
  • Gas Mci: The Monopolistic Nature of The Slovak Gas Market Limits Competition
  • Market Framework Metrics Doesn't Show Any Significant Improvement
  • Effectiveness of Regulator [2008: 3/10 2010: 3.5/10]
  • Ease of Third Party Access [2008: 2.5/10 2010: 3/10]
  • Effectiveness of Balancing and Data Transfer [2008: 2/10 2010: 2.5/10]
  • Supplier Push Metrics Remain Low over The Forecast Period
  • Wholesale Market Fragmentation [2008:1/10 2010: 1/10]
  • Retail Market Fragmentation [2008: 1/10 2010: 1/10]
  • Traded Market Maturity [2008: 0/10 2010: 0/10]
  • Lack of Consumer Awareness Prevents Switching
  • Access to Market Information and Assistance [2008: 0.5/10 2010: 0.5/10]
  • Consumer Representation [2008: 0/10 2010: 1/10]
  • Propensity to Switch [2008: 0/10 2010: 2/10]
  • Outlook: Both The Power and Gas Markets Are Likely to Develop, Though Far outside of Our Forecast Period
  • Although The Gas and Power Markets Are Currently at Different Stages of Development, Their Competitive Intensity Scores Converge in 2010
  • Power Scores
  • Gas Scores
  • Developments in The Slovakian Power Market Is Likely to Improve after Full Market Opening, Though Major Challenges That Remain Is The Lack of Competition in Wholesale and Retail Market
  • New Market Entrant Opportunities, Power
  • New Market Entrant Threats, Power
  • New Opportunities Lie Only If The Spp's Monopoly in Downstream Is Diluted
