Content
- Productscan is a database of energy company tariffs across Europe
- Productscan will identify, over time, the prevalence of tariffs.
- Tariff innovation is a response to market liberalisation
- Liberalisation of the European electricity and gas markets is in its infancy.
- The most innovative tariffs are in the Nordic, Benelux and the UK markets.
- Innovation in gas tariffs is low as many markets are not competitive.
- Innovation in electricity tariffs is higher as many markets are becoming competitive.
- Energy tariffs can be more innovative than a flat unit rate
- Innovation in electricity tariffs has occurred alongside a fluid wholesale market.
- Apart from dual fuel offers, gas tariffs are not as innovative as electricity.
- Home services appear to be the most suitable non-energy tariffs
- Home services are ideal for energy companies, even in non-liberalised markets.
- Multi-utility tariffs exist, but only as a result of the structure of the market.
- Green energy tariffs are in their infancy and companies have yet to exploit them.
- There are some innovative tariffs that can be copied by other suppliers
- Standing charge tariffs should be scrapped in liberalised markets.
- Integrated green energy tariffs are a major opportunity.
- Wholesale market tariffs can provide choice for the consumer.
- Home services insurance is something all utilities should be able to provide.
