New: European Energy Market Observatory 09

Report highlights turning point for Utilities

VaasaETT is proud to announce the launch of the Capgemini European Energy Market Observatory 2009, 11th edition, a report conducted in collaboration with VaasaETT. This in-depth 98 page report is arguably the leading annual summary or pan-European issues in the energy industry.

The Eleventh edition reveals the full impact of economic crisis on Utilities sector and sheds light on challenges around continuing investments and meeting legislative targets

Selected Findings:
The report outlines how the global recession has put utilities under pressure with expectations of a historical drop in global electricity consumption (-3.5%) and global gas demand (-3%), forcing them to take short-term and longer term measures:

1. in the short-term, utilities are deferring or cancelling investments in much needed infrastructure and also divesting assets;
2. in the longer term, a deeper change in their business models is needed.

In addition, the report indicates that there is still action needed on climate-change issues in order to meet the 2020 objectives laid out by the EU Climate and Energy Package, although the European Union is ahead of other regions in this area.
