Energy Market Landscape: France
http://www.reportsandreports.com/market-reports/energy-market-landscape-france/
Introduction
Evolving competitive dynamics are
rapidly and significantly changing the face of the gas and power
markets in and around Europe. As such, a timely and broadly based
understanding of the market landscape is vital for players throughout
the energy value chain. Central to this is an understanding of the exact
stage of competitive development reached in each market, and how it is
likely to change.
Scope
- Up-to-date insight on market structures, regulatory developments, supply and demand balances, asset developments and player strategies.
- Insight into current levels of gas and power competitive intensity benchmarked against 33 relevant markets (EU 27 and 6 related countries).
- Forecasts of how the nine metrics making up the competitive intensity scores will change by 2012.
The MCI scores draw on nine underlying metrics grouped into three categories: Market Framework (Regulatory Effectiveness; Pricing Regime; Ease of Third Party Access), Supplier Push (Wholesale Fragmentation, Retail Fragmentation, Traded Market Maturity), and Customer Pull (Access to Market Information, Consumer Representation, Propensity to Switch)
Each of the Energy Market Landscape series provides a profile of both the relevant gas and power market. Issues examined include regulatory structures, player strategies and supply/demand dynamics. There is also a list of operational, planned and under construction infrastructure including power stations, pipelines, LNG terminals and storage sites
Reasons to Purchase
- Obtain up-to-date, relevant and standardized information on European and related energy markets from a single source.
- Have a logical framework to monitor market developments and emerging trends, identify opportunities and plan strategies accordingly.
- Assess current and future gas and power market competitive environments by gaining insight into factors driving market competitiveness.

Competitive Intensity Analysis Overview 21
Datamonitor's Market Competitive Intensity (MCI) Index offers a robust framework for measuring the development of competition in energy markets 21
The MCI Index shows how competitive a particular market is. This has applications for both new entrants seeking to enter the market and established players and former monopoly incumbents seeking to defend their market share from new entrants. 21
The MCI Index assesses markets as they stood in early 2010 and forecasts conditions likely to be prevailing in July 2013, five years after full market opening. 21
The MCI assessment draws on nine underlying metrics grouped into three broad clusters: Market Framework; Supplier Push; Customer Pull 22
Each of the nine pillars has an assessment scale to allow for the comparison of diverse markets (see Appendix for more details) 23
Gas Market Competitive Intensity 24
France's gas competitive intensity lags behind that of economies at similar stages of economic development 24
A minor fillip in the Market Framework factors is the only element supporting the French gas metrics 25
Regulatory effectiveness is the key driver of the Market Framework scores 25
Effectiveness of Regulator [2010: 7.5/10; 2013: 8.5/10] 25
Ease of Third Party Access [2010: 5/10; 2013: 5.5/10] 26
Pricing Regime [2010: 2.3/10; 2013: 3/10] 26
Supplier Push factors in France are influenced by the reduction in wholesale fragmentation that is expected to improve further by 2013 26
Wholesale Market Fragmentation [2010: 2.5/10; 2013: 5/10] 26
Retail Market Fragmentation [2010: 2/10; 2013: 3/10] 26
Traded Market Maturity [2010: 3.5/10; 2013: 5/10] 27
Customer Pull metrics all score low marks and are not expected to reflect any major changes by 2013 27
Access to Market Information [2010: 2.5/10; 2013: 4/10] 27
Consumer Representation [2010: 4/10; 2013: 5/10] 27
Propensity to Switch [2010: 2.5/10; 2013: 4/10] 27
Electricity Market Competitive Intensity 28
France's power market competitive intensity is the lowest of Europe's developed economies 28
France's Supplier Push metrics show particular weakness but they will be driven forward by an increase in Powernext liquidity 29
Increased pro-action and momentum from the regulator are likely to strengthen the Market Framework score by 2013 29
Effectiveness of Regulator [2010: 7.5/10; 2013: 8.5/10] 29
Ease of Third Party Access [2010: 4.5/10; 2013: 7/10] 30
Pricing Regime [2010: 4.5/10; 2013: 7.5/10] 30
Growth in the Supplier Push metrics will improve by 2013 30
Wholesale Market Fragmentation [2010: 1/10; 2013: 3/10] 30
Retail Market Fragmentation [2010: 1/10; 2013: 2/10] 30
Improved market information is expected to improve overall Customer Pull 31
Access to Market Information [2010: 6.5/10; 2013: 8/10] 31
Consumer Representation [2010: 2/10; 2013: 4/10] 31
Propensity to Switch [2010: 2/10; 2013: 3/10] 31
Exploiting commercial opportunities in France will be heavily influenced by a need to mitigate the role of established players 32
