DUBLIN, Ireland - (Business Wire) Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/a62e81/market_competitive) has announced the addition of the "Market Competitive Intensity (MCI): Turkey" report to their offering.

Datamonitors Market Competitive Intensity Index (MCI) is a robust framework for measuring and benchmarking the development of competitiveness and market conditions in a range of gas and electricity markets. The MCI assessment draws on nine underlying metrics grouped into three broad clusters: Market framework; Supplier Push and Customer Pull.

Scope

- Insight into the current levels of competitiveness in the gas and power markets of the EU 27 and 6 related markets.

- Analysis of the commercial opportunities and threats in the selected markets both currently and in 2010.

- A benchmarking of the factors driving competition and market entry in the gas and power sectors of the selected markets.

Highlights of this title

Datamonitors MCI Index offers a robust framework for measuring the development of utility Market Competitive Intensity.

MCI scores are calculated using two different methods. The first, the simple weighted average (additive) measure shows overall competitive intensity. The second, the multiplicative method, is more complex. It prevents markets with an overly wide spread of underlying raw scores from exerting undue influence over, or skewing, the final result.

Key reasons to purchase this title

- Assess the competitive environments of gas and power markets both now and in the future.

- Gain insight into value chain factors driving market competitiveness and how each individual part of the chain will evolve as competition develops.

- Screen future market entry plans against the MCI scores to highlight key areas of potential risk and opportunity.

SUMMARY

ANALYSIS

Introduction: Datamonitors 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

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: The nascent, but emerging, nature of the Turkish energy markets create longer term market entry opportunities

The less than competitively intense nature of Turkish energy markets is likely to give way in the longer term to a number of attractive new market entrant opportunities

The arrival of new gas market entrants will give further impetus to the gas score

Power MCI: The competitive development of the Turkish power market is likely to continue at a slow pace

Minimal change is expected in Turkeys Market Framework factors over the forecast period

Effectiveness of Regulator [2008: 3.5/10 2010: 4.5/10]

Ease of Third Party Access [2008: 2/10 2010: 3/10]

Effectiveness of Balancing and Data Transfer [2008: 1/10 2010: 2.5/10]

The dominance of a number of key state run utilities curtails the Supplier Push scores

Wholesale Market Fragmentation [2008: 2/10 2010: 3/10]

In common with the Wholesale Fragmentation metric, the former TEAS market structure still prevails, despite various governmental plans for privatisations and the dilution of former monopoly control.

Traded Market Maturity [2008: 1.5/10 2010: 2/10]

Customer Pull metrics only play a minor role in the current market structure

Access to Market Information and Assistance [2008: 1/10 2010: 2/10]

Market information and assistance in the electricity sector remains limited, and is unlikely to evolve beyond supplier only information sources in the medium term.

Consumer Representation [2008: 2/10 2010: 3/10]

Propensity to Switch [2008: 1/10 2010: 2/10]

Gas MCI: Privatisation and the arrival of new players will boost Turkeys gas score over the forecast period

Effectiveness of Regulator [2008: 3.5/10 2010: 4.5/10]

Ease of Third Party Access [2008: 1.5/10 2010: 2/10]

Effectiveness of Balancing and Data Transfer [2008: 1/10 2010: 2/10]

Supplier Push metrics will show an increase over the forecast period.

Wholesale Market Fragmentation [2008: 3/10 2010: 5/10]

Retail Market Fragmentation [2008: 3.5/10 2010: 6/10]

Traded Market Maturity [2008: 0/10 2010: 0.5/10]

Customer Pull metrics largely remain at the lower range of the scale

Access to Market Information and Assistance [2008: 1/10 2010: 2/10]

Market information and assistance in the gas sector remains limited, despite the existence of new entrants. These new entrants remain the main source of market information to customers.

Consumer Representation [2008: 2/10 2010: 3/10]

Propensity to Switch [2008: 1/10 2010: 3/10]
