The leading utilities are expanding geographically and along the energy value chain. The implementation of the EU 2nd Directive by European national markets has increased the viability for companies to assure higher additional revenues and earnings from gaining greater market share across these markets

Scope of this title:

-- Detailed breakdown of data by sector and geography across the energy value chain

-- Benchmark data and market shares for 12 leading European utilities

-- Analysis of their structural hedge across the companies core markets

-- Base financial benchmarking, by revenue, earnings, PE ratio, debt/equity ratio and cash flow

Highlights of this title:

Entry into the CEE competitive arena has not been just a German affair. Where surprisingly EDF, Vattenfall and Electrabel have a greater generation capacity market share than E.ON and RWE. RWE and E.ON have focused on supply and distribution assets, whereas EDF, Vattenfall and Electrabel have gained both supply and generation assets

The trend for leading European utilities remains to be significantly short for gas. Only 4 of the leading 12 companies benchmarked have equity gas. This structural hedge leaves all the key players exposed to wholesale price movements, with the ramifications evident from recent UK gas wholesale price developments
