 This series measures current market size and offers projections on a world region basis through the year 2010. In addition to profiling utility requirements individually, the research program focuses on defining the broader product and market requirements that suppliers must meet in order to successfully participate in the SCADA, EMS, and DMS programs within the electric utility community worldwide. It helps to determine the attitudes, plans and activities among operations and engineering managers in electric utilities throughout the world that are using, or planning to use, computer-based energy management systems (EMS), supervisory control and data acquisition systems (SCADA), and distribution management systems (DMS).

This 4-volume series is a result of a nine-month research program, conducting a global survey of protective relay usage patterns in the world’s electric power business. Findings from more than 200 North American utilities and from more than 40 international utilities from major countries around the world point up the continuation of trends first observed in the company’s earlier editions of the same study. The findings have been compiled into a series of four reports.

 The oil and gas industry has witnessed a dramatic rise in oil prices since 2003; oil prices have been driven high by a combination of factors – mainly a rapid acceleration in oil consumption on the back of robust economic growth, juxtaposed with supply side constraints as oil production capacity is almost fully utilized. Lingering event risks such as terrorist strikes, political events or natural calamities that could lead to a disruption to global oil supply have also added a premium to oil prices. Strong oil prices have enabled large oil & gas companies to report record profits, which has not only earned them media attention but also the ire of consumers (and thus politicians) hit by high energy prices. Many countries, including the United States, have introduced or are considering imposing “windfall” taxes on oil & gas companies. Given the reliance on oil for meeting a nation’s energy requirements, interventions by local and national governments are fairly commonplace in the industry. Bolivia nationalized its gas reserves and Venezuela forced the international companies to cede control. In Europe, Gazprom’s decision to cut off Ukraine’s supplies sent ripples throughout Europe, which is heavily reliant on Russian gas. This report identifies the underlying long term trends in the industry and their implications for future energy demand and consumption. It also outlines the main drivers of oil prices and analyzes the global oil & gas reserves and consumption patterns. Finally, the report profiles the top ten oil & gas companies that are owned and managed by the private sector. For each company, a summary of the business model, strengths, strategies and challenges that the company faces will be analyzed. Companies, where the government owns more than 50% of the equity or exercises substantial control, have been excluded from the report.

 The goal of the ongoing Mediterranean Ring project is to provide interconnection of electric power transmission grids among the countries and regions that encircle the Mediterranean Sea. This, in turn, will increase energy security in the entire region, and enable more efficient power flows at lower costs and with a need for fewer power plants to meet rapidly increasing demand for electricity in the southern and eastern Mediterranean regions. The concept involves linking electric power grids from Spain to Morocco through the remaining Maghreb (North African and Western Arab) countries, on to Egypt and the Mashreq, (Eastern Arab) countries, and from there up to Turkey. From Turkey the Ring would then link back into the European grid via Greece or through the newly interconnected Eastern European country grids.

The European Union nations have taken the lead in assisting the Mediterranean region in its quest to be synchronously interconnected to the European grid. The objectives of such a huge system of electric power interconnections include these:
1) Provide increased levels of energy security to participating nations;
2) Defer or avoid construction of new power plants by importing/exporting electric power
among nations;
3) Balance the load and the demand for electric power across the region; and,
4) Cut back on the primary electricity reserve requirements within each country.

 Global and regional emissions trading markets are emerging and drive strategic energy policy. The EU-ETS is a leading player and dominated carbon trading in 2006; it is pivotal to achieving a truly ‘global’ carbon trading scheme and meeting the wider environmental challenge. The Clean Development Mechanism is key to engaging non-EU participants such as China who dominate the CDM market. With this new report establish the current level of trading in carbon and assess the drivers for global carbon trading.
This report provides:
Analyses of regional carbon markets and the interaction with global carbon programs (compares the EU ETS with alternative emissions reducing schemes)
