A management report that examines the changing structure of the power market and the key production trends and trade flows. This report provides an in-depth analysis of 17 Western European electricity markets, with detailed data on market fundamentals, infrastructure, national and regional legislation and supply/demand conditions. It outlines how the power markets of Europe vary widely in terms of maturity and examines the key governmental, legal and political influences on the sector.

This report is an adaptation of an earlier study on Performance Based Rates (PBRs) that was undertaken in the first quarter of 2002.While the objective of that earlier report was to identify the states currently using, or planning to use, PBR’s and to determine the impact on utility capital and O&M spending as a result of PBR implementation, a more detailed questionnaire was developed for this rendition to capture a better understanding of the overall impact PBR’s might have on the utilities.

The 4 pillars each provide an insight into the dynamics of the selected company. The performance pillar combines 5 financial metrics to measure business performance; the Scale pillar combines financial and operational metrics; the Growth pillar measures the rate of growth of financial and energy resources whilst the Exposure pillar combines both operational and financial measurements of risk.
Scope
- A thorough review of the key operational and financial metrics that drive utility performance.

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).

The world regions included are the North American, Latin American, Mid East, Mediterranean, African and Asia Pacific markets. The series provides a comprehensive and informative report on the control systems usage patterns and plans of electric utilities around the world.

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 percentage of digital relays in the mix of the millions of protective relays used by the world’s utilities continues to increase. Nearly 60% of the installed generator relays and more than one half of transmission line relays in North America are now digital units. The majority of all new and retrofit relays for all electric power grid protection and control applications being purchased for electric utility use are digital units. There continue to be several niche market opportunities for the application of electro-mechanical and solid state relays.

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.

This report is based on a six-month collection of data during the second-half of 2006. The research survey included information on Automatic Meter Readings and Automated Meter Initiatives for 62 utilities that represent approximately 20% of the U.S. market, and about 16-18% of all North American electric utilities.
Offered in the report is in-depth information about the 40% of respondents’ plans for implementing AMR or AMI programs, or both for the four-year span covered by this effort, including the following details:

Undertaken during the first part of 2007, this study measures the usage of Demand Response (DR) programs.In electricity grids, demand response (DR) refers to mechanisms to manage the demand from customers in response to supply conditions, for example, having electricity customers reduce consumption at critical times or in response to market prices.
This study uncovered the following:
View Report Details
- There are two (2) major demands for increased Commercial & Industrial (C&I) Participation in Demand Response programs
- In key states, PUCs, utilities and ISO/RTO Organizations are pushing for greater C&I participation
- Cooperatives are strongly encouraging residential participation
- Total number of installed EMS at industrial and commercial sites is estimated at about 20,000-25,000 installations.
