New Research and Analysis Reports in the Global Energy Industry
As was the case with other industries that have been deregulated, natural gas deregulation has resulted in competition which helps lower the cost of natural gas and increase customer choices.
Deregulation is the process of lessening the amount of government restrictions an oversight applied to private companies. The natural gas industry has been gradually deregulated over the past ten years.
In recent years, Newton-Evans Research Company has conducted several research programs providing a clear view of the international market for supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems among electric, water and gas utilities, and gas and oil pipeline companies. This study is Newton-Evans’ sixth water industry study of SCADA usage patterns and trends, but the first in several years.
This new series will provide an in-depth appraisal of the central and remote site hardware, applications software, and communications services that water and waste water utilities are now using and will be requesting during their next round of procurements for SCADA systems.
The research study has resulted in a comprehensive and informative series of reports on control systems usage patterns and plans of water utilities in more than 100 major and mid-size cities and water districts throughout North America. Volume one contains a summary of research findings from the North American market. An analysis and forecast for the water industry IT and SCADA market is the second volume in the series. The final volume profiles more than 20 suppliers of SCADA -related systems, software and services to the water utility marketplace is also available.
