Abstract
Introduction
Evolving competitive dynamics are rapidly and significantly changing the face
of the gas and power markets in and around Europe. As such, a timely and
broadly based understanding of the market landscape is vital for players
throughout the energy value chain. Central to this is an understanding of the
exact stage of competitive development reached in each market, and how it is
likely to change.
Scope
*Up-to-date insight on market structures, regulatory developments, supply and
demand balances, asset developments and player strategies.
*Insight into current levels of gas and power competitive intensity
benchmarked against 33 relevant markets (EU 27 and 6 related countries).
*Forecasts of how the nine metrics making up the competitive intensity scores
will change by 2012.
Highlights
The MCI scores draw on nine underlying metrics grouped into three categories:
Market Framework (Regulatory Effectiveness; Pricing Regime; Ease of Third
Party Access), Supplier Push (Wholesale Fragmentation, Retail Fragmentation,
Traded Market Maturity), and Customer Pull (Access to Market Information,
Consumer Representation, Propensity to Switch)
Each of the Energy Market Landscape series provides a profile of both the
relevant gas and power market. Issues examined include regulatory structures,
player strategies and supply/demand dynamics. There is also a list of
operational, planned and under construction infrastructure including power
stations, pipelines, LNG terminals and storage sites
Reasons to Purchase
*Obtain up-to-date, relevant and standardized information on European and
related energy markets from a single source.
*Have a logical framework to monitor market developments and emerging trends,
identify opportunities and plan strategies accordingly.
*Assess current and future gas and power market competitive environments by
gaining insight into factors driving market competitiveness.

Competitive Intensity Analysis Overview 10
Datamonitor' s MCI Index offers
a robust framework for measuring the development of energy Market Competitive
Intensity 10
The MCI Index shows how competitive a particular market is.
This has applications for both new entrants seeking to enter the market, and
established players and former monopoly incumbents seeking to defined their
market share from new entrants. 10
The MCI Index assesses markets as they
stood in early 2010 and forecasts conditions likely to be prevailing in July
2013, five years after full market opening. 10
The MCI assessment draws on
nine underlying metrics grouped into three broad clusters: Market framework;
Supplier Push; Customer Pull 11
Each of the nine pillars has an assessment
scale to allow for the comparison of diverse markets (see appendix for more
details) 12
Gas Market Competitive Intensity 13
A gas market will not
emerge in Cyprus during the forecast period 13
Cyprus does not currently
have a gas market 14
Cyprus does not currently have a gas market 14
Electricity Market Competitive Intensity 15
Cyprus' s ranking changes only
slightly over the forecast period 15
Cyprus' s power market achieves only a
modest score 16
Market Framework scores will remain modest in 2013 16
Effectiveness of Regulator [2010: 5/10 2013: 6/10] 16
Ease of
Third Party Access [2010: 2.5/10 2013: 3.5/10] 17
Pricing Regime
[2010: 1.5/10 2013: 1.5/10] 17
The EAC monopoly drags the Supplier
Push metrics down 17
Wholesale Market Fragmentation [2010: 0.1/10
2013: 0.1/10] 17
Retail Market Fragmentation [2010: 0.1/10 2013:
0.1/10] 17
Traded Market Maturity [2010: 0.1/10 2013: 1/10]
17
Customer Pull metrics are very much at the lower end of the scale and
are likely to remain so in July 2013 17
Access to Market Information and
Assistance [2010: 1.5/10 2013: 2/10] 17
Consumer Representation
[2010: 0.1/10 2013: 1/10] 17
Propensity to Switch [2010:
0.1/10 2013: 0.1/10] 17
Commercial opportunities for new entrants are
unlikely to be found in Cyprus 18
