Introduction

Abstract

Introduction

The Performance pillar combines 5 financial metrics to measure business performance. The Scale pillar combines financial and operational metrics to measure the size of a utility. The Growth pillar measures the rate of growth of a utility' s financial and energy resources. 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.
  • A comparison and ranking of key metrics across Europe' s leading utilities.

Report Highlights

The Finnish utility Fortum leads on the Performance pillar and Russia' s Gazprom on the Scale pillar whilst Denmark' s Dong leads in both the Growth and Exposure pillars

Reasons to Purchase

  • See where a company ranks in European utility scorecard
  • Gain a comprehensive assessment of a company' s market share across Europe
  • Acquire a wealth of company data from retail volumes to structural hedge positions
