Evolving competitive dynamics are rapidly and significantly changing the face of
the gas and power markets in the Asia Pacific region. As such, a timely and
broadly based understanding of the market landscape is vital for players
throughout the 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.

demand balances and asset developments
* Insight into current levels of gas and power competitive intensity benchmarked
against 12 other Asia Pacific markets
* Forecasts of how the nine metrics making up the competitive intensity scores
will change by 2012.

Highlights of this title

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.
