Abstract - The broad Energy and Utilities industry ecosystem is facing unprecedented changes and challenges from regulatory, policy and market forces. The traditional electricity and gas utilities are being forced to examine their business and delivery models to remain competitive and relevant. These forces are causing traditional regulated and unregulated market participants to innovate and evolve strategic elements of their value chain opportunistically and defensively. This presentation will explore leading trends affecting the Energy and Utilities markets and highlight significant risk facing market participants. It will also discuss evolving technology that may be driving market change and industry investment.
