Market Competitive Intensity (MCI): Thailand

Datamonitor's MCI Index offers a robust framework for measuring the development of utility Market Competitive Intensity. The MCI assessment draws on nine underlying metrics grouped into three broad clusters: Market framework; Supplier Push; Customer Pull.

Report Highlights
MCI scores are calculated using two different methods. The first, the simple weighted average (additive) measure shows overall competitive intensity. The second, the multiplicative method, is more complex. It prevents markets with an overly wide spread of underlying raw scores from exerting undue influence over, or skewing, the final result.

Liberalisation, energy pricing issues and environmental concerns will remain key drivers of gas and power market dynamics throughout the MCI forecast period.

Introduction: Datamonitor's MCI Index offers a robust framework for measuring the development of energy Market Competitive Intensity 2
The MCI Index shows how attractive a particular market is to new entrants in terms of the competitive environment 3
The MCI assessment draws on nine underlying metrics grouped into three broad clusters: market framework; supplier push; customer pull. 3
The MCI Index measures the development of 20 Asia Pacific gas and power markets 4
The MCI Index assesses markets in December 2007, and on July 1, 2010, in addition to driving a market switching forecast 4
Each of the nine pillars has an assessment scale to allow for the comparison of diverse markets (see appendix for more details) 5
Two differing overall MCI scores are calculated to ensure full clarity of results 5
A simple weighted average (additive) measure shows overall competitive intensity 5
A weighted multiple (multiplicative) measure shows overall competitive intensity 5
In calculating the weighted individual scores, the power of the corresponding weight (zi=xi^yi) needs to be taken rather than its product (zi=xi*yi). 6
The MCI framework has a number of applications for your organization 6
Context: Ongoing energy market reforms will boost Thailand's competitive intensity 7
The Thai power market ranking shows improvement over the forecast period 7
In common with the power market, Thailand's gas metrics all show improvement during the forecast period 8
Power MCI: The Thai power market shows a marked increase in competitive intensity over the forecast period 9
Thai Market Framework scores show reasonable development by 2010 9
Effectiveness of regulator [2007 - 5/10, 2010 - 7/10] 9

Consumer representation [2007-2.5/10, 2010- 4/10] 11
Propensity to switch [2007- 1/10, 2010- 1.5/10] 11
Gas MCI: Thailand's gas market is slowly evolving towards a more competitive structure 12
Market Framework scores are comparatively strong 12
Effectiveness of regulator [2007 - 7/10, 2010 - 8/10] 12
Ease of third party access [2007- 5/10, 2010 - 7/10] 12
Effectiveness of balancing and data transfer [2007- 3/10, 2010 - 3.5/10] 13
Supplier Push metrics show limited development in the short term 13
Wholesale market fragmentation [2007 - 4.5/10, 2010 - 6.5/10] 13
Retail market fragmentation [2007 - 0.5/10, 2010 - 1/10] 13
Traded market maturity [2007 - 0 /10, 2010 -1/10] 13
Customer Pull metrics remain weak over the forecast period 13
Access to market information and assistance [2007- 1/10, 2010- 2/10] 13
Consumer representation [2007-1/10, 2010- 2.5/10] 13
Propensity to switch [2007- 0/10, 2010- 1/10] 13
Outlook: Commercial opportunities in the Thai energy sector will remain limited in the medium term 14
