Energy & Utilities

Ralf C. Schlaepfer

Are current energy market trends favourable for your business?


The energy market has indeed been energised – in Switzerland, in Europe, everywhere in the world. In a climate of conflicting interests revolving around regulation and liberalisation, guaranteeing the supply and investing in sustainability, energy suppliers are challenged to prove that they are ready for the future. PricewaterhouseCoopers will help you to make the right decisions.

What are the burning issues?

  • How can energy suppliers best prepare for intensified State control and how can they integrate new regulations as they arise (FESA, FESO, EnV, EnG, Swissgrid)?

  • Which business models and which value chains best meet the challenges of market liberalisation, consolidation and the unbundling of networks?

  • What effect will liberalisation of markets have on the ownership structures of energy suppliers?

  • In this fiercely competitive environment, what can energy suppliers do to stand out from the crowd? How do they arrive at innovative solutions and how do they intensify client relationships?

  • What solutions are available for coping with the ever-increasing supply and price risks in energy procurement, production and distribution?

  • In what ways can the climate and CO2 debate help companies to make the right investments in sustainability and alternative energy?

  • What internal processes and IT solutions are best suited to bridge the gap between performance increase and cost reduction?
