High gas price and liberalisation drive flexibility and efficiency
Utilities, independent power producers and merchant power generators face unprecedented change - deregulation and tougher competition, shifting consumption trends and more stringent emissions legislation. They also need to ensure reliability of supply yet reduce the cost per kilowatt hour of producing electricity. Raising efficiency remains a constant challenge. And finally the flexibility to fuel gas composition needs to be addressed in times of global transport of fuel gas.
Wherever they operate worldwide, utilities and independent power producers have to cope with rapid changes - tougher emissions legislation and fierce competition not least among them. At the same time they need to reduce production costs – yet major power interruptions dramatically illustrate the danger of cutting cost at the expense of reliability. To increase long-term profits, even at a time of volatile fuel and electricity prices, it is vital to continue to raise efficiency and productivity.
The electric power consumptionin the world grows very quickly to accompany the economic and social development. In parallel, the pressure on costs and requirements for environmental protection creates a new demand.
