FIVE FORCES ANALYSIS


The power generation market will be analyzed taking power generation companies, e.g. electricity utilities as players.
The key buyers will be taken as electricity retailers, and suppliers of raw materials, e.g. coal and oil extraction
companies, and manufacturers of power-generating equipment and other heavy electrical equipment, such as steam
turbines as the key suppliers.

Summary
Figure 7: Force s driving competition in the power generation industry in India, 2013

SOURCE: MARKETLINE

M AR KE TL IN E

Overall the degree of rivalry is assessed as strong. The Indian power generation industry decli ned noticeably in 2010,
but has since recovered well. It is expected to grow in the medium term, which may alleviate rivalry to some degree.
For most countries, fossil fuels or nuclear power dominates their power generation mix, however, in some countries a
resurgence of renewable electricity investment has occurred as governments start to "out-green" each other following
(relatively) productive climate change talks in Durban in late 2011. States such as China have seen increasing
investment in wind and photovoltaic capacity, and Brazil and Canada currently have larger proportions of hydroelectric
power than most other countries. In India, more than 80% of electricity is still generated from conventional sources (fossil
fuels). A problem specific to this industry is that electricity cannot be stored cost-effectively on a large scale, the national
and international grids must balance electricity generated with electricity used at every moment. Suppliers who use the
networks are obliged to input the same amount of electricity as their customers take out and are charged by the network
operator for any imbalances. The network operator also maintains some generating reserves with which to ensure that
the network can remain in balance. This creates inherent complexi ty and inter-dependencies across all users of the
networks and power usage within the network. The result of this is that the power generation companies have restrictions
on their productivity and have to comply with grid operator requests ultimately affec ting overall profitability whilst creating
a difficult trading environment.

Buyer power
Figure 8: Drivers of buyer power in the power generation industry in India, 2013

SOURCE: MARKETLINE

M AR KE TL IN E

Depending on the regulatory regime, power generation companies may have the ability to move forward into their buyers'
industry through entry into the power retail industry, selling electricity to end -users. For instance the operator of the Drax
power plant in the UK recently bought Haven Power in an attempt to forwards integrate into that industry. While it is not
often possible for generation companies to literally sell their own power direct to end -users (this depends on issues such
as the electricity industry structure, which is also usually controlled by the regulatory system), presence in the retail
industry means that power generators have an additional revenue stream that can defend their margins against
pressures such as volatile prices for wholesale power and their own inputs, such as coal or gas. Some industries do
have large energy supply companies with strong buyer power over the power generation companies. The typical end
consumer in an electricity industry does not have a distinct differentiation between compani es. Instead - assuming that
the industry structure permits choice of supplier - end-users base their choice of supplier mainly on price. Where
differentiation does occur is in the provision of renewable energy sources and some customers may choose companies
with higher use of these resources over a normal price based decision. Overall buyer power is assessed as strong.

Supplier power
Figure 9: Drivers of supplier power in the power generation industry in India, 2013

SOURCE: MARKETLINE

M AR KE TL IN E

Suppliers can encompass a wide range of companies depending on the type of power generation being used. For
instance in renewable energy production there are the electrical systems and building materials used in the initial
construction, but the number of regular suppliers reduces once the particular site (wind farm, solar power installation, or
hydroelectricity plant) is commissioned. However, in other methods of power generation, suppliers of fuel are crucial to
operations and their numbers are limited. For example a nuclear power plant is heavily reliant on the providers of its
nuclear fuels, so supplier power is greater, especially where there is the risk of oligopoly. Securing the supply of a
particular resource, such as natural gas, can become crucial. Supply from countries with large natural resources
increases their supplier power. These situations can also become politically problematic where the supplier is a state
owned facility. Supplier power is assessed as moderate in this industry.

New entrants
Figure 10: Factors influencing the likelihood of new entrants in the power generation industry in
India, 2013

SOURCE: MARKETLINE

M AR KE TL IN E

The threat of new entrants in this industry is moderate. Key factors influencing this force are the high level of investment
required in technology and raw materials, requirements for expertise, the need to find suitable locations for power plants,
and the cost of regulatory compliance. The prevailing trends of government policy will need to be negotiated. For
instance, almost all new power generation plants of any type have potentially controversial public impacts, and despite
the necessity of power generation facilities, entry to this industry can be hampered by negative publicity focused around
location, type, and expense of new facilities. Vertical integration of generation, supply and network activities, which
reduces the incentives to trade and for new companies to enter the industry, has remained a dominant feature in the
electricity industry in many countries. The Indian power generation industry has declined in recent years but if forecast
growth does materialize, it may attract new entrants.

Threat of substitutes
Figure 11: Factors influencing the threat of substitute s in the power generation industry in India,
2013

SOURCE: MARKETLINE

M AR KE TL IN E

For power generation companies with a heavy reliance on one form of fuel, substitutes in this industry are alternative
sources of power generation rather than an entirely new industry able to supersede the existing one. While new
technologies continue to enter the industry at regular intervals there are long periods of testing and large capital
investment needed to produce facilities with the capacity to compete with existing ones.
The power generation industry as a whole is also threatened by end -users opting for energy sources other than
electricity. Natural gas is one example: consumers can use gas instead of electricity for several purposes, such as
heating.
Finally, autogeneration by industrial users, and microgeneration by smaller end -users, in the form of solar panels or wind
turbines, may reduce demand for centrally-generated power, especially in countries with feed-in tariffs. The long process
of phasing in new technology, significant switching costs for end -users, and the attempts by the largest players to include
a varied range of power sources means that the threat from substitutes is weak.

Degree of rivalry
Figure 12: Drivers of degree of rivalry in the power generation industry in India, 2013

SOURCE: MARKETLINE

M AR KE TL IN E

The degree of rivalry in this industry depends first of all on industry structure, which is usually d ecided at a national or
state level. Some countries' electricity industries are fully liberalized, with complete unbundling of generation,
transmission, distribution, and retail operations, the ability of all end -users to switch suppliers, and so on. Others have a
much less liberal structure, with features such as suppliers operating as monopolies within particular geographical
regions. Also, wholesale industries tend to operate nationally rather than transnationally, and concentration within the
generation sector is often high.
Differentiation is difficult in this industry. However, one possibility is for generation companies to offer 'green' energy.
GDF Suez, which is a global energy player, is moving toward minimizing the negative effects of coal combustion in the
generation of electricity by introducing technologies to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions. This trend has been followed by
other industry players in their regional industries to differentiate their products.
The degree of rivalry in this industry is strong.
