Utilities
Utility Companies are facing new challenges in securing the talented, senior level leaders with the capabilities to negotiate within and drive forward an industry on the cusp of change. Increased competition, market knowledge, coupled with a need for previous business network contacts are essential considerations if organisations are to be successful and be recognised as leaders within this field. Our holistic and diagnostic approach enables us at Future Corporate Solutions to identify the industry experts and match them with precision to the needs of your business.
The U.K utilities sector remains highly competitive in comparison to other global utility markets and incredibly valuable at a worth of over £8bn. Energy demand growth is forecast to increase in the developed world by 111% and by 645% in the emerging economies by 2030.
The manufacturing and transportation of Liquid Gas (LNG) has also seen a major growth, by 2005 there had been a 70% increase in forecast in the LNG market. The UK and international markets are going to need to work collaboratively and provide Long-term investment in new technology in order find new sources of oil and gas.
The expectations are for the value of underlying construction project implementations to remain firm for much of next year, before falling back during the closing months of 2010 and early 2011.
National Grid is preparing a major extension of its upgrade programme in a move that will open up billions of pounds of construction work.
The utility industry, which currently spends about £3bn a year on construction projects, is hoping to attract consultants and contractors outside its current partnering arrangements to compete for the work both in one-off tenders and new partnerships.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) is looking to re-tender almost £2.5bn of work now split between five contractors in a bid to cut construction costs.
The consensus within industry is that the National Grid are set to pursue projects worth as much as £10bn in order to upgrade the transmissions network to ensure it is capable of transporting sufficient energy to meet the increasing demand for onshore and offshore renewables. This massive task is also coupled with a new interest in emerging nuclear markets, high-voltage direct current links and carbon capture and storage. It is forecast that the associated spending will amass to £20bn.
Smart Metering
The way that Power is supplied in to our properties, both Domestic and Commercial, has changed very little over the past decade. Power is fed into the grid from power stations and delivered to us. To this day most utility companies rely on consumers to tell them that the power is out which then instigates a lot of investigation and man hours to identify the cause.
electricity This may be changing at last. A global movement is afoot to make grids "smart". This means adding all kinds of information technology to the process. Smart Grids have many advantages, some of which are avoiding blackouts and outages as well as saving energy and helping the environment. The American economy alone loses $150 billion a year in outages.
Governments around the globe have earmarked parts of their stimulus packages for smart grids. Utility companies have started to spend serious money. In recent years American venture capitalists have put more than $1 billion into smart-grid start-ups. Big electrical-engineering firms and information-technology giants are joining in to ensure they are the leaders in this pioneering new technology.
Some countries are further ahead than others in developing smart grids. Italy and Sweden are leaders in the market, some utility companies in Italy have already started installing smart meters in most households to clamp down on theft and cut off non-payers remotely. Sweden has recently become the first Government to make smart metering mandatory ensuring every customer now has a smart meter.
America's Department of Energy will soon start to dole out the $3.9 billion earmarked for smart grids in the country's stimulus package. In Germany, smart meters will be compulsory in new buildings from next year. Britain plans to complete a rollout of such devices by 2020.
