At the forefront
of change, wouldn't you rather be the frontrunner?
Global utility industries are
changing faster than ever before; Australia and New Zealand
are at the forefront of this change. There is increasing focus
on key industry drivers such as regulation, competition, the
changing role of Government, market administration and rules.
The electricity, gas and water industries
are undergoing a period of radical transformation. The speed
of change and the position in the life cycle of reform is varied
across different markets (geographic and product related). Each
market has its own unique set of attributes that have been accommodated
by the economic fundamentals. Understanding the forces at work
