Platts/Capgemini Utilities Executive Study
PDF - 1.3 MB
In the wake of a weakened economy and a new U.S. presidential administration, the North American energy industry is facing mounting challenges on multiple fronts – ranging from regulatory uncertainty and the environment to the lack of critical infrastructure and increasingly restricted access to capital. Focused on meeting these challenges, utility executives have strong opinions about how the administration should approach setting energy policy, according to the latest industry study from Platts and Capgemini.
Completed in late 2008 and early 2009, the Platts and Capgemini survey of top utilities executives was designed to:
- Identify and prioritize current industry issues
- Assess opinions about the future of the energy industry
- Measure steps utility companies are taking to prepare for the future
- Gauge perceptions about the Obama administration’s impact on the industry
The first phase of the research was designed to identify the issues, while the second phase statistically quantifies and prioritizes those findings.
An executive summary is available that describes the study’s key findings and future industry issues.
