In recognition of the changing industry and regulatory environment for electric power, we have significantly added to our electric power capabilities in Europe over the past three years, in terms of both staff and of the depth and breadth of our research. Based on strong client demand for a dedicated team and service focused on the impending sea change for the power industry and our desire not to lessen the service we provide to the natural gas industry and market in Europe, CERA is pleased to announce the launch of the European Power Advisory Service as of 1 April 2000. This new service, in combination with our existing European Gas Advisory Service, will maintain CERA's thought leadership and provide clients with an "early warning" system in these fast changing and important markets. The two teams will continue to work closely together, which will allow them to identify and analyze the important aspects of "convergence" between the gas and electric power markets while highlighting and researching the independent issues in each market. European Gas Advisory Service The European Gas Advisory Service will continue to provide clients with independent analysis and insight on the changing dynamics of the European gas market. It offers decision makers clear and comprehensive analysis on the future energy landscape and the challenges posed by the emerging competitive environment in Europe. The focus is on market fundamentals, the impact of European Union and national policies, the changing industry structure, and strategic responses. The deliverables include: The semi-annual European Gas Watch European Gas Decision Briefs European Gas Private Reports European Gas Energy Signposts Interactive media conference calls Dedicated European Gas website-highlighting CERA's current thinking and market fundamentals on the gas sector in Europe on a country-by-country basis.
