North Atlantic Energy Network January 2016
North Atlantic Energy Network January 2016 Orkustofnun (OS) - National Energy Authority of Iceland Norges Arktiske Universitet (UiT) - The Arctic University of Norway Energy Styrelsen - Danish Energy Agency Jarðfeingi - Faroese Earth and Energy Directorate Shetland Islands Council - Economic Development Service Greenland Innovation Centre 1 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The aim of the North Atlantic Energy Network project was to investigate how isolated energy systems in the North Atlantic can be connected to Norway and Greenland to form an electrical grid in the North Atlantic. Representatives of Greenland, Iceland, Faroe Islands, Shetland and Norway met in Copenhagen in the end of February 2015 to formulate how to tackle this question. Each country documented its status regarding energy production and potentials in the fields of renewable energy and the technological aspects were investigated. Greenland has a big hydropower and solar energy potential, which is not known in detail. Further work is needed to map the potentials. Due to lack of infrastructure and experience a cable connection between Greenland and the neighbouring countries is not realistic in the nearest future. It is technically possible to connect all of the neighbouring countries around Iceland with subsea cables. Iceland now produces about 18 TWh of electricity per year and could have the potential to double the production from geothermal and hydropower alone. There are many unclear aspects that need to be investigated further to draw a full picture of the pros and cons of interconnectors from Iceland. The legal and regulatory framework must be in place before a project of this kind can be realized and extensive grid reinforcements are needed to support export through a cable at a single connection point in Iceland. -

EirGrid Group is the organisation entrusted with the responsibility of managing the electricity grid in Ireland and Northern Ireland. As the designated Transmission System Operator and Market Operator, we operate the grid throughout the island of Ireland. We also own and operate the 260km East West Interconnector that runs between Ireland and Great Britain. We are a commercially run semi-state company, which operates in the interest of all people on the island. Our role is to deliver the electricity from where it is generated to where it is needed. We manage the network as safely and efficiently as possible, ensuring there is enough capacity to meet demand at any given time, 365 days of the year. EirGrid also operates the independent all-island electricity market, facilitating the buying of wholesale electricity by the suppliers who sell to the end user. We don’t participate in the wholesale or retail market, as we neither buy nor sell electricity. A quality electricity network is essential for everyone on the island of Ireland and one which we are proud to manage on your behalf. -
Methodology of Comparison 2013
METHODOLOGY OF COMPARISON 2013 Comparative Analysis of Sustainability Performance Methodological Remarks Convinced that a comparison of environmental, social and governance performance is of interest, not only to the Company itself, but also to its stakeholders, certain comparisons between Terna’s results and those of other com- panies are included in the 2013 Sustainability Report, as was the case in the preceding three years. Listed below are the main criteria adopted in the analysis, as an introduction to the reading and interpretation of the comparisons of individual indicators in the Report: • three panels of companies were identified: an industry panel, composed of the European transmission system operators and the major extra-European operators in terms of kilometres of lines managed; and two multi- industry panels, the first relative to large Italian companies (the 40 companies of the FTSE-MIB at 18 December 2013) and the second relative to the best international performers (the 24 world Sustainability Industry Group Leaders, identified by the RobecoSAM sustainability rating agency and disclosed at the publishing of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index of September 2013). The purpose of the three panels is to guarantee, also relative to the type of indicator reviewed, a comparison between companies with the same operational characteristics, an Italian comparison, and a comparison with the top international performers. The Terna figures do not contribute to the calculation of the average in the case of the RobecoSAM – Supersector Leaders panel; • the companies considered from among those in the three panels were those which publicise the information necessary for comparisons either on their websites, through the Sustainability Report (even if not prepared following the GRI guidelines) or through other documentation (HSE Report, financial report, etc.). -
An Analysis of the Level of Qualitative Efficiency for the Equity Research Reports in the Italian Financial Market
http://ijba.sciedupress.com International Journal of Business Administration Vol. 9, No. 2; 2018 An Analysis of the Level of Qualitative Efficiency for the Equity Research Reports in the Italian Financial Market Paola Fandella1 1 Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Italy Correspondence: Paola Fandella, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Italy. Received: January 15, 2018 Accepted: February 6, 2018 Online Published: February 8, 2018 doi:10.5430/ijba.v9n2p21 URL: https://doi.org/10.5430/ijba.v9n2p21 Abstract Corporate reports issued by various financial intermediaries play a major role in investment decisions. For this reason, it is particularly interesting to understand the accuracy of the forecasts, by carrying out an empirical analysis of the "equity research" system in Italy, identifying structural features, degree of reliability and incidence in the market. The choice of the analysis of the efficiency level information on the Italian market proposes to assess the interest of equity research of a niche market (339 listed companies in 2017) but with characteristics of potential growth such as having been acquired by LSEGroup in 2007, the 6th stock-exchange group at international level for the number of listed companies and the 4th for capitalization. The analysis was carried out on the reports issued on companies belonging to the Ftse Mib stock index during a period of 5 years. It aims to analyse the composition of the equity research system in Italy as well as the analysts' ability to properly evaluate the stocks' fair price, so as to test their degree of reliability and detect possible anomalies in recommendations to the investors. -

Comparison Methodology
COMPARISON METHODOLOGY Comparative Analysis of Sustainability Performance Convinced that a comparison of environmental, social and governance performance is of interest, not only to the Company itself, but also to its stakeholders, certain comparisons between Terna’s results and those of other companies are included in the 2015 Sustainability Report, as was the case in previous years. The comparative sustainability indicators regard the following themes: CO2 emissions, SF6 leakage incidence rate, hours of training per capita provided to employees and the turnover rate on termination of personnel. Listed below are the main criteria adopted in the analysis, as an introduction to the reading and interpretation of the comparisons of individual indicators in the Report: • three panels of companies were identified: the first was composed of the European transmission system operators and the major non-European operators in terms of kilometres of lines managed; the second, multi-sectoral in nature, is made up of large Italian companies (the 40 listed companies of the FTSE MIB at 31/12/2015); the third formed by the best international performers in the “Electric Utilities - ELC” sector (identified by the RobecoSAM sustainability rating agency and included in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index of September 2015). The purpose of the three panels is to guarantee, also relative to the type of indicator reviewed, a comparison between companies with the same operational characteristics, an Italian comparison, and a comparison with top international performers in the same sector; • the companies considered from among those in the three panels were those which publicise the information necessary for comparisons either on their websites, through the Sustainability Report (even if not prepared following the GRI guidelines) or through other documentation (HSE Report, Financial Report, etc.). -
