Moreover, state-owned companies, particularly from China but also the Middle East, are increasingly eyeing European infrastructure assets. • Oil & gas companies are joining the hunt for utility assets. Scope believes that those players are looking for increasing diversification and ‘forward integration’, particularly in light of volatile oil & gas pricing, hence their search for assets which could provide a buffer from potential volatility in the core business or broaden their access to retail rather than industrial customers. These companies are also laying long-term plans for what might replace their core business if and when hydrocarbons start playing a significantly less important role in economic activity. • The incumbent utilities are jostling for position as foreign competitors from outside Europe look to expand their geographic footprint in the region. Scope regards this increasingly diverse stakeholder circle as a feature of infrastructure investing in Europe, with energy assets joining others such a water utilities and airports, which sets it apart from other sectors. Intensified battle for assets Given the intensifying battle over compelling assets, prices are rising, visible in increased displayed by rising valuations stock market valuation multiples for listed utilities, up at new highs, particularly for and accelerated transaction regulated utilities. Utilities stocks (EURO STOXX Utilities) have risen on average by 25% volumes in the past five years based on enterprise value/EBITDA multiples (see Figure 5). Hence, the price premium which needs to be paid on these industry multiples for acquiring follows that pattern, particularly when different stakeholders will be fighting over the acquisition target. Reflecting the landmark transactions in 2018, e.g. Fortum-Uniper, CVC/Grupo Alba-Gas Natural Fenosa, Allianz-Elenia; Elia/KfW-50Hertz, and potential transactions such as China Three Gorges bid for EDP, deal volumes are likely to surpass the USD 50bn mark in 2018 (see Figure 4).

In the two years since our last Demand Response Map was published, we have seen improvements in almost all of the countries analysed, but progress has been gradual. Markets are slowly being opened where they were once closed, the role of aggregation is becoming more defined, and market product requirements are becoming more accessible for Demand Response. However, there is still much work to be done and flexibility potential to be realised across the continent.
