Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets .com/reports/ c37112) has announced the addition of "UK Power and Gas: Stakeholder Views on Future Challenges and Reaction to Price Volatility" to their offering.

This brief provides an analysis of the opinion of industry stakeholders on the challenges to the power and gas sector. Surveys were completed with three groups of industry stakeholders. The stakeholders were 516 major energy users (buyers), 50 UK energy brokers and 61 energy sector employees, asking them about energy market issues such as security of supply and managing climate change.

Scope of this title:

--Analysis of views of energy sector stakeholders on security of supply, reducing CO2 emissions and increases in energy prices.

--Topical discussion on the potential challenges facing the market accompanied by quantitative ratings of potential solutions to these challenges.

--Discussion on the influence of new nuclear build on the energy sector and the ratings of stakeholders as to its potential.

Highlights of this title:

Massive challenges face the energy sector, not just prices and stakeholders believe the UK energy market needs to face up to its challenges.

Security of supply concerns are based on insufficient gas imports and nuclear.

The spectre of nuclear hangs over the UK energy sector, but do not disregard the value of nuclear in climate change.
