Porter's Five Forces Model Applied to the Energy Industry: Insights and Analysis

This template presents Porter's Five Forces Model specifically for the energy industry. The central circle highlights "Competitive Rivalry Competition in the industry." Surrounding arrows represent the five forces: "Threat of New Entry" (capital & time intensive, regulations, incumbents well established), "Supplier Power" (low risk due to vertical integration, reliance on overseas coal), "Buyer Power" (many energy retailers, low/no switching costs), "Threat of Substitution" (solar panels, community projects), and "Competitive Rivalry" (four major generators, many retailers, low customer loyalty). This model helps in understanding the competitive dynamics and market forces within the energy sector.
