Unbundling – The Main Challenges
The main characteristic of Energy Market deregulation for Power is the break-up of the
traditional Value Chain, the so-called Unbundling.
The Uncoupling of competition-oriented Business Processes concerning Energy production
and distribution from the traditional monopole of the Utilities Networks changes today`s
structure of Energy-Providers.
SEEBURGER AG is the competent Partner for the development of an IT-oriented
Unbundling strategy, of a restructuring of your relevant Organization and Business
Processes, as well as the adoption of your IT-Systems to the legal requirements for
Intercompany Data Exchange.
One of the most significant challenges for Utilities in the unbundling-context is securing of
the utility companies investments in the future. Therefore SEEBURGER will be able to
help to quickly react on legal environment changes.
