Abstract

La transformación del mix eléctrico en las últimas décadas ha sido uno de los pilares fundamentales de la estrategia empresarial en el sector energético. Teniendo en cuenta las enormes diferencias entre países, la escasa conexión eléctrica europea y el grado de concentración empresarial, se evalúa la evolución en 6 países europeos. El presente estudio realiza un análisis descriptivo de esta transformación, teniendo en cuenta la evolución de diversas variables cuantitativas en el sector. Las evoluciones son dispares, basadas en muchas ocasiones en realidades estatales diferentes. La propia estructura del sector, desde mercados liberalizados y teóricamente en competencia a otros regulados y basados en campeones nacionales como grandes empresas eléctricas que controlan buena parte del sector impide realidades similares, si bien la regulación europea trata de homologar la realidad continental para el sector. Del mismo modo, las transformaciones internacionales si tienen un impacto determinante en la toma de decisiones similares del sector, si bien muchas veces con estrategias dispares. En particular la reducción del consumo de fuel oil para la producción y la introducción de nuevas tecnologías renovables son procesos comunes por múltiples empresas. El presente trabajo trata también de realizar un estudio comparativo, desde una perspectiva regional, de una importante empresa eléctrica como Unión Fenosa con parte del entorno europeo en los años de vida de la compañía, entre 1982 y 2007. The transformation of the electric mix in the last decades has been one of the fundamental pillars of the business strategy in the energy sector. Taking into account the huge differences between countries, the low European electricity connection and the degree of business concentration, the evolution in 6 European countries is evaluated. The present study performs a descriptive analysis of this transformation, taking into account the evolution of various quantitative variables in the sector. The evolutions are disparate, based on many occasions in different state realities. The very structure of the sector, from liberalized markets and theoretically in competition to others regulated and based on national champions such as large electricity companies that control a large part of the sector, prevents similar realities, although European regulation tries to standardize the continental reality for the sector. In the same way, international transformations do have a decisive impact in making similar decisions in the sector, although often with disparate strategies. In particular, the reduction of fuel oil consumption for production and the introduction of new renewable technologies are common processes by multiple companies. The present work also tries to perform a comparative study, from a regional perspective, of an important electricity company such as Unión Fenosa with part of the European environment in the years of the company's life, between 1982 and 2007.
