The energy distribution services sector faces several challenges to meet the growing demand of the population. Commercialization margins are affected by changing market rules and competition, where each country's own regulations seek to protect users and consumers. For some companies, their growth strategy is aimed at commercial frontiers.

Power generation companies are constantly challenged with changing fuel prices, demand constraints, tightening environmental controls and the entry of renewables into countries' energy matrices. As a result, operational excellence becomes a priority challenge, as conventional technology companies will continue to be major players in the energy supply mix for decades to come.
