Le opzioni reali per gli investimenti energetici
Il settore energetico italiano è caratterizzato da grandi sfide. Attualmente molti progetti rischiano di essere ritardati o persino cancellati a causa dell’incertezza dominante nei mercati italiani, europei e mondiali.
La scenario attuale dei mercati energetici è dominato dall’incertezza: l’alta volatilità dei prezzi delle materie prime, le incertezze normative e politiche sull’energy mix e sui meccanismi di sostegno delle scelte energetiche ed in infine consumi in rapido cambiamento minano la tradizionale capacità delle aziende del settore di operare investimenti di medio e lungo termine. A ciò è necessario aggiungere la considerazione che questi mercati sono tradizionalmente poco liquidi, oltre ad analisi di natura geopolitica sulla sicurezza degli approvvigionamenti e di natura finanziaria alla luce dell’andamento dei mercati finanziari mondiali.
