What we’ll examine Ontario’s electricity distributors face ongoing pressures to be more efficient, while providing greater value to both shareholders and customers. The theme of this year’s Roundtable – Horizontal and Vertical Integration: Strategic Partnerships – LDCs and the Municipalities they Serve - draws on the notion of scale and scope, but is taken from the perspective of horizontal and vertical integration. It’s about improving efficiency and providing value, and realizing strategic alignment with municipal owners and like-minded industry partners. It’s in line with the provincial government’s desire that LDCs find ways to achieve greater efficiencies through horizontal integration (scale) and vertical integration (scope). Vertically integrated entities are united through a common entity. Each member of the supply chain produces a different product or market-specific service, and the products combine to satisfy a common need. Vertical integration can help reduce costs and improve efficiency by reducing turnaround time, among other advantages. Horizontal integration describes the acquisition of additional business activities that are at the same level of the value chain in similar or different industries. It’s a business strategy whereby a company creates or acquires production units for outputs which are alike – a single firm of several firms involved in the same level of production and sharing resources at that level. Who Should Attend Utilities, suppliers, industry regulators, smart grid and green energy companies and organizations, government and educators – senior executives, all facets of management and utility operations.
