Market Trends

Market trends can impact an organisation by influencing consumer behavior, altering supply and demand dynamics, and affecting the organisation's ability to remain competitive in the market.

As part of this study, we have identified a number of potential short-term to medium-term trends that could impact the organisation. These include the following:

Increase in Renewable Energy Use: With the increase in global awareness of the need to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change, the demand for renewable energy sources such as solar and wind will increase significantly. This could have a significant impact on Cemig, as they are a major producer of electricity in Brazil and have a significant amount of traditional energy sources. This trend will likely require Cemig to invest in new technologies and renewable energy sources in order to remain competitive.

Rise of Electric Vehicles: With the rise of electric vehicles, the demand for electricity will increase significantly due to the increased charging requirements of electric vehicles. This could have a positive impact on Cemig as they could benefit from the increased demand for electricity.

Decentralization of Energy Production: With the emergence of decentralized energy production technologies such as solar panels and wind turbines, more individuals and businesses will be able to produce their own electricity. This could pose a threat to Cemig as customers may no longer rely on them to supply their electricity needs.

Growth of Smart Grid Technologies: Smart grid technologies are becoming increasingly popular and are being used to optimize the efficiency of electricity production, distribution and consumption. This could have a positive impact on Cemig as they may be able to use these technologies to increase their efficiency and reduce their costs.

CATWOE Analysis

The CATWOE analysis is used to investigate each stakeholders perspectives in order to enable the business to make informed decisions.

The CATWOE analysis is a problem-solving tool consisting of six elements:

Customers
Actors
Transformation process
World view
Owners
Environmental constraints

We view the CATWOE as being most useful when used in conjunction with other problem-solving tools such as a SWOT analysis.

Customers: Cemig’s customers are primarily the consumers of electricity in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. They are households and businesses that purchase electricity for their own use.

Actors: Cemig is the main actor in this situation. It is a Brazilian electric utility company that supplies electricity to Minas Gerais. Other actors in the system include the government of Minas Gerais, which is responsible for regulating the electricity sector, and the consumers of electricity, who are the customers of Cemig.

Transformation process: Cemig’s transformation process involves the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity in Minas Gerais. The process begins with the generation of electricity, which is typically produced by hydroelectric dams. This electricity is then transmitted over long-distance power lines to the consumers of electricity. Finally, the electricity is distributed to the consumers through local distribution lines.

World view: Cemig’s world view is that it is responsible for providing reliable and affordable electricity to the citizens of Minas Gerais. It strives to optimize the efficiency of its electricity production and distribution processes to reduce costs and increase reliability.

Owners: Cemig is owned by the government of Minas Gerais. The company is listed on the Brazilian stock exchange and is majority-owned by the state government.

Environmental constraints: Cemig is subject to environmental regulations in Minas Gerais that limit the emissions of pollutants from its electricity generating plants. It must also adhere to safety regulations to ensure the safe operation of its power plants and distribution lines. Additionally, it must take into account the environmental impacts of its operations, such as the effects of hydroelectric dams on local ecosystems.

SWOT Analysis

This SWOT analysis is a strategic planning tool used to assess the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the Cemig business.

When creating this SWOT the team at Platform Executive have taken into consideration the corporate strategy; brand; key financials; the competitive landscape; along with the products and/or services offered.

To offer increased context for future innovation and product development we also consider the historical context for the business and industry; and perceived direction of travel.

Upon researching the company, we have uncovered a number of strategic and operational strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.

Strengths

Below is a list of the strengths we have identified for the business:

1. Diversified business portfolio: Cemig has a diversified business portfolio, with operations in electricity generation, transmission, distribution and trading, gas distribution and trading, and other businesses such as telecommunications, information technology, and water and sewage. This diversification reduces the company's dependence on any one business or geographical area.

2. Experienced management team: Cemig has a experienced management team with an average of over 20 years of experience in the electricity industry. This team has a strong track record of successful execution of Cemig's business strategy.

3. Strong financial position: Cemig has a strong financial position, with low leverage and strong cash flows. This provides the company with flexibility to invest in growth opportunities and to weather economic downturns.

4. Robust operational performance: Cemig has a robust operational performance, with a strong track record of safety, reliability, and efficiency. The company's operational performance is regularly recognised by industry awards.

Opportunities

Below is a list of opportunities we have identified for the business:

1. Increase renewable energy production: Cemig has the opportunity to strategically expand its renewable energy production and generation capacity, which currently stands at around 1.3 GW. This could be done by investing in hydro, wind, and solar power sources, as well as exploring other green energy sources.

This could be done by implementing stronger internal control systems and processes, as well as investing in appropriate personnel training.

Weaknesses

Below is a list of the weaknesses we have identified for the business:

1. Lack of focus: Cemig has been increasingly investing in non-core businesses in recent years, leading to a lack of focus on its core electricity generation and distribution business. This has resulted in operational inefficiencies and a decline in profitability.

2. High debt levels: Cemig has one of the highest debt levels among Brazilian utilities, with total debt of R$51.4 billion as of December 31, 2015. This high debt level increases the company’s financial risks and limits its ability to invest in its core business.

3. Dependence on coal: Cemig is heavily dependent on coal for its electricity generation, with coal accounting for 42% of its total installed capacity. This dependence exposes the company to the risk of higher coal prices and stricter environmental regulations.

4. Poor customer service: Cemig has been consistently ranked among the worst utilities in Brazil in terms of customer satisfaction. This poor customer service has led to a high number of customer complaints and a decline in customer loyalty.

Threats

Below is a list of the threats we have identified for the business:

1. Regulatory Risk: Cemig is exposed to regulatory risk due to its dependence on the Brazilian government for the development of energy laws and regulations. In addition, the company is also subject to the decisions of energy regulatory bodies in relation to the prices and conditions of the energy supply market.

2. Competition Risk: Cemig faces intense competition from other energy companies in the Brazilian market. The company is vulnerable to competitors that may offer more cost-effective energy solutions or better customer service.

3. Financial Risk: Cemig is exposed to financial risk due to its reliance on external capital markets for debt and equity financing. The company is susceptible to changes in interest rates as well as changes in the creditworthiness of its customers.

4. Operational Risk: Cemig is exposed to operational risk due to its dependence on efficient production of energy. The company is vulnerable to operational issues such as equipment malfunctions, power outages, and natural disasters. Additionally, Cemig is exposed to cybersecurity threats, which could lead to the disruption of its operations.
