Summary:<span lang="EN-GB">Sources of competitive advantage of companies from the power sector involve primarily strategic material resources such as generation assets, accessibility of fuels and raw materials, distribution networks, staff’s competencies as well as their expertise, innovation, entrepreneurship, and reputation.

Seeking sources of competitiveness in one advantage, be it cost or quality, does guarantee success.</span>
