Abstract: Being able to monitor and assess technological developments represents an essential activity for an industry expected to be increasingly active in all of the regions of the world and in markets which require a wide array of differing technological configurations. This paper outlines the methodological approach used to monitor new technological developments in the electricity industry and presents the results of a DELPHI survey conducted among a panel of international experts.

Keywords: DELPHI survey; electricity industry; technological monitoring; technology development; energy technology.
