Supplier power is particularly relevant where gas volumes depend on national oil companies, LNG importers or other upstream counterparties. Buyer power can be considered through customer alternatives, service expectations and tariff sensitivity, while concession rights and safety requirements may shape entry barriers. Substitutes should be assessed as other ways customers can meet heating, cooking or energy needs, including electrification and alternative fuels, rather than simply as another gas distributor.

Economic analysis can consider demand conditions, funding costs and upstream gas-price exposure. Social factors include customer expectations for dependable and safe service, while technology may change network monitoring, efficiency and competing energy choices.
