Electricity Market Reforms: Economics and Policy Challenges
Springer; 1st Edition. edition (October 21, 2010) | ISBN: 1441956115 | 252 pages | PDF | 3 MB
With the global demand for energy skyrocketing, over the past twenty
years many countries have restructured their electric power industries,
typically moving from a regulated monopoly to a competitive market
structure. The results of these reforms vary significantly from country
to country depending on the market organization model and national
conditions. This book examines the restructuring in both developed and
developing nations, with particular focus on the United States, Great
Britain, China, and Russia, and addresses the problems arising from
these transitions. The book also contains a comprehensive analysis of
different electricity market models and their compatibility with the
properties of electric power systems and country conditions. As the most
thorough and up to date analysis of the theory and practical experience
of electricity deregulation, this book is a must-read for academics,
students and researchers with an interest in electric power industry
restructuring. It also has direct relevance for engineers, regulators
and other decision makers in companies and governmental agencies
concerned with energy issues.
