More than twenty countries are now
reforming their power sectors. For many politicians, this
reform means simply restructuring and privatizing
state-owned enterprises. But, what they forget or may not
know is that a government cannot regulate private power
companies the way it once regulated state enterprises. The
author argues that if a government is serious about
attracting private investors, it has no choice but to adopt
a new regulatory system that keeps promises and exercises
restraint-one that is independent and open to public scrutiny. |
