By reviewing the causes of and responses to power shortages in Chile, China, California, the Dominican Republic, Japan, and particularly Brazil, this report analyzes ways in which governments, utilities, consumers, and other stakeholders can deal with the multifaceted aspects of power rationing. This report highlights the case of Brazil as one of the best international practices. Chapter 2 lays the groundwork for dealing with rationing and distinguishes between three types of power shortages as a basis for formulating effective solutions. Chapters 3 and 4 examine case studies in which power shortages have led to different rationing responses. Chapter 5 details technological, financial, social, and other factors distinguishing each rationing episode. Chapter 6 compares quotas based on price signals with rolling blackouts. Chapter 7 presents a simple rationing scheme based on energy quotas assigned to individual customers. Finally, chapter 8 offers 12 lessons about implementing power rationing and demand response in a sensible way. 2014-04-25T19:05:26Z 2014-04-25T19:05:26Z 2005-08 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2005/08/6280144/implementing-power-rationing-sensible-way-lessons-learned-international-best-practices http://hdl.handle.net/10986/18066 English en_US Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP) technical paper series;ESM 305/05 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: ESMAP Paper Publications & Research East Asia and Pacific Latin America & Caribbean Brazil Chile China Dominican Republic Japan
