Energy market reform
Content:
Most IEA countries are liberalising their electricity markets, shifting the responsibility for financing new investment in power generation to private investors. No longer able to automatically pass on costs to consumers, and with future prices of electricity uncertain, investors face a much riskier environment for investment in electricity infrastructure. This report looks at how investors have responded to the need to internalise investment risk in power generation. While capital and total costs remain the parameters shaping investment choices, the value of technologies which can be installed quickly and operated flexibly is increasingly appreciated.
Note:
This book has benefited greatly from the papers presented at an IEA/NEA workshop, "Power Generation Investment in Liberalised Electricity Markets" held at the IEA on 25 - 26 March 2003
