Industry and Innovation, 1997, vol. 4, issue 2, 247-258

Abstract: The electric power industry in Taiwan has been operated through a public-owned monopoly, Taipower, for the past 50 years. Growing economic strength and diversity, and power shortages at peak load times, have led the government to deregulate the industry-involving the opening of the grid to private power suppliers, promotion of cogeneration, and extensive revision of the Electricity Act. The early results of this deregulatory experience arc analyzed, and lessons drawn for other countries.
