Abstract: Attitudes towards the proper form of organisation and regulation of the electricity sector have shifted several times over the past two decades. These shifts include a wave of liberalisation that encompassed many regions of the world, and more recently a backlash against many of these policies. Drawing largely from the U.S. experience, this talk discusses the political economy of electricity restructuring and explores the economic arguments for and against liberalisation.
