Abstract

The increasing complexity of emerging business models and a growing societal concern with the integrity of financial reporting now leads to new emphases on accountability within large, publicly traded energy corporations. This book emphasizes the implications these issues have in the electric industry, a traditional infrastructure that underlies the digital society and now faces extraordinary environmental, regulatory, and technological uncertainties.· Informs professionals in a variety of fields of the best current thinking on business risk-how it can be understood, how it can

Abstract

Since the late 1980s, policy makers and regulators in a number of countries have liberalized, restructured or "deregulated? their electric power sector, typically by introducing competition at the generation and retail level. These experiments have resulted in vastly different outcomes - some highly encouraging, others utterly disastrous. However, many countries continue along the same path for a variety of reasons. This book examines the most important competitive electricity markets around the world and provides definitive answers as to why some markets have performed admirably, whil

Abstract

Electricity Information provides a comprehensive review of historical and current market trends in the OECD electricity sector, including 2005 preliminary data. This reference document brings together in one volume essential statistics on electricity and heat. It therefore provides a strong foundation for policy and market analysis, which in turn can better inform the policy decision process toward selecting policy instruments best suited to meet domestic and international objectives. Part I of the publication provides a statistical overview of developments in the electricity and heat market.

Abstract

This paper proposes a general framework for monitoring macro-critical energy sectors in low-income countries, defined as consisting of the three subsectors of crude oil and natural gas production, refinery, and electricity production. It aims to derive consistent information on physical and financial flows in the sector, including on interlinkages between the subsectors. It then applies this framework to Côte d'Ivoire. While being an important source of growth, the Ivoirien energy sector is found to have important shortcomings, in particular as regards transparency, efficiency and contribution to fiscal revenue. Among the key problems are partially intransparent production sharing arrangements for hydrocarbon production, price distortions for natural gas, administered prices for refined petroleum products, underfunding and lack of investment in the electricity sector, and inefficient government subsidies in the latter two subsectors.

Abstract

This paper explores ways to unlock the potential for regional development and economic cooperation in the wider Central Asia region. It argues that understanding critical clusters of interrelated issues, and explicitly taking into account geopolitical and political economy considerations, are key in this regard. Regional countries and other stakeholders should focus on a few areas where there are real prospects for success in the short run; a combination of modest "win-win" initiatives and in some cases "bold strokes" that augment and change the distribution of benefits and hence make cooperat

Abstract

More than 200 new infrastructure regulators have been created around the world in the last 15 years. They were established to encourage clear and sustainable long-term economic and legal commitments by governments and investors to encourage new investment to benefit existing and new customers. There is now considerable evidence that both investors and consumers-the two groups that were supposed to have benefited from these new regulatory systems-have often been disappointed with their performance. The fundamental premise of this book is that regulatory systems can be successfully reformed only

Abstract

L’examen de la Russie adopte une démarche pluridisciplinaire et porte sur le contexte économique général de la réforme de la réglementation, la capacité des pouvoirs publics à gérer la réforme de la réglementation, la politique de la concurrence et sa mise en œuvre effective, ainsi que l’ouverture des marchés. Cet examen traite aussi du cadre réglementaire sectoriel de l’électricité et du transport ferroviaire. Cette étude mesure les résultats obtenus en Russie au regard d’un certain nombre d’instruments de l'OCDE. Cependant, l’examen a été ajusté pour tenir compte des problèmes particuliers que la réglementation pose aux autorités russes. Ces recommandations devraient aider grandement les autorités russes à organiser et à mettre en œuvre les réformes de la réglementation pour stimuler la croissance économique, la création d'emplois, l’innovation et l’investissement. L’examen devrait aussi aider les autorités à élaborer une stratégie globale de réforme de la réglementation plutôt qu’une stratégie au coup par coup afin d’engendrer des résultats plus rapidement. Il montre l'importance de la réorganisation administrative pour la stratégie gouvernementale de développement économique.
