This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades, many countries have embarked on structural reform programs involving private sector participation (PSP) across the entire value chain of the power sector. Often as part of a broader market oriented reform program, governments have resorted to PSP in transmission and distribution (T and D) for a variety of reasons, including to: (i) offset years of underinvestment and poor operating performance under public ownership; (ii) attract considerable private investment to fill the financing gap stemming from new T and D additions amid rapidly growing demand for electricity; and (iii) raise fiscal revenues by offloading state assets. In some cases (for example, Brazil and Peru), a prolonged electricity supply crisis prompted government into structural reforms of the T and D sector. The energy sector management assistance program (ESMAP) study covers PSP in transmission, as well as distribution. The four case-study countries, Brazil, Peru, Philippines, and Turkey were selected based on the substantial transmission story under their broader electricity PSP experience.

This book was released on 2014-10-21 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The passage of India's Electricity Act of 2003 was a signature achievement, moving the sector toward amarket-driven approach that forced potential investors to compete aggressively for generation and transmission contracts. India's 2005 National Electricity Policy recognized electricity as one of the key drivers for rapid economic growth and poverty alleviation in the country. Yet the policy's target--electricity for all and 1,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) available per capita by 2012--was not met. Despite a 20-year reform process and private-sector participation, the rate of resource augmentation and growth in energy supply has been less than the rate of increase in demand. Numerous challenges need to be addressed before India can overcome severe energy shortages and achieve its desired national policy objectives. Private Participation in the Indian Power Sector: Lessons from Two Decades of Experience examines the home-grown Indian experience with private sector participation in power, identifies emerging risks, and proposes specific actions for government consideration, so that the power sector may fulfill its important role in India's growth story. Much has been achieved, and the Indian power sector can rightfully take its placeamong the bold reformers. Yet a large agenda remains, and a more rigorous focus on implementation, particularly on last-mile reforms in the distribution sector, will be required. Close coordination among variousstakeholders and unrelenting attention to efficient execution through decentralized authority to make technical decisions, together with a robust emphasis on monitoring, evaluation, and transparent sharing of data and performance statistics, will help in achieving this objective.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication evaluates the performance of the World Bank Group (WBG) during the 1990s in promoting private sector development in the electric power sector in 80 countries. Main findings include that where countries showed a commitment to advancing reforms in promoting private sector development and where programmes were properly implemented, the expected benefits were delivered. However, quality of outcomes depended on the objectives pursued and on types of assistance provided, with most countries remaining in the early stages of reform.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This case study is part of an analytical effort aimed at advising World Bank staff and country clients on options for private sector participation (PSP) in transmission and distribution. The report is based on data collected on the Peruvian case, the review of literature, as well as on a set of interviews held with power sector agencies, including the regulator and system operator, power sector companies and experts in the field. The problems of the power sector were linked to its structure, a legal framework that guaranteed a public monopoly and the use on subsidies as a political tool to redistribute income and control inflation. The crisis justified measures in line with a thorough neoliberal economic reform that was underway. This reform included the reduction of an oversized public sector and the unbundling and privatization of the power sector. The privatization of transmission was justified on the grounds of attracting fresh capital and achieving greater efficiency. PSP in distribution was justified on the same grounds, plus another important factor, it was seen also as a way to prevent or minimize government interference on the day-to-day operations of utilities and, most important, to avoid the politicization of electricity tariffs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Development of transmission and distribution (TD) infrastructure is crucial for the power systems. Regardless of the market models and the ownership structure, they have to be adequate for the continuity of the energy flow, the reliability of the power system and the quality of the energy supply. They have to be developed in parallel with the generation expansion in order to cope with the energy demand and to provide a sustainable service to the users and consumers. In this study, PSP practices of Turkey in TD have been investigated. In this respect; a general overview and historical background has been given in section two. The structural and regulatory aspects of PSP models in TD in the past and also after the reform have been explained in section three. It should be noted that, the PSP models used before the electricity market reform are also introduced in order to give information about different models. However, emphasis is given to the implementation of the recent PSP models. Results of implementation and problems are explained in sections four, five and six. Finally, conclusions, lessons learned and recommendations are discussed in section seven.

This book was released on 1992 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This discussion paper looks at the past and potential future role of the private sector in electricity generation in developing countries. It considers the supply of electricity by the private sector as well as the role of private sector demand for electricity in total investment needs. A case for private sector involvement in the sector is made, to some extent based on evidence from the deregulation and privatization that has taken place in countries around the world. The International Finance Corporation (IFC) historical and potential role in the sector is also examined.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For multi-user PDF licensing, please contact customer service. Energy touches our lives in countless ways and its costs are felt when we fill up at the gas pump, pay our home heating bills, and keep businesses both large and small running. There are long-term costs as well: to the environment, as natural resources are depleted and pollution contributes to global climate change, and to national security and independence, as many of the world's current energy sources are increasingly concentrated in geopolitically unstable regions. The country's challenge is to develop an energy portfolio that addresses these concerns while still providing sufficient, affordable energy reserves for the nation. The United States has enormous resources to put behind solutions to this energy challenge; the dilemma is to identify which solutions are the right ones. Before deciding which energy technologies to develop, and on what timeline, we need to understand them better. America's Energy Future analyzes the potential of a wide range of technologies for generation, distribution, and conservation of energy. This book considers technologies to increase energy efficiency, coal-fired power generation, nuclear power, renewable energy, oil and natural gas, and alternative transportation fuels. It offers a detailed assessment of the associated impacts and projected costs of implementing each technology and categorizes them into three time frames for implementation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this study is to identify options, taking into account the circumstances of the Philippines, and distill lessons learned from the Philippine experience. The World Bank intends to ultimately integrate the herein findings and recommend best practices for private sector participation in TD systems and open access to TD grids in a comprehensive ESMAP report. The Philippine electricity industry has been undergoing restructuring directed and implemented in accordance with the Electric Power Industry Reform Act or EPIRA. Prior to the EPIRA, central management and control of both generation and transmission in the whole country was under the state-owned National Power Corporation (NPC). Its electricity supply came from its own power plants and from Independent Power Producers (IPPs). It had sole ownership of the transmission grid and was also responsible for central systems planning and systems operations. Electricity was supplied to end-users by franchised distribution utilities (DUs) which contracted with NPC and/or IPPs for electricity supply and with NPC for transmission of its power supply. There were also end-users not being supplied electricity by the DUs as they were 'directly connected' to the transmission grid by sub-transmission assets.

This book was released on 2019-12-05 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1990s, a new paradigm for power sector reform was put forward emphasizing the restructuring of utilities, the creation of regulators, the participation of the private sector, and the establishment of competitive power markets. Twenty-five years later, only a handful of developing countries have fully implemented these Washington Consensus policies. Across the developing world, reforms were adopted rather selectively, resulting in a hybrid model, in which elements of market orientation coexist with continued state dominance of the sector. This book aims to revisit and refresh thinking on power sector reform approaches for developing countries. The approach relies heavily on evidence from the past, drawing both on broad global trends and deep case material from 15 developing countries. It is also forward looking, considering the implications of new social and environmental policy goals, as well as the emerging technological disruptions. A nuanced picture emerges. Although regulation has been widely adopted, practice often falls well short of theory, and cost recovery remains an elusive goal. The private sector has financed a substantial expansion of generation capacity; yet, its contribution to power distribution has been much more limited, with efficiency levels that can sometimes be matched by well-governed public utilities. Restructuring and liberalization have been beneficial in a handful of larger middle-income nations but have proved too complex for most countries to implement. Based on these findings, the report points to three major policy implications. First, reform efforts need to be shaped by the political and economic context of the country. The 1990s reform model was most successful in countries that had reached certain minimum conditions of power sector development and offered a supportive political environment. Second, countries found alternative institutional pathways to achieving good power sector outcomes, making a case for greater pluralism. Among the top performers, some pursued the full set of market-oriented reforms, while others retained a more important role for the state. Third, reform efforts should be driven and tailored to desired policy outcomes and less preoccupied with following a predetermined process, particularly since the twenty-first-century century agenda has added decarbonization and universal access to power sector outcomes. The Washington Consensus reforms, while supportive of the twenty-first-century century agenda, will not be able to deliver on them alone and will require complementary policy measures

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A worldwide trend began in the 1980s in both developed & developing countries to restructure their power sectors & reform their regulatory framework. The motivation in developed countries to restructure & reform was mainly to improve sector efficiency, while in the developing countries, it was to move the sector away from reliance on scarce public resources to more private sector financing. Since the Asian Development Bank was involved in restructuring & regulatory reform in many of Asia's developing countries, this report takes stock of the progress made to date in these countries, reviews the relevant experience in some developed countries & Latin America, & identifies the key issues that could have a bearing on its operations in Asia.
