This is the 8th edition of the ABS Electricity Deregulation Report. The report outlines the status of market liberalisation and privatisation in all countries and summarises this in a table compiled from a global survey. Deregulation and privatisation are now reaching a stage when it is possible to discern some patterns and factors emerging, based on experience rather than hypothesis about what ought to happen. Some of the outcomes are good and some are not, and liberalisation has advocates and critics. Liberalisation has proceeded at varying paces in different regions and countries, the most systematic regional development being in the EU. The EU Commission has monitored the situation closely and detected infringements and failings which have been reported in detail. Some of these have been serious and some of the big players will be the subject of legal actions. These are a useful guideline to all countries in planning their own systems of liberalisation.
Market opening is leading to a greater convergence between gas and electricity and in some countries electricity utilities are increasingly active in gas markets and vice versa. Many lessons are being learned. Early forays into new business are being reversed and companies are now withdrawing from non-core business, both in terms of market segment and geographical region. The report discusses a number of important issues such as the size of the national market, market concentration, the effect of inadequate unbundling, the extent of reintegration into vertically integrated organisations to compensate for a lack of market liquidity, the need for effective TPA, the reality of active choice as against its theoretical extent, the need for spot market liquidity.

Also available with the Electricity Deregulation Report is a comprehensive directory of global electricity regulators including – country, region, regulator name, address, tel, fax and email (where available).
