The Multi-Utility Deregulation Report consists of 3 volumes – Electricity deregulation, Gas deregulation and Water & Waste deregulation.

We note how electricity, gas, and water and waste market liberalisation and privatisation are pushing ahead and that despite some failure and growing opposition, the overall direction is towards market liberalisation. Deregulation and privatisation in the electricity, gas and water and waste sectors has now reached a stage when it is possible to see patterns and learn from experience. The Multi utility deregulation report explores the successes and failures of deregulation in all these sectors.

Key findings within the Multi utility deregulation report are that the momentum towards liberalisation of the electricity and gas supply industries continues around the world but that progress is varied. The North American electricity and gas markets are partially deregulated, the EU is moving systematically in a co-ordinated manner towards market deregulation and other markets are developing new structures on an individual country basis.

We provide evidence that suggests that multi utility deregulation does not work as effectively in small markets, and demonstrate how the privatisation of water utilities is totally different from the energy utilities. The Multi utility deregulation report details the increased number of privatisations of the water utilities which have taken place as well as the increasing number of privatisation reversals and withdrawals.

The Multi-Utility Deregulation Report allows you to predict developments by looking at past outcomes and to predict dangerous pitfalls as well as to look at opportunities for acquisitions or management concessions within the multi utility markets of the world.

Also available with the Multi utility deregulation report is a comprehensive list of  global regulators.
