Abstract
Electric utilities throughout the world continue to face new challenges involving ownership, market structure, and regulation. The papers included in this volume bear directly on three related issues: (1) Should ownership be private or public? (2) What operations should be integrated, and where is competition feasible? (3) Where is regulation necessary, and can it be made more efficient?
