Abstract
There is a trend in numerous countries, in both the industrialised and developing parts of the world, toward deregulation in the electricity sector. This trend makes it increasingly unlikely that electricity suppliers in these countries will adopt energy-efficiency programs similar to those sponsored by the regulated North American utilities during the past two decades.
