Electrical Supply Industry World Guide Book
Today, the electrical supply industry is structured with four separate functions: generation, transmission, distribution and supply (the last consisting of the marketing and sale of energy). In many countries, competition has been introduced to generation and supply, while transmission and distribution are natural monopolies since electricity must be delivered via common lines. Prevalence of privatization must also be added. The result is a mix of systems throughout the world, ranging from traditional single vertically integrated utilities to electricity supply industries with different functions operated separately and in competition. This NRG Expert guidebook outlines the electrical supply industry of 196 countries individually. Compiled from many sources over 11 years, this guidebook provides detailed information on this industry.
