Empowering people [Elektronisk resurs] : a governance analysis of electricity / Smita Nakhooda, Shantanu Dixit, Navroz K. Dubash.

• Delivering electricity services: the case for attention to governance -- Framing electricity governance -- The policy process: setting parameters for electricity governance -- The regulatory process: balancing stakeholders and aligning interests -- Toward better decisions: conclusions and recommendations.

• Policymakers, regulators, citizens, and the international community are grappling with the challenges of providing access to reliable and affordable electricity, and addressing major environmental challenges including climate change. The advent and rapid spread of a new "standard model" for electricity reform built around private ownership and competition, in the context of significant need for investment, have all left their mark on the electricity sector. But fundamental questions of public interests and sustainable development have not been adequately addressed. This research report makes the case for greater attention to governance of electricity -- the processes, institutions, and actors that determine how decisions are made. Good governance is necessary to address the many challenges of sustainable energy. On the whole, policy and regulation are more likely to be successful if they are carried out in the open for all to consider and scrutinize.
