Originally published in 1996, this book is an exploration and
analysis of the electricity industry in the context of uncertainty
following the energy crisis of the 1970s and concern over the
greenhouse effect. Few industries demand a similar level of
foresight and planning, or such vast amounts of capital. The book
examines five well-known Australian, Canadian and New Zealand cases
and closely analyses the ways in which various agencies have sought
ends to serve the means at their disposal. Electricity has long
been regarded as a natural monopoly, but questions of
privatisation, regulation and government control are increasingly
prevalent. The book explores these issues and also notes the
experiences of other countries in its analysis of institutional
reform. Aynsley Kellow argues for different approaches to
electricity planning, which offer much by way of economic savings
and minimisation of environmental problems.
