This report focuses on the policies of electricity provision for
irrigation and the cost of groundwater-based irrigation. The
empirical ndings indicate that electricity regulation is unlikely
to ful l the expectations of an allocation-e cient tari structure
in the given political situation, leading to regulatory capture.
The report's chronological approach reveals development paths that
are also present in the current action situations. The ndings
suggest that the involved properties of transactions inherent in
the choices available to each actor are constitutive for
understanding the unfolding of each potential and the realised
development path. The economic conditions of dry-land agriculture
and the costs of food provision render a shift towards a cost-based
tari setting unlikely. The analysis at the level of electricity
distribution and agricultural production systems indicates that
although marginal costs of electricity supply are inexistent, the
costs for the consequences of poor infrastructure incur heavy
burdens on agricultural enterprises. The costs of electricity would
exceed those for each of the other input factors of production. The
absence of marginal costs has led to highly ine cient groundwater
irrigation. Fortunately, incentives in agriculture for higher power
quality are given, resulting from the high costs of pump set
burnouts through voltage uctuations. This incentive can be combined
with energy e ciency measures. E ective measures are most feasible
at the level of the electricity sub-station, isolating an
agricultural electricity feeder and the connected distribution
transformers.
