An in-depth analysis of the impact of public utility privatization
on ordinary consumers. This text traces the history of energy and
water privatization and documents the community and consumer
sectors' various attempts to influence the structure of
privatization and regulation. It provides data on the energy and
water utilities over the first period of privatization and shows
that the benefits and costs of privatization have not been shared
equally. Low income consumers have been particularly adversly
affected and the regressive outcomes of privatization have undercut
the gains that domestic comsumers have made in some areas of
service provision. Concluding with an overview of the British
experiment of energy and water privatization, the author argues
that the privatization settlements reached by successive
Conservative governments with the privatized utility companies are
seriously flawed, and that the British model of privatization is
inappropriate to the domain of essential public utility service.
