The writing of this book was largely motivated by the ongoing
unprecedented world-wide restructuring of the power industry. This
move away from the traditional monopolies and toward greater
competition, in the form of increased numbers of independent power
producers and an unbundling of the main services that were until
now provided by the utilities, has been building up for over a
decade. This change was driven by the large disparities in
electricity tariffs across regions, by technological developments
that make it possible for small producers to compete with large
ones, and by a widely held belief that competition will be
beneficial in a broad sense. All of this together with the
political will to push through the necessary legislative reforms
has created a climate conducive to restructuring in the electric
power industry. Consequently, since the beginning of this decade
dramatic changes have taken place in an ever-increasing list of
nations, from the pioneering moves in the United Kingdom, Chile and
Scandinavia, to today's highly fluid power industry throughout
North and South America, as well as in the European Community. The
drive to restructure and take advantage of the potential economic
benefits has, in our view, forced the industry to take actions and
make choices at a hurried pace, without the usual deliberation and
thorough analysis of possible implications. We must admit that to
speak of "the industry" at this juncture is perhaps disingenuous,
even misleading.
