Abstract

Several countries worldwide are implementing reform and restructuring in the electricity supply industry. The operating environments of utilities differ considerably between developed and developing countries. By taking the case of Orissa State Electricity Board, this article highlights the key features in implementation of restructuring in a developing country environment, namely, the different phases in the reform programme; the role of government, top management, lending agencies and consultants; organizational set up for reform implementation; and contextual specificity of the reform programme.
