Abstract

This paper describes and assesses a proposal put forward by the Dutch Department of Economic Affairs in July 1996 for structural reform of the electricity industry. First, the reasons for the reform are described. Second, the reform proposal itself is described. Its main features are the creation of a dominant generating firm by merging the four current generating firms, and free entry at the generating and distribution-service stages. Confusingly, the sector will remain structurally separated, although not in ownership. Finally, there is a critical assessment of the proposal for a dominant generating firm and deliberately voluntary dispatch, and remaining regulatory issues.
