Summary

Internationally the electricity energy industry has pursued common objectives regarding open market structures. These market objectives are:

  • (i) increasing competition for the generation segment;
  • (ii) enhancing private investments for expansion;
  • (iii) providing transmission open access;
  • (iv) responding to new regulations and operational schemes;
  • and (v) providing freedom of choice for consumer segment.

These objectives are being implemented differently for the wholesale and retail segments, and there remains a need to develop better processes to foster expanded access to and use of demand response.
