People and Power : Electricity Sector Reforms and the Poor in Europe and Central Asia, Paperback / softback Book

People and Power : Electricity Sector Reforms and the Poor in Europe and Central Asia Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Empirical insights on household behavior and electricity consumption patterns in this book reveal that, in Europe and Central Asia, the erosion of tariff based subsidies has disproportionately affected the poor, while direct transfers through social benefit systems have often been inadequately targeted.

The book suggests alternative strategies for achieving cost-recovery in the electricity sector in a socially and politically acceptable manner, providing lessons that are equally relevant for other utilities and regions.
