While the objectives of a restructured power company for delivering electricity to end-customers are perceived to remain the same in electricity markets, new types of unbundling, coordination, and rules are required to guarantee a sound competition among market participants and non-discriminatory open access to transmission users. This presentation will discuss electricity restructuring issues such as Why is the restructuring necessary? How is the restructuring being implemented? Who will maintain the control of transmission grid? What type of competition is necessary for a reasonable operation of electricity markets?
