 Is There a Single European Market for Electricity
Electricity is produced and delivered in a four-stage, vertically interdependent process involving generation (the production of electrical energy), transmission (transportation of this energy along high-voltage cables), distribution (transportation at lower voltages to final customers) and retailing (advertising, branding, contract bundling and billing for final customers).
Electricity retailing has traditionally been bundled with distribution, but recent liberalization efforts have demonstrated that it is actually separable from distribution and hence competitive.

 German Electricity Market by Anne Ku at analyticalQ   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
The German electricity market is the biggest in continental Europe by number of players and generation capacity.
Germany's electricity market is huge (with annual power consumption about 550 TWh and generation capacity of 125 GW, half of which is coal fired, 17% nuclear, and 18% gas-fired - DRI Germany Report) and centrally located in the heart of Europe, with wires and pipes connected to the rest of the continent.
That 100 % of the German electricity market is open is somewhat of a misnomer if we consider the laws that favour certain types of electric generation.

 Mismeasuring Electricity Market Power
The California electricity market “melt-down” in the summer of 2000 brought with it numerous accusations of inadequate competition and analyses of the role that it may have played in creating price spikes and destabilizing the market.
Some theoretical models do suggest that electricity markets may be unusually susceptible to the exercise of market power, particularly at peak demand periods, compared to markets for other goods with similar structural characteristics.
Variation in demand, increasing average variable cost curves, and, particularly, uncertainty among generators regarding market demand and supplies from their competitors can give price-cost data patterns not unlike those some analyses use to support claims that the industry is not behaving competitively.

 Integrating Municipal Utilities into a Competitive Electricity Market   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
Yet a number of states have not yet acted to restructure their electricity markets because they fear rising prices, while in other states that have restructured, across-the-board rate cuts were part of the legislation (for example, California’s 10 percent rate cut).
In 1999, rural electric co-ops, which usually work closely with munis on public policy issues, pushed for legislation that would bar munis from using tax-exempt debt to support annexing rural co-ops as a means of expansion.
Despite the strength of the international trend in privatizing electric utilities and the improvements that privatization has brought to electricity consumers worldwide, cities in the United States have not embraced it as a method of transitioning their munis into a competitive market.
