	Electricity generation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Electricity generation is the first process in the delivery of electricity to consumers.
		The importance of dependable electricity generation, transmission and distribution was revealed when it became apparent that electricity was useful for providing heat, light and power for human activities.
		Electricity reform around the world is de-coupling electricity generation from the regulated monopoly elements of transmission and electricity distribution; see electricity market.

	Electricity retailing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Electricity retailing is the final process in the delivery of electric power from generation to the consumer.
		Electricity retailing began at the end of the 19th century when the bodies who generated electricity for their own use made supply available to third parties.
		Electricity retailing in the period from approximately 1890 to 1990 consisted of managing the connection, disconnection and billing of electricity consumers by the local monopoly supplier.

	Electric power (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Electric power, often known as power or electricity, involves the production and delivery of electrical energy in sufficient quantities to operate domestic appliances, office equipment, industrialmachinery and provide sufficient energy for both domestic and commercial lighting, heating, cooking and industrial processes.
		Although electricity had been known to be produced as a result of the chemical reactions that take place in an electrolyticcell since Alessandro Volta reported doing so in 1800, its production by this means was, and still is, expensive.
		In some countries, wholesale electricity markets operate, with generators and retailers trading electricity in a similar manner to shares and currency.

		Electricity retailers are required to inform consumers of both the contract rate and the new pricing an eligible consumer would pay without a contract.
		Check the contract you have signed with the original retailer as it is a legally binding agreement and there may be penalties associated with cancelling prior to the end-date specified in the contract.
		Electricity retailers must be licensed by the Ontario Energy Board and must follow a code of conduct set out by the Board.

		Wind generators use wind to turn turbines that are hooked up to a generator.
		Heated steam turns a turbine, and then excess heat is distributed through a district energy system[?] for space heating in buildings, industrial processes or green house heat.
		Electricity reform around the world is de-coupling electricity generation from the regulated natural monopoly elements of transmission and electricity distribution (see for example New Zealand Electricity Market).

	Electricity Industry Restructuring: The State of Play (Research Paper 14 1997-98)
		Each of the states has restructured their electricity authorities since the early 1990s and although they are all at different stages in the restructuring process, the thrust of the process has involved the separation of single entity vertically integrated monopolistic authorities into electricity generation, transmission, distribution and retailing components.
		Generators and retailers now trade electricity in a competitive wholesale market (NEM1) as contestability (the right of the electricity consumer to choose their electricity retailer) is phased in over time, while transmitters and distributors charge regulated tariffs for transporting the electricity to customers.
		Electricity prices (Australian averages) have declined appreciably over the period 1992 to 1997 during the period of the implementation of electricity restructuring and the development of the NEM from May 1994.

		Southpower Southpower’s first attempt to sell its retail business, after it became clear the electricity reforms were inevitable, was to sell it to a company which would be the country’s biggest energy retailer, and which would still be local government controlled.
		The Institute warned that any falls in retail electricity prices would not impact greatly on the cost of living, so the main benefits may instead be in standards of service, and flexibility in billing options and methods.
		The purchase by the generators of retail market share must therefore be seen both as a means to speed the privatisation of the electricity market and to discredit the remaining state-owned generators to provide an excuse for their privatisation.

	Issues Arising at Ministry's Forum on Amendments to the Electricity (Information Disclosure) Regulations
		Where incumbent companies entered into conveyance agreements with competing retailers, the implication of allocating the majority of customer service and billing activities to the electricity retailing business is that it would be the incumbent's electricity retailing business, rather than its line business, which would bill final customers for line charges.
		In addition, line and electricity retailing businesses which are part of the same company can be expected to have identical incentives, and allocation to the line business would not therefore remove concerns about access to meters.
		electricity retailers would collect line charges on behalf of the line business (that is, act as an agent for the line business) in which case final customers would be line charge trade debtors in the line business's accounts.

	List of Amendments to Electricity (Information Disclosure) Regulations and ODV Handbook
		As some electricity retailing customers are currently not contestable (for example, domestic customers), companies also have potential to overcharge their electricity retailing customers.

		Each electric utility shall conduct its operations so that the utility obtains an amount of electricity derived from renewable energy resources that is equal to at least fifty percent of new electricity sold by the utility as provided in this section.
		The baseline upon which an electric utility's new energy use is determined is the average annual kilowatt hours sold by the utility during the years 2003, 2004, and 2005.
		To the extent that the ability of an electric utility to acquire electricity derived from renewable energy resources is limited by a requirements contract with a wholesale electric supplier, the electric utility shall acquire the maximum amount allowed by the contract.

		The retailing of electric power by new-entry suppliers is to be monitored three years after the implementation.
		However, if a similar case happens to, say, Hokuriku Electric Power, whose generation scale is one tenth of that of Tokyo Electric Power, a loss of electric power source matching the volume one small-size atomic power generator can produce would have caused a situation that might have shaken the management base of the company.
		General Sekiyu's case has raised a question: "Is it necessary to liberalize the retailing of electricity at the cost of a possible stoppage of electric power?" What makes the issue more complex is that the withdrawal of General Sekiyu has raised a question of whether it was a simply environmental problem.

	Retailing Report
		According to MacDonald, the retailing of residential electricity, a concept embraced within the broader deregulation of the industry, is increasingly the subject of acrimonious and politically heated debate.
		While retail electricity has not received as much recent regulatory scrutiny as regional transmission, standard market design, market power mitigation and management of the spot market, it has continued to be front-page news in many jurisdictions.
		A question of importance to those working in the retail side of the electricity business is whether, in fact, the benefits of deregulation will be there for residential customers.

	CommentWire by Datamonitor - UK utilities: beware of multi-tasking (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Electric utilities should proceed with caution given that there is no evidence of any great synergy between UK gas and electricity distribution and avoid the trap of diversification for its own sake.
		There could be several answers: the desire to diversify, the perception that gas distribution has been given an easier regulatory ride than electricity distribution, or the convergence of gas and electricity retailing.
		It may be possible for a multi-utility distribution operator to improve on this performance, but this strategy brings a significant risk to the relatively safe world of UK regulated network assets.

		The winds of change began to blow through the New Zealand electricity sector in 1987, when the generation and transmission department of the national government was corporatised.
		Dunedin Electricity and United Electricity presented Government with a blueprint for retail competition.
		NZ's largest electricity retailer National Gas Corporation (which had purchased the electricity retail business when Canada's Trans Alta quit New Zealand, had recently re-branded itself OnEnergy [sic] to escape the bad reputation its service had given the Trans Alta brand, and which had comparatively negligible generation and was inadequately hedged) attempted to raise retail prices.

		The amount of power used by the domestic consumer, and thus the amount charged, is measured through an electric meter that is usually placed near the input of a home to provide easy access to the meter reader.
		Customers are usually charged a monthly service fee and additional charges accrue to the number of kWh (kilowatt hours) that are consumed by the household or business during the month.
		Commercial and industrial consumers normally have more complex pricing schemes and meters that measure the enegy usage in time intervals to impose demand charges.

		The ministry decided to map out the guidelines jointly with the Fair Trade Commission as there have been some cases in which electric utilities apparently blocked new entrants into the industry after the government partially liberalized electricity retailing in March 2000, the officials said.
		The guidelines will clarify rules in cases where an electric utility and a newcomer jointly supply electricity to the same user, in order to prevent disputes between the two parties.
		The guidelines will also make it clear that electric utilities will be violating the Antimonopoly Law if they demand unfairly high compensation from users for breaking contracts to sign up with new entrants.
