View Information on the Electricity Supply Industry (ESI) in Several Countries Including Tunisia, Slovakia and India.

DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c43642) has announced the addition of "ESI Ed 12 2006 Report" to their offering.

In compiling ESI 2006 Ed 12, we have built up a database of information about the electricity supply industry in every country over the last 15 years. In the early years this database reflected a traditionally integrated industry, much of it state-owned. We classified the utilities as generators, transmission companies or distributors. In many countries there were vertically integrated utilities performing all three functions, often with only one company serving an entire nation.

In 2006 the electricity supply industry is structured as a business rather than a public service supplier, with four separate functions; generation, transmission, distribution, supply, the last consisting of the marketing and sales of energy. In many countries competition has been introduced to generation and supply, while transmission and distribution are natural monopolies, since the electricity has to be delivered physically via the same wires. Privatisation continues and this edition charts further unbundling in the industry. The result is a mix of systems throughout the world, ranging from traditional single vertically integrated utilities serving an entire country, to Electricity Supply Industries with all functions operating as separate businesses and in competition.

ESI 2006 is a report designed to outline the ESI clearly and concisely in every country.
