Abstract
Power supply security tops the agenda of policies, and it is related to restructuring with the intention of improving efficiency. To investigate relationships between restructuring and reliability in the electricity industry of 15 OECD countries from 1987 to 2013, reliability is measured by the index of the sub-sectors (resources, generation, transmission and distribution, and electricity import), and the effects of the forms of liberalized restructuring—entry, privatization, and vertical divestiture—on sub-sectors are evaluated with the random-effect model. Results indicate that restructuring has a partially negative relationship with reliability, but the effect differs by the type of liberalization and supply sub-sectors.Keywords
