The Electricity Governance Toolkit

Benchmarking Best Practice and Promoting Accountability in the Electricity Sector

The Toolkit consists of more than 60 indicators that address policy and regulatory processes in the electricity sector, with an emphasis on social and environmental issues. The toolkit is the product of an extensive external review process in 2004, and was pilot tested in Thailand, India, Indonesia, and the Philippines in 2005. This 2007 version of the toolkit has undergone significant revisions to reflect lessons learned from the pilot phase of assessments and additional expert input collected.

New Approaches to Electricity Governance

The paper “New Approaches to Electricity Governance” by Smita Nakhooda considers the particular challenges of governing the power sector in Asia, with an emphasis on the role of civil society in arranging processes, institutions, actors and incentives to align investment with sustainable development.

It draws on the research and ongoing advocacy efforts of the Electricity Governance Initiative (EGI) using recent cases and narratives from the EGI experience in Thailand, India, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Drawing on these illustrative examples, the paper provides an empirical basis to consider three themes: power sector planning; electricity regulation; and the implications of regional integration. The analysis highlights issues of institutional capacity, public participation, transparency, and accountability that will need to be addressed in order to meet the many challenges of sustainable development in Asia’s power sector.
