Revue de I’Energie, Mar. 1995, (466), 143-149. (In French) The energy situation in the North African countries not only offers a multitude of opportunities for regional cooperation, but also for consolidating ties with the Eurouean Union.

Environmental policies and their effects on utility 95103209 planning and operations Hobbs, B. F. and Centolella, P. Energy, Apr. 1995, 20, (4), 255-271. The authors present a taxomony and analysis of public policies that address the environmental impacts of power production. The paper consists of two parts. The first is a classificatin of policy options, including command-andcontrol regulations, emission caps, taxes, marketable permits, emission adders, and environmental performance standards along with a review of recent develooments. Examoles are drawn from US institutions. but the principles invblved apply toknvironmentai regulation in any natidn. In the second part, the authors explore how various policies can affect a utility’s choice from among emission dispatch, fuel switching, and resource options. Some policies yield inefficient outcomes: i.e. strategies for which there exist alternatives that would result in both lower emissions and costs. 95103207 Europe’s gas and eiectrlcity: Where are were heading tomorrow? Ailleret, F. Revue de I’Energie, Dec. 1994, (464), 663-666. (In French) Electricitv is not like other goods. It is vital to the communitv. to its economy: and to public safetg It is part and instrument of many’iational policies, whether they be the general economic policy, industrial deveioptient, strategic energy, environmental protectioti, or land development, io name a few. In every country of the European Union, this sector is organized according to the missions of general interest assigned to it, and in line with the requirements of the transmission and distribution facilities. If a general energy policy were to be decided by the member countries, it could only be the outcome of a gradual process of converging national policies based on long-term common objectives, which could be defined as the competition among the companies, better service to the consumer, environmental preservation, and a certain level of reliability. 95/03208 Van Egmond, Flemish)

Europe will be a participant in this contest only if, aside from some economic project, it adopts a long-term stand with an ambitious and generous cal plant embracing Eastern Europe and a tie with North Africa. foiitin the European sphere, it is these regions that constitute the energy reservoirs of the European producing countries. The energy requirements will remain, consumption pressures will have their effect on prices, and Europe will need to guarantee its energy reliability. Otherwise, it will not stand up to the economic emergence of Asia. 95103217 protesslonais EnTra, Watforg

What

is ‘undue’

lor a US

Klein, C. C. UUies Policv, Oct. 1994. 4. (41, 267-272. Utilities in the USA are pro&ibited from. cha;&g prices that are unduly discriminatory, but the meaning of ‘undue’ is not clear. A review of recent court decisions reveals that regulators’ decisions are rarely overturned for this reason. The economics literature suggests that any set of prices falling between marginal cost and the unregulated monopoly price may be acceptable, but this provides little guidance for defining ‘undue’ in practice. The antitrust offence of price discrimination concerns effects on competition in a vertical chain, suggesting a growing role for vertical pricing effects in regulatory proceedings.

Energy, Mar. 1995, 20, (3), 173-187. Results of a comprehensive survey of residential sector energy use in the second largest urban centre in the Philippines are presented. A total of 603 households were interviewed regarding their energy consumption and purchase patterns, fuel-switching history, and reasons for fuel-choice seiection. LPG and fueiwood are the most widely-used cooking fuels in the residential sector, followed in importance by kerosene, charcoal and electricity. Multiple cooking fuel use IS wide-spread. Electricity is used in 93% of the city’s households, primarily for lighting and appliances. Average household electricity consumption increases 1500% between the lowest and highest income groups, Indicating that future growth in residential electricity demand could be rapid under conditions of rising living standards. 95103221 Standards tor managing dards (final draft) Management Charter Initiative, Russell Square, London WCIB 5BZ.
