6 Wrap-up Debate |

Has the liberalization of network-energy markets
served the consumer? Which consumer? In what terms?
The most dramatic regulatory development in the advanced economies
has been and remains the liberalization of network energy markets
for electricity and gas. To conclude its formal deliberations, the
Forum has brought together distinguished panelists under the chairmanship
of one of the leading American champions of market liberalization.
Expect to get answers to tough questions. Who has benefited from
liberalization? How can we know? If it's the consumer, which consumer?
Are there gains and can they continue? Is liberalization the correct
prescription for most market illness?
