What is it about?

Electricity industry has been changed from public utility to private business. We analysed that change and how the changes were influence by utilities ties to the government. We discovered that utilities' ties to the government influence changes in the industry. If the ties are weak there are more changes and for example, wind energy and solar power were deployed more than if ties are strong.

Why is it important?

The development and deployment of renewable power generation has been slow. It is important to investigate how large utilities are able to slow down changes in the industry

Perspectives

Size matters in energy. Big utilities with strong links to government = little change.
