Review: This book focuses on two essential elements of the electricity business: the basic regulatory/competitive structure and the corporate investment strategy. Here the author has two guiding themes. First, that certain business principles and practices need to be adopted for the electric sector to survive and prosper; and second, that there are five fundamental megatrends that have, and will continue to, shape the future of the business. These megatrends are: business model evolution; the ageing workforce and the boomer effect; carbon constraints and capacity challenges; intelligent infrastructure; and customer experience. This book examines these megatrends and suggests many investment opportunities that can propel a company forward when planned and executed through a balanced corporate strategy of investment.
