Abstract

In November 1995 the Government of the Province of Ontario (Canada) created an independent committee, the Macdonald Committee, to analyse Ontario's electricity industry and provide proposals for a transition to a competitive market. We present an overview and analysis of the proposals. We conclude that two principles are key to the success of the restructuring initiative: vertical separation of generation and transmission, and robust competition in generation.
