[en] In this paper we discuss some of the special features of electricity that should be taken into account when assessing investment incentives, giving special emphasis to the role played by firms strategic behaviour. Furthermore, we assess the potential for some regulatory instruments to induce firms to undertake the efficient investments in the marketplace. In particular, some of the questions that this paper discusses are the following: Is the market alone the best mechanism to induce the right investment levels? How does the public good nature of security of supply interact with the provision of generation capacity? Are there regulatory measures to improve investment choices, reducing both the risk of blackouts as well as inefficient over investment?. (Author). 12 refs

[en] Prospects for the development of small and medium power reactors were reviewed at a symposium attended by more than 150 participants from 35 countries and five international organizations, held in Oslo in mid-October. Discussion centred on the current technical and economic status of reactors having an output of more than about 500 MWe, which might find application in the comparatively small electricity supply grids which are generally associated with areas where industrialization is not very far advanced.
