Electricity liberalization refers to the liberalization of electricity market s. As electricity supply is a natural monopoly , this entails complex and costly systems of regulation to enforce a system of competition . The standard model for electricity liberalization is the British model , after the British system which began in the late 1980s with the privatization and vertical de integration of the United Kingdom UK electricity industry. At a cost of over 3bn, a system of competition was developed to auction spare capacity through a central system. The risks involved for both Electricity generation generators and Electricitydistribution distributors have led to vertical re integration. Liberalization of electricity tends to substantially benefit large consumers mainly industrial users , but benefits for domestic consumers compared with a public monopoly or a regulated private monopoly are questionable. There are also doubts over whether the system can ensure long term security of supply through providing sufficient incentives to begin building generation capacity in time for when it is needed. In the European Union , electricity markets are governed by a Europe wide European Union directive directive on liberalization. In 2003, the European Commission introduced a new Internal Market in Electricity Directive Electricity Directive EC 2003 54 EC with much stronger requirements on competition.
