The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Privatising Network Industries (2004, background): “…are few and far between, as Pollitt (1997) notes, and are also restricted to a relatively short time period.14 The major concerns are that on the one hand, reforms have frequently failed to address issues of market power (Newbery, 2002b), and on the other hand competition may not be sustainable.”
Electricity sector reform in developing countries : a survey of empirical evidence on determinants and performance (2005, unknown): “In developing and transition countries the burden of subsidies, low service quality, noncollection rates, high network losses and poor service coverage have meant that many governments are no longer willing or able to support the existing arrangements (Newbery, 2002a; Joskow, 1998).”
Electricity markets around the world (2018, background): “A good overview of the development in the United States is given by Joskow (2006), and information on the development in the European Union can be found in, e.g., Newbery (2002).”
Carbon Tax or Carbon Permits: The Impact on Generators’ Risks (2008, unknown): “A company selling to captive customers would also be a natural counter-party for the electricity contract, but liberalisation may have deterred electricity retailers who might lose their customers from taking on such commitments (Newbery, 2002).”
