Description
A group of 32 experts from 12 countries convened in 1990 to discuss electricity supply and demand. A major concern was the effect of electricity shortages. Their discussions, arguments, and conclusions are reported in this volume. Topics include energy conservation, electricity in developing countries, the importance of integrated planning, and the need for energy research and development.
