Power Sector Reform Tracker (PSRT)

This archive contains the first edition of the Power Sector Reform Tracker (PSRT). Created by the Initiative for Sustainable Energy Policy (ISEP), the database includes data for 142 non-OECD countries on eight types of power sector reforms: liberalization law, corporatization, independent regulatory agency, independent power producers, unbundling, privatization, wholesale electricity markets, and choice of supplier. The database covers years 1982-2013. The archive also contains a replication package for the analysis presented in Urpelainen and Yang (forthcoming).
