"This book represents a breakthrough. . . . The combination of clear writing and the hands-on assistance of practicing regulators from the six countries provide an invaluable contribution to our understanding of how regulation, economics, and politics come together in Africa’s electricity sectors." —Dr. Bernard Tenenbaum, former lead energy specialist, World Bank
