ABSTRACT
In the previous chapters, we have shown that: • energy has been and remains one of the main development factors. Even if specific
consumptions are reduced today compared to the past, the economic activity and meeting socio-economic needs require a lot of energy;
• the energy sector is rigid, implementation delays of projects being very long (5 to 10 years minimum);
• the very high amount of needed investment and energy distribution constraints, especially in the case of electricity and gas, require in many cases an oligopolistic or monopolistic structure.
