The energy sector, especially the power industry is one of the most important and strategic industries
in every country. Therefore, the public policy in the power industry is of great importance. By
adopting privatization policies in this industry, while attracting private sector investments,
governments will be able to reduce public expenses by increasing the influential role of people in this
area. Construction or even management of large power plants is not desirable for the private sector
due to the large volume of investment required and the operational and technical complexities.
Public policy in support of widely distributed production of electricity and the development of small scale
generators has a lot of utility for the private sector due to its various advantages and quick
return of investment. It may play an effective role in attracting private sector investments to the
power industry.
