| Message | "a) removed government from "control" of the power grid sphere with Second Reform Act - to allow private companies enter and represent it" - No, the Second Reform Act allows private companies to control energy generation, this act allows a private company to maintain the POWER GRID. "b) with current act turn private companIES into single private company?"- I don't think I understand. WE believe that the power grid should be owned by one single united private company instead of multiple ones, as this may create arguments within the sector and threaten the industry. And it simplifies it for those involved A LOT. "c) how SINGLE governmental company differs from SINGLE private company? The money instead of governmental sector are flowing in hands of few lucky individuals?" - I think most of you are quite aware of how we feel about this. The private sector can achieve efficiency, quality and good prices which are beyond the reach of the public sector, and stimulate a free economy at the same time. As I said, this has already been discussed in the Second Reform Act discussion. |
