Details

Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: August 2764
Description[?]:
| Article 1 In order to guarantee that the energy generated by the generation facilities is forwarded to the energy consumer suppliers in a cost effective and service guaranteed way, the National Grid will be operated by a publicly owned company. This company can guarantee infrastructural safety and service quality more readily than the Private company due to its ability not to have any requirement to return high levels of profits to its investors and shareholders. The company will operate in such a way so as to provide the infrastructure and energy delivery services at, or just above, cost so as to allow the largest freedom for energy consumer suppliers to guarantee the lowest possible charges to the consumer. Article 2 WHILST accepting that the allowance of competing organisations in the provision of energy production can, in a limited form, help to decrease certain costs, whilst also accepting that private organisations cannot guarantee, at all times, the provision of energy supply, the Government will allow the production of energy to be carried out by both Publicly owned generation facilities and privately owned generation facilities in order to guarantee supply of energy at all times whilst maintaining low costs to the public sector. The publicly owned generators will not be directly affiliated to government, nor will they receive large amounts of capital investment from aforementioned government, rather they will be owned and operated by a publicly supported company whilst being required to operate within the market. They will, however, in times of national crisis be returned to the control of the Ministry of Infrastructure. |

| Random fact: Players have a responsibility to differentiate between OOC (out-of-character) and IC (in-character) behaviour, and to make clear when they are communicating in OOC or IC terms. Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
