Description[?]:
| Article 1; 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 guaratntee, 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. The publicly owned generators will not be directly affiliated to government, nor will they receive large amounts of capital investment from aforementioned government, but will be required to operate within the market. They will, however, in times of national crisis be returned to the control of the Ministry of Infrastructure. Article 2; In order to guarantee that the energy generated by the generation facilities included in the above article 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. |
