Although reform of Ukraine's
electricity sector is far from complete, the experience so
far shows that ingrained attitudes are harder to change than
written rules of the game. Moreover, the reemergence of old
behavioral patterns during political, macroeconomic, or
sectoral crises can quickly undermine early gains from
reform. Thus the long time needed to achieve deep and
irreversible changes places a high premium on stamina and
patience for reformers. By contrast, and contrary to some
predictions, in Ukraine it was relatively easy to put in
place the basic systems for a functioning competitive
electricity market. Dispatch center, generation, and
distribution company employees quickly learned to work with
the new procedures and demonstrated a remarkable ability to
adapt imported solutions to local conditions. |
