摘要：

Conventional wisdom suggests that self-generation is a high-cost and inefficient-but often unavoidable-solution to unreliable public power supply in developing countries. This article examines the power problem from the perspective of a large industrial user and its upstream supplier firms in India. It analyzes the innovative generation and power-sharing system that this firm has devised to solve both its own power problems as well as those facing some of its suppliers. This research finds not only that self-generation is economical but also that self-generation combined with power-sharing serves as a "model" that policy makers can replicate to ameliorate the power problems plaguing firms in developing countries.
