Electric power: Foreign direct investment and corporate strategies in the Southern Cone

Energy consumption has surged in the last few years, especially in developing countries. Electricity has played a particularly significant role in this trend, owing to changes in patterns of consumption and economic growth. In the 1980s, combined-cycle technology made it possible to generate electricity from natural gas, making gas an increasingly sought-after input for generation. In general, these developments have prompted firms to alter their corporate strategies and to show a growing interest in integrating the natural gas and electricity subsectors.
