Abstract

The power sector in Madagascar was governed by the provisions of Ordinance 74-002 which gave the State the exclusive rights in this sector. The State, in turn, conferred these rights to the national water and electricity service (JIRAMA) since 1975, which operated almost all generation, transmission and distribution of electricity in the country. This law authorises the participation of private operators through the award of concessions or permits
