Electricity Restructuring: 2003 Blackout Identifies Crisis and Opportunity for the Electricity Sector
The August 14, 2003, electricity blackout--the largest in the
nation's history--affected millions of people across eight
northeastern and midwestern states as well as areas in Canada.
The blackout intensified concerns about the overall status and
security of the electricity industry at a time when the industry
is undergoing major changes and Americans have a heightened
awareness of threats to security. Because of these widespread
concerns and the broad institutional interest of the Congress, we
(1) highlighted information about the known causes and effects of
the blackout, (2) summarized themes from prior GAO reports on
electricity and security matters that provide a context for
understanding the blackout, and (3) identified some of the
potential options for resolving problems associated with these
electricity and security matters.
