Institutional structure reform of the Cameroon electricity sector
Abstract
Cameroon’s electricity sector is undergoing significant changes. Before 1974, electricity was supplied by many different companies until they were nationalized and merged into a single, vertically integrated company that had responsibility for production, transmission, distribution and electricity retail sales. This monopolistic organization has, however, certain limitations and the national company was privatized in 2001. This article presents assessment of the hydro sector, previous and current legislation, and opportunities for private investors.

Normal distribution
In statistics, a normal distribution or Gaussian distribution is a type of continuous probability distribution for a real-valued random variable. The general form of its probability density function is The parameter is the mean or expectation of the distribution (and also its median and mode), while the parameter is its standard deviation. The variance of the distribution is . A random variable with a Gaussian distribution is said to be normally distributed, and is called a normal deviate.
