Power entrepreneurs step in to keep Baghdad humming

BAGHDAD — Some people never complain about Baghdad's daily power outages.

Wathiq Hassoun, 31, is one of a number of entrepreneurs who operate large generators and sell electricity to entire neighborhoods. "It's a great business," says Hassoun, who started his career shortly after the U.S.-led invasion in 2003. His profits have allowed him to buy two houses, one of which he rents out. here

Ya, but india you can do that only illegally.

Suppose there is a huge complex, with several buildings - and it decides to have a captive power plant, it can distribute it to buildings only on the same side of the road. The private power cables arent allowed to cross the road!
