Summary
All figures for Albania were provided by Luciano Segreto.
Mira Wilkins and Harm Schröter educated guess.
Schröter educated guess.
For electric power generation, complete public ownership was established in 1947. Peter Eigner, “The Ownership of Austria's Big Business, 1895–1995,” in Margarita Dritsas and Terry Gourvish, eds., European Enterprise (Athens: Trochalia Publications, 1997), 57.

This estimate is based on data for 1909 from Ivan T. Berend and György Ránki, Economic Development in East-Central Europe in the 19th and 20th Centuries (New York: Columbia University Press, 1974), 143.
The figure is based on the proportion of foreign direct investment in electric utilities for 1936 from R. Nötel, “International Credit and Finance,” in M. C. Kaser and E. A. Radice, eds., The Economic History of Eastern Europe, 1919–1975 (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1985), II, 282.
We can find no evidence that any of the electric utilities in the part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire that became Czechoslovakia were foreign-owned. For a history of electric utilities in Prague, see http://muzeum.pre.cz/eng/hist/uvod.php, accessed Jan. 9, 2006.
By 1928–1932, Indelec had made investments in at least one Czech electric utility (in Podmokly), but we are uncertain about control. See notes to Chapter 4 herein. By 1934, 67 percent of Czechoslovakia's electric utilities were government owned. J. Tichý and F. Kneidl, “Power Resources, Their Importance and Utilization in Czechoslovakia,” Transactions, Third World Power Conference (Washington, DC: USGPO, 1938), vol. 2, 144.
