Member States will need to ramp up financing in order to meet the EU renewable energy production targets. Under the REPowerEU Plan the headline 2030 target for renewables at the EU level has increased from 40% to 45%1 to cut Europe's energy dependency on Russian gas well before 2030. Despite...

Hundreds of power plants have closed in the United States since 2010, including 130+ gigawatts of coal and 50+ gigawatts of natural gas. In this paper, we highlight the potential for regulation to distort this type of exit decision. Using generator-level data from 2010-2023, we show that...

Energy history is an approach to understanding the past that takes changes in the human exploitation of Earth's energies as its object of inquiry. This interdisciplinary field documents and analyzes how humans thought about, harnessed, stored, and exploited stocks and flows of energy. In recent...

Prosumers are becoming increasingly important in global energy consumption and production. We partner with an energy service provider in Sweden to explore the economics facing such agents by conducting a natural field experiment over a 32-month period. As a policy instrument, we explore how...

Energy economics and policy are at the heart of current debates regarding climate change and the switch from fossil fuels to renewable forms of energy. They are also crucial in dealing with energy supply and security issues caused by global shocks such as the war in Ukraine. An Introduction to...

"Shows how international economic law addresses climate and environmental issues associated with the unsustainable energy production and use across countries. This book will appeal to scholars, researchers, policymakers, students and others interested in renewables, decarbonization, energy...

"Renewable energy technologies produce many measurable benefits, such as a clear reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. However, it is also apparent that these methods of energy production come with costs. Discussing renewable energy developments within an economic context, this pertinent...

Increasing shares of volatile energy resources like wind and solar energy will require flexibly schedulable energy resources to compensate for their volatility. Biogas plants can produce their energy flexibly and on demand, if their design is adjusted adequately. By doing so, the biogas plant...

"Mit nachwachsenden Ressourcen die Abhängigkeit von Öl vermindern" - so untertitelt die Bundesregierung ihre Strategie zur Förderung der Bioökonomie in Deutschland (BMBF 2013). Zur Bioökonomie zählen alle Wirtschaftsbereiche, die nachwachsende Rohstoffe erzeugen, verarbeiten und handeln....

In this paper we study the diffusion of non-hydro renewable energy (NHRE) technologies for electricity generation across 108 developing countries between 1980 and 2010. We use two-stage estimation methods to identify the determinants behind the choice of whether or not to adopt NHRE as well as...

Das Werk setzt sich erstmals eingehend mit den regulatorischen Voraussetzungen auseinander, die nach dem Unionsrecht und dem nationalen Energiewirtschaftsrecht bei der Vermarktung flexibler Lasten in der Stromwirtschaft zu berücksichtigen sind. Neben der bisher im Fokus der fachlichen...
