Présentation [en anglais] :
The underlying motive of the power sector decarbonisation project led by REKK is the examination of what policymakers can do through market and monopoly regulation to further the low carbon agenda in a manner that preserves incentives for the competitive and efficient operation of the electricity sector. More specifically, the following four topics are suggested for discussion at the project launch workshop in July 2010 as potentially fruitful areas of relevant research:
- Market design and project finance issues relating to generation investment into high fixed cost - low O&M cost assets
- Electricity distribution network regulation in times of fundamental technological change
- Social constraints on the road to a low-carbon electricity sector
- EU-level versus national roles in policymaking and regulation for reaching a low carbon power sector
