Renewable Electricity in Liberalising Market, for European Commission, Directorate General XII
The project aimed to determine the role of renewable energy in the strategies of electricity utilities across Europe in the context of the liberalisation of the European electricity sector, and to show whether liberalisation is likely to help or hinder the development of renewable electricity in the partner countries, and in the EU as a whole. It has been tried to show how electricity utilities are likely to react to the combined, and potentially conflicting, effects of policies encouraging the further use of renewables, and legislation liberalising the electricity market.
