Patterns of Transmission Investments

In: Competitive Electricity Markets and Sustainability

Author

Listed:
  • Paul Joskow

Abstract

This book responds to the opening up of electricity markets to competition, which has completely changed the nature of power generation. The building of new generation and transmission capacity and the setting of the energy mix between nuclear, gas and renewable resources are mainly left to private initiative and investors.
