Introduction to the special issue "The regional integration of energy markets"
Abstract
The spatial organization of the electricity industry is key in the current policy-making debate in many parts of the world. This concern results from a combination of policy and technological considerations. Policy-wise, the drives towards market integration and towards increased penetration of renewable energy sources are possibly the two most prominent on-going industry transformations. Technology-wise, the transition to a decentralized regime is triggered by the introduction of combined-cycle gas turbines and further pushed by the development and diffusion of renewables.
