Liberalising electricity marked a radical deviation from the established paradigm of state-controlled electricity systems which had become established across Europe after the Second World War. By studying early liberalisation processes in Britain and the Nordic region, and analysing the role of the EEC, the book shows that the creation of electricity markets involved political decisions about the feasibility and desirability of introducing competition into electricity supply industries. Competition introduced risks, so in designing the process politicians needed to evaluate who the likely winners and losers might be and the degree to which competition would impact key national industries reliant on cross-subsidies from the electricity sector, in particular coal mining, nuclear power and energy intensive production. The book discusses how an understanding of the origins of electricity markets and their political character can inform contemporary debates about renewables and low carbon energy transitions. . | 出版日期 | Book 2021 | 关键词 | electricity markets; energy transition; UK energy policy; European Energy Policy; History of Energy; Libe | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-90075-5 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-90077-9 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-90075-5 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
