C: Energy Economics and Policy
A section of Energies (ISSN 1996-1073).
Section Information
Energy policy is the manner in which a given entity (governments, industry groups, businesses) address issues of energy development, production, distribution, and consumption. This Section also provides a forum for communicating recent advances in energy policy, economics and innovation aspects of economics and policy of energy supply, trading, delivery and consumption, combining expertise in innovation theory, energy system organisations and institutions, and the wider policy and regulatory context of energy.
