This book focuses on Renewable Energy (RE) governance - the
institutions, plans, policies and stakeholders that are involved in
RE implementation - and the complexities and challenges associated
with this much discussed energy area. Whilst RE technologies have
advanced and become cheaper, governance schemes rarely support
those technologies in an efficient and cost-effective way. To
illustrate the problem, global case-studies delicately demonstrate
successes and failures of renewable energy governance. RE here is
considered from a number of perspectives: as a regional
geopolitical agent, as a tool to meet national RE targets and as a
promoter of local development. The book considers daring insights
on RE transitions, governmental policies as well as financial
tools, such as Feed-in-Tariffs; along with their inefficiencies and
costs. This comprehensive probing of RE concludes with a treatment
of what we call the "Mega-What" question - who is benefitting the
most from RE and how society can get the best deal? After reading
this book, the reader will have been in contact with all aspects of
RE governance and be closer to the pulse of RE mechanisms. The
reader should also be able to contribute more critically to the
dialogue about RE rather than just reinforce the well-worn adage
that "RE is a good thing to happen".
