Energy Diversity and Security focuses on the consideration of

borrowed from financial economic theory, in particular
mean-variance portfolio theory, can provide insights on the costs
and benefits of diversity, and thus inform investment decision
making in conditions of uncertainty. It gives the reader an
in-depth understanding of how to manage risk at a time when the
world's focus is on this area. The book provides insights from
leading authorities in the area of energy security. It gives
readers abundant, rigorous analysis and guidance at a critical time
in facing the twin challenges of energy security and climate
change. The book also highlights the role of clean energy
technology in moving towards future diverse and intelligent
electricity systems. It will be a trusted, first point of reference
for decision-makers in the field of energy policy.
The book includes a foreword by the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize winner.
