This is a timely and comparative assessment of initiatives to
promote renewable electricity sources (RES-E) in eight European
countries. Carried out by the ProSus research programme at the
University of Oslo in cooperation with leading research
institutions in each country, the book focuses on the promotional
schemes used to foster RES-E in Austria, Denmark, Finland, Ireland,
the Netherlands, Norway, Spain and Sweden. The book is unique in
that it monitors progress on implementing the EU RES-E Directive in
relation to the impact of the 'dominant energy systems' in each
country. Employing notions of 'path dependency/path creation', the
analysis demonstrates that crucial lessons for promoting RES-E are
to be found in the contextual conditions of national and regional
settings; conditions that qualify the effects of more general,
market-oriented schemes. The conclusions reached are of direct
relevance for the ongoing debate as to the most effective policy
instruments for achieving sustainable energy and climate policies
in Europe. Promoting Sustainable Electricity in Europe will be of
interest to academics and researchers involved in environmental
management, energy studies, technology and sustainable development.
Furthermore, it will be of interest to policymakers and bureaucrats
both at the EU level and among EU/EEA member states concerned with
climate change, renewable energy and sustainable development at
large. The book should also be of relevance for business
organizations and NGOs concerned with the promotion of sustainable
electricity.
