Regulators and policymakers in the energy sector face new and exciting challenges presented by renewable energy (RE). While not new to the energy mix, renewable energy’s importance as part of the overall national (and international) energy supply is a relatively new phenomenon. Countries, their governments, regulators and populations are only just adjusting to this recent change in the energy world. This Handbook seeks to help international regulators as they navigate through it.
