ABSTRACT
The authors of this book have assessed the current use and future potential of renewable energy technologies for electricity generation. These are technologies that, as Godfrey Boyle puts it in Chapter 2, “enable constantly replenished renewable energy flows to be harnessed to produce power in forms useful to humanity on a sustainable basis.” In particular, the authors have addressed the following two questions: What is the case for promoting renewable energy? and What are the implications for power markets and systems of the widespread adoption of renewable generation? In this concluding chapter, we sum up the answers provided in preceding chapters and discuss some possible policy implications.
