Innovation, Technology and Regulation. Exploring New Modes of Energy Governance

Abstract

Innovation is widely considered key in achieving a cleaner, more sustainable energy future by at the same time catering vital socio-economic goals. In short, ineffective and overcome models need to give way to new dynamics of energy governance, accounting for the complex and multi-facet nature of energy as a vital sector, business area and cross-cutting policy field. Applying novel approaches to energy governance, this panel explores four aspects of innovation: technology, regulation, policy, and usage patterns.
