Presentation: Energy policy-making in a time of rapidly changing technologies & social preferences

Energy policy-making in a time of rapidly changing technologies and social preferences

From: Catherine Mitchell

Presentation to: ESRC-DECC seminar on the transition to renewables, DECC – 17th May 2016

Outline:

  • The energy world is undergoing rapid change:
    • Energy technologies (supply, demand and operation) are decentralising
    • New means, and requirements, of system operation and integration are occurring
    • Global investment patterns are moving to RE from FF
    • Social preferences and ownership
    • Public policy momentum around the world to ‘clean’ away from ‘dirty’
  • There are considerable energy system challenges which are difficult to meet with current governance system BUT opportunities to capture as well
  • There has been lots of change in some countries but needs to spread those changes to more countries, and at a quicker rate
  • GB has a governance system which is not fit for purpose and has to be altered to provide value for the ‘new’ ways of doing things
  • If the governance changes (institutions and the sources of value within the system) then economics and costs of transformation change and opportunities are opened up – the NY REV argument
