...Q1. What do you think are the economic benefits of liberalizing the EU energy market? Who stands to gain the most from liberalization? The economic Advantages would be that the clients would get to pick their energy suppliers depending on their preference which would lead to having better quality service in the energy market. also energy suppliers can lower their prices by alternating their effectiveness. massive usefulness should be able to realize economies of scale which will able them to compete more efficiently. The clients and businesses would gain the most from liberalisation by getting the best lowest prices possible from suppliers; better manufacture with the use of variable technology so business would have more deals in the competitive market and could be more profitable. Q2. What are the implications of liberalization for energy producers in the EU? How will the environment they face change after liberalization? What actions will they have to take? The Implications are to combined the markets of its 27 states with a sole unit market for electricity and gas. EnWG is an example of the greater market shares that would be obtained and influenced by a massive sole enterprise . There are a lot of changes in the environment after liberalisation obtains and unites in the energy markets. Politicians and governments try to shelter their firms from other opponents with procedures. Bigger firms will try to acquire firms in local country. Government would take actions...

...1. Renewable energy The text is about the possible expectations of being a member of the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Cooperation in the case of Hungary. Firstly, it’s a main problem in Hungary, that we often emphasize the importance of the efficiency of using energy, but none of us could really put it into practice. This joining means a step forward to make this progress more effective by certain methods, which can result a development in Hungary in this topic. Through a private databank every member can find a practical solution for using alternative energy in their country, by taking into account their natural resources. A possible solution for Hungary could be the usage of biomass, geothermical energy and the wind energy. Furthermore, this environmental issue should get much more publicity to strenghten the environmental friendliness of the society. That means more the government implement acts referring to the eco-friendly behaviour, more the citizens will adapt this way of living. To sum up, Hungary has shown the willingness of being participated in an initiative to prevent using up natural resources by replacing them renewable energy. 2. Hungarian labour market Hungary has new problems to fight against in the latest couple of years, meaning the change of the age distribution and its effect on the labour market and the welfare. To start with, having an unbalanced age structure in a country can cause a fairly unstable budget, which means the active...

While coal and oil are the current sources of energy, concerns about the quantity available and environmental problems force officials in China to look elsewhere for the country’s energy. Nuclear, wind, and hydroelectric power are all options in this field, but solar energy seems to be the most promising. This paper researches the history of energy demand in China and the potential of solar energy. By providing information about competition, the relations between China and the U.S., and methods of entry, we hope to give insight to those interested in entering the Chinese Energy Market. Demand for Energy in China Figure [ 1 ] From the 1940s to the 80s, the Chinese economy grew from an output level of 18% to 44%, while the amount of energy required to match the economic output tripled.

...Brief: Clean Energy Markets: Jobs and Opportunities April 2010 Update [Type text] In Brief: Clean Energy Markets: Jobs and Opportunities Executive Summary This brief discusses how investment in clean energy technologies will generate economic growth and create new jobs in the United States and around the globe. The United States stands to benefit from the expansion of global clean energy markets, but only if it moves quickly to support domestic demand for and production of clean energy technologies through well-designed policy that enhances the competitiveness of U.S. firms. Clean energy markets are already substantial in scope and growing fast. Between 2004 and 2007, global investments in renewable energy more than doubled. Forecasts of investment totals over the next few decades vary according to assumptions made regarding the nature of future global climate agreements. Annual investments in global renewable energy markets could reach $106-$230 billion a year in 2020 and as much as $424 billion a year in 2030 (in year 2000 dollars). Over the next decade, assuming strong global action on climate change, cumulative global investment totals for clean power generation technologies could reach nearly $2.2 trillion. Recognizing the potential of these markets, China, Europe, and other nations are moving to cultivate their own clean energy industries and position them to gain large market shares in the decades ahead. In 2009, China invested more money in clean energy technologies...

...fluctuation. The more generating capacity Eastern has, the less overall risk it will face. Eastern wants to benefit from potential arbitrage opportunities between gas and electricity markets through vertical integration, combing gas supply with gas-fuelled electricity generation. With major revenue generated from regulated electricity distribution business, Eastern would need more generating capacity to facilitate arbitrage. 2. What prevented Eastern from increasing its own electricity generation capacity? The regulation prevents RECs from vertical integration by setting limits of generation capacity to each RECs. Eastern’s generation capacity is capped at 1,000 MW. With existing capacity of 850MW, Eastern is unlikely be able to aggressively increase its own electricity generation capacity. 3. What were the main reasons for Enron to enter into the agreement with Eastern to receive gas and supply the value of electricity rather than operate simply as an independent power plant (IPP)? An IPP needs four contracts to transfer various risks in the project. One of the contracts is power purchase agreement (PPA), which would eliminate electric price risk. Without PPA, an IPP would become a merchant power plant (MPP) which retains gas and/or electric price exposure. In U.K.’s deregulated market, Enron’s counterparty for the PPA agreement would be private companies. However, private companies were reluctant to sing long term PPA contracts because they had lost money when technological...

W ostatnich latach zintensyfikowano poszukiwania złóż gazu łupkowego, Polska przygotowuje się do wzniesienia elektrowni atomowej, ponadto wdraża się system inteligentnych sieci, a także co raz bardziej wspiera się inicjatywy dotyczące odnawialnych źródeł energii oraz gorąco debatuje się nad kwestiami ekologicznymi oraz emisji CO2. Bezpieczeństwo energetyczne oznacza – zgodnie z polskim prawem – stan gospodarki, który umożliwia porycie bieżącego, a także perspektywicznego zapotrzebowania na energię przy zachowaniu wymagań odnośnie ochrony środowiska. Oznacza to, że Polska powinna się starać stworzyć taki system prawny i ekonomiczny, który zapewniałbym pewność dostaw, wysoką konkurencję oraz powinien zapewniać ochronę środowiska. Jeśli chodzi natomiast o Unię Europejską, jej polityka energetyczna sprowadza się do trzech głównych celów: przeciwdziałania zmian klimatycznym, ograniczania podatności państw członkowskich na wpływy czynników zewnętrznych od importerów oraz na wspieraniu zatrudnienia, a także zapewnienia wzrostu gospodarczego.
