The European Energy Transition: Actors, Factors, Sectors (14) (European Energy Studies)

The energy transition is a European flagship project. The EU has formulated ambitious objectives, and citizens support a common European energy policy—the Energy Union—as the Eurobarometer reveals regularly. This book analyzes the factors driving change; in particular the Climate agenda, the new active customer paradigm and changing attitudes, as well as businesses changing (‘business model innovation’) and new actors emerging. It proceeds with a reality check based on facts and figures, and describes the various aspects of the European Energy transition.
