Investment decisions in a changing and uncertain environment

The “low carbon future” environment will significantly change the economic drivers of energy policies and, notably, grid investment schemes. Thus, investment decision processes need to evolve, which was reviewed by WG C1.22. The WG studied four themes: organization issues, market issues, economic issues, and institutional issues. It produced many interesting learning points about the consequences of the changing and uncertain environment that the transmission industry now has to face and also identified some topics for further discussion within SC C1.
