Is there an advantage in simultaneously investing in several forms of energy?3.4. Energy (power) decentralization and the future of networks - TBC - Decentralization of power generation may either mean an enhanced role for network or their erosion, possibly implosion. Cost/benefit of extended networks3.5.

Internalizing externalities: market vs. regulatory approaches to decarbonisation – TBC - GHG emissions as market failure: can the cost be effectively internalized? Carbon tax vs. ETSs. Regulation undermines market approaches5.2. Market solutions to security of supply - Giacomo Luciani (SciencesPo, France) - Security of supply has a cost and the final consumer should be able to decide how much security he wants.
