Download or read book The Law for Energy Prosumers written by Daniela Aguilar Abaunza and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-08-29 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that law has a vital role in shaping the electricity system to enable a more active role for consumers in liberalizsed electricity industries. To do that, this book offers a unique legal perspective of the Netherlands, New Zealand and Colombia to help understand some of the current legal approaches to prosumers and therefore the legal challenges and opportunities facing. Law and regulation have the role of creating a level playing field for emerging participants, such as prosumers, to participate and compete in the market together with traditional actors, bringing not only more competition but also representing a more sustainable, environmental and democratic way to supply energy. Furthermore, law and regulation have the role of responding to innovation and creating space for technological advances to procure the changes in the industry without delay. This book examines some of the legal barriers for the raise of energy prosumers. The traditional role of the distributor when responding to increasing distributed generation in the network; prosumers unable to decide to whom they can sell their electricity to; the price of the energy or even whether to participate more actively in demand response programs. A further issue is the lack of clarity about whether small prosumers are entitled to consumer protection rights and legal challenges regarding configuration, access to the network, access to markets and strict unbundling rules for community energy projects. This book provides a clear, analytical, and informed approach to understanding the regulatory framework around energy prosumers. It will appeal to policy makers, lawyers, individuals, business entrepreneurs or communities wanting to engage in energy projects, as well as academics, researchers and students

This book was released on 2012 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta investigación llena el vacío, hasta el momento existente en la literatura, de un análisis dogmático y crítico de los dos principales modelos de regulación de los servicios públicos, el de monopolio estatal y el de libertad económica, y de la síntesis de tipo Fichteano (la libertad con intervención) que nuestros ordenamientos jurídicos han intentado durante las últimas décadas. Solo un estudio como este, en perspectiva histórica y dialéctica, permite comprender las tensiones esquizofrénicas en las que se debate la regulación de los servicios públicos en el siglo presente.

Download or read book Keeping the Lights on written by Nils-Henrik M. von der Fehr and published by IDB. This book was released on 2003 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Power sector reforms across Latin America in the 1990s based on privatization, liberalization and market forces were largely unavoidable. This book argues that while there is no turning back from this process, many reforms may not prove sustainable without further efforts to build a stronger institutional platform to support them. The analytical framework presented in Keeping the Lights On: Power Sector Reform in Latin America establishes a baseline for the sustainability of reforms and identifies additional areas for exploration, analysis and inquiry. This analysis is critical to setting the stage for the next generation of reforms -- or mid-course corrections -- that will be necessary to enhance the sustainability of changes in progress. The book includes case studies of power sector reforms in Colombia, Honduras and Guatemala, as well as a timely section on the security of supply.

Download or read book Trade and Maritime Transport Between Africa and South America written by Jan Hoffman and published by United Nations Publications. This book was released on 2001 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trade between Africa and South America is of relatively minor importance for the region, with more than half of all trade accounted for by just ten specific bilateral flows in petroleum, grain, iron ore, coal and sugar. The report concluded that trade patterns are the main factor in determining the supply of transport services, and that where there is a demand for transport, no fundamental shortage of shipping services can be identified. The low level of trade is found to be due to historical reasons, the lack of preferential trade agreements between the two regions, and because their economies do not necessarily complement each other.
