Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the fundamental changes that the Italian public utilities sector has undergone in the last two decades. Since the late 1990s, liberalisation and privatisation have replaced state-owned monopolies at both the national and local level, new technologies have created a broad range of new opportunities for power generation and distribution, and a redesigned public policy agenda has brought to the fore a whole set of new priorities. In this fast-changing environment, firms have redrawn their strategies, redesigned their business architectures and models, invested in infrastructure and R&D, taken advantage of growth opportunities at home and abroad, opened up their ownership structure, revised their offerings, and developed a new approach to customers. As a result, a radically altered market structure has emerged. As the sector tackles the overriding challenge of sustainability and energy transition, the book takes stock of such past and ongoing developments through the direct testimonies of various stakeholders: the companies in the energy, water, and waste management sectors that are at the forefront of this sweeping transformation; regulators; financial partners; and management consulting firms. The diversity of perspectives and wealth of information presented make this book a valuable resource for anyone wanting to grasp the direction, intensity and causes of change, as well as the nature of the challenges that lie ahead. This work has been prepared as part of the research activities of the Observatory on Alliances and Strategies in the Pan-European Utility Market, one of Agici’s Research and Advisory units.

Book excerpt: In the 90s, when the liberalization of Italian energy markets started, short-term efficiency issues were driving the economic debate. Over time, the focus of energy policies has progressively shifted towards a multilayered set of interrelated long-term objectives, ranging from climate change, to security of supply and industrial development. Within this changing environment, the article focuses on two crucial issues for the Italian energy policy: the environmental sustainability of economic growth and the security of national energy supply. To this aim the article analyses the Italian environmental performance of the energy sector, past trends and future scenarios, and reviews the so-called gas emergency experienced by Italy on 2005/2006. The article shows that over the last fifteen years Italy has not been able to decouple its economic growth from GHG emissions: a necessary condition to meet the Kyoto target. Even the deployment of renewable sources (RES) has been slow, despite the numerous support schemes implemented since the beginning of the 1990s. RES share on gross final energy consumption was less than 6% on 2006 and, according to the business as usual scenario (BAU) estimated by the EC, it should increase up to 8.2% by 2020. Far below the proposed 17% target. The article discusses this BAU scenario and suggests that, if all the new policies and actions approved or put in the agenda by the Italian government during the years 2007 and 2008 were actually implemented, the gap between EC targets and actual performance could be much lower. Namely, Italy could reach a GHG emissions reduction of 4.8% from 2005 to 2020 and a 9.3% share of renewable sources in gross final consumption by 2020. As for security of supply issues, the article claims that the basis of the 2006 gas emergency were not cuts in international gas supplies. Two were the main reasons of the gas emergency: the inadequacy of the intertemporal flexibility tools, such as storage capacity and the bad functioning of the gas markets whose prices were not allowed to adjust to signal the gas scarcity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transformation of the dominant model of centralized energy production from fossil fuels to renewable energies is at the center of the public and scientific debate, as well as the subject of national and European policies, as it is connected to highly topical issues such as climate change, emissions reduction and natural disasters, security of supply and sustainability of the current economic development model. Up to now this topic has been mainly addressed by the economic and engineering sciences, with a research focus on the hardware rather than on the human and social software. However, energy systems, and the possibilities of change, are not only economic or technological but involve also patterns of social life, representations, organizational models and relational structures. In order to generate the social preconditions for the transition to a low-emission society, focused on a growing production of energy from renewable sources and on a greater sustainability of consumption, it is therefore urgent to reaffirm the centrality of a sociological approach to energy. This book focused on three core research areas which are crucial to understand what is at stake with the energy transition: conflicts over the construction and location of renewable energy production plants; collective action on renewable sources that promote a new model of energy system in which consumers are also producers; and the social-territorial impact of energy policies.

This book was released on 2013-01-04 with total page 822 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Oxford Handbook provides a fresh overall view and interpretation of the modern economic growth of one of the largest European countries, whose economic history is less known internationally than that of other comparably large and successful economies. It will provide, for the first time, a comprehensive, quantitative "new economic history" of Italy. The handbook offers an interpretation of the main successes and failures of the Italian economy at a macro level, the research--conducted by a large international team of scholars --contains entirely new quantitative results and interpretations, spanning the entire 150-year period since the unification of Italy, on a large number of issues. By providing a comprehensive view of the successes and failures of Italian firms, workers, and policy makers in responding to the challenges of the international business cycle, the book crucially shapes relevant questions on the reasons for the current unsatisfactory response of the Italian economy to the ongoing "second globalization." Most chapters of the handbook are co-authored by both an Italian and a foreign scholar.
