- catalog abstract ""Power cuts across the industrial world in 2003, concerns about gas supplies, and performance problems with nuclear power stations have all added to the more general switch in energy policy priorities to lowering greenhouse gas emissions and securing electricity and gas supply. As the North Sea oil and gas reserves are depleted, and as gas has become the preferred fuel source for electricity generation, energy policy is very much back on the political agenda." "Over the past two decades, the energy sector has been radically transformed. The great state enterprises have been broken up, privatized, and been taken over. A new regulatory framework developed, as the market philosophy was applied, breaking monopolies and creating competition. This major study of the market approach to energy policy in Britain since 1979 provides a comprehensive history, and sets out the achievements in tackling the coal and nuclear legacies, increasing efficiency, and giving customers choice. But the promise that energy would become like any other commodity business has not been delivered on, and regulation has not withered away as some of the early enthusiasts expected. New policy priorities - notably the environment, fuel poverty, and investment in the infrastructure - have encouraged the growth of regulation, and interconnection with Europe has opened up a wider dimension." "This revised paperback edition includes a new chapter on the recent development of the low-carbon policy, as well as updated discussions on the collapse of British Energy, new approaches to price reviews, and emission trading."--Jacket.".
