Abstract
AbstractEnergy market restructuring and liberalisation has produced mixed results. While wholesale market design and competition has matured, retail competition has remained static. This chapter discusses the reasons that contribute to the success and failure of energy market unbundling with the use of global examples. The new trends and policies in energy markets are discussed from a regulatory perspective including active investor participation, technological innovation, and the growth in renewable energy.
