Reviews

“The chapters of this book offer plenty of ideas, case studies and solutions to implement while avoiding the risks. Policymakers, regulators and energy practitioners in general are advised to have a careful look.” – Nicolò Rossetto, Florence School of Regulation, European University Institute, Florence, Italy

“There is enough content here to provide many hours of joyful discovery and pondering.” – Bruce Mountain, Director, Victoria Energy Policy Center, Victoria University, Melbourne, Australia

“Big centralized thermal plants have lost their privileged economies of scale while new decentralized innovations allow consumers to become prosumers, to become a collective energy community by sharing a physical mini grid or even a virtual collection of independence energy assets including storage.” – Jean-Michel Glachant, Florence School of Regulation, European University Institute, Florence, Italy
