Electricity Sector Transitions Is Unbundling Electricity Services the Way Forward for the Power Sector? Rolando Fuentes High penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) will lead to further fragmentation of the power sector, both in the services offered and its value chain. The ‘‘local’’ component of energy policies will probably become increasingly important. Fuentes, Rolando
Electricity Sector Transitions The Renewable Energy Policy Paradox Jorge Blazquez, Carlo Andrea Bollino, Rolando Fuentes, Nora Nezamuddin One major avenue for policymakers to meet climate targets is by decarbonizing the power sector, one component of which is raising the share of renewable energy sources (renewables) in electricity generation. However, promoting renewables in liberalized power markets creates a… Blazquez, Jorge Bollino, Carlo Andrea Fuentes, Rolando Nezamuddin, Nora
