Financial Development and Energy Consumption Nexus II

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue has the aim to present high-quality research on the investments in the energy sector linked to the most recent advances in the energy market development in its macro- and microeconomic aspects. The SI will be also addressing the impact of CO₂, green and white certificates on electricity prices, energy market vs. economic growth issues, the impact of weather and climate conditions on energy consumption, blackout risks, the development of renewable energy, the possibility of using weather derivatives in the energy sector, and the socioeconomic and geopolitical aspects of energy security. Special emphasis is placed on different success rates and indicators of the European integration plan taking, into account the limits of countries’ energy potential. In parallel to searching for some new renewable energy strategies, some states are also eager to find the right strategy to overcome energy poverty. This matter is also covered in this Special Issue.
