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