Special Issue Information

Dear colleagues,

The 3rd Annual Conference of the Portuguese Association of Energy Economics (APEEN) and the International Meeting on Energy and Environmental Economics (ME3) took place on 18–19 October 2018 in Braga, Portugal, bringing together international researchers from energy and environmental economics to enrich the debate on the many issues raised by the management of resources and waste. The main topic was “Managing Resources and Waste: Challenges for Energy and Environmental Economics beyond 2030”, with a particular focus on energy issues.

Following the event, in collaboration with Energies (MDPI), high-quality papers from the conference will be invited to submit follow-up articles extending the presented research in a dedicated Special Issue. This Special issue aims to collect contributions from field specialists working on topics of energy economics and to disseminate the contributions presented in the conference so as to move the debate forward and push the energy policy agenda beyond 2030.

How Relevant Are Non-Use Values and Perceptions in Economic Valuations? The Case of Hydropower Plants

The construction of hydropower plants, particularly of large ones, is far from being a consensual decision: advocates defend their construction based on the unquestionable benefits hydropower provides, while critics argue that these facilities are far from harmless and cause adverse impacts on the environment, being not only against the construction but also demanding the destruction of existing ones. We review a selection of recent empirical studies concerning impacts of hydropower developments, to make a case for the consideration of non-use values in the economic valuation of the environmental and social impacts of hydropower plants, through the use of non-market valuation methodologies. Additionally, we present data from a case study of hydropower economic valuation, where different subgroups of the population with differing degrees of contact and familiarity with hydropower rate their perception of impacts. Respondents with more contact are less penalizing of hydropower than other respondents. We conclude that non-use values are non-negligible and can be valued through stated preference methods, but researchers should take into consideration perceptions and the role of users and non-users. Non-use values should thus not be neglected by policy makers and regulators at the planning and public consultation stages or as part of the decommissioning decision. Full article

In this work, energy poverty in the Canary Islands is analysed, and a new indicator to measure it is proposed. In the first place, a quantitative analysis has been conducted using different income-based indicators and contrasting the results with the Spanish situation during the 2006–2016 period. The archipelago presents some specific characteristics (high poverty rates combined with low energy consumption) that make necessary the introduction of an alternative, more robust indicator than those existing in the literature. Based on a combination of different income-based indicators, a new one is proposed, named “Compound Energy Poverty Indicator” (CEPI). The CEPI reveals the special features of the Canaries consistent with their regional singularities, as recommended by the European Union energy policies. The evolution of this indicator shows the greater impact of the 2008 economic crisis on the Canary Islands compared to Spain, almost reaching the Spanish energy poverty rates at the end of the period (12.5 versus 11.49). Moreover, the average growth rate from 2006 to 2016 (13.0%) results very high in comparison with the national 2.6%. The development of a systematic and coordinated strategy in the Canaries to assess the energy poverty incidence would not be possible without a proper, accurate indicator. Full article
