Sustainable Energy Planning

Dear Colleagues,

To combat global warming, the CO₂ emissions from energy systems worldwide must be reduced. However, the necessary transition of the energy systems also needs to be carried out in a sustainable way, to ensure that the transition is long-lived. This highlights the importance of sustainable energy planning. Sustainable energy planning is not only a question of which technologies will bring about a sustainable development in the energy sector, but also equally important are the organizational aspects surrounding these technologies, e.g., ownership models and regulatory issues. These aspects need to be understood and analyzed on a local, regional, national, and supranational level. Papers submitted to this Special Issue should address issues related to sustainable energy planning.
