Competition and Regulation in the Renewable Energy Era

This chapter reflects on the future of competition and regulation in an area in which
renewable energy will be the dominant type of energy. Martha Roggenkamp has
extensively contributed to the legal discussion of these issues, while she has always
been open for multidisciplinary collaboration, knowing that energy issues can only
be appropriately treated when the various relevant disciplinary perspectives are
taken on board. This chapter, therefore, provides an economic perspective on the
regulation of renewable energy. It concludes that the topics Martha has worked on
so intensively, will remain crucial when energy systems are changing dramatically.
