Tratado de regulación del sector eléctrico
Author: Energy Efficiency in Developing Countries
Author: Suzana Tavares da SilvaPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000034135
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
This book presents a comparative analysis of energy efficiency policies in developing countries. Although there is a vast amount of literature available about renewable energy policy and implementation in the developing world, energy efficiency tends to lack attention. This book fills this lacuna by examining the current state of the field and scope for future improvements. Drawing on a wide range of case studies including Brazil, China and Chile, the authors use a comparative approach to examine the policies and programmes being implemented, looking at the existing legal frameworks and regulatory challenges. By showcasing stories of success, as well as barriers to energy efficiency, they highlight the opportunities for increased energy access and efficiency and demonstrate how these opportunities may directly impact on climate change mitigation. This volume will be a useful resource for scholars and practitioners with an interest in energy policy and efficiency, climate change and international development.
Tratado de regulación del sector eléctrico.(Tomo I)
Author: Igancio S. GalánPublisher: Aranzadi
ISBN: 9788483558966
Category : Law
Languages : es
Pages : 1004
Book Description
El Tratado de Regulación del Sector Eléctrico supone la culminación de un ambicioso proyecto llevado a cabo por un grupo de juristas y economistas, estudiosos y profesionales de prestigio en el campo de la energía eléctrica. La obra, editada y publicada por Iberdrola y Thomson-Aranzadi, está presentada por Ignacio S. Galán y codirigida por Fernando Becker, Luís María Cazorla, Julián Martínez-Simancas y José Manuel Sala, está llamada a ser de consulta obligada para todo interesado en el sector eléctrico por su análisis completo y sistemático de los grandes temas afectantes a la regulación de este sector. El análisis se ordena en dos partes -jurídica y económica-, fruto de esta doble vertiente que, entre otras, presenta la materia de la regulación eléctrica. Bajo estos dos enfoques científicos se abordan -a la luz de la nueva etapa abierta por la adaptación a las exigencias comunitarias- temas esenciales para el sector eléctrico, como el mercado de producción de energía eléctrica, el régimen de las energías renovables, el papel del regulador, los principios de buena regulación, la competencia en el sector eléctrico, el déficit tarifario, la comercialización o la calidad del suministro. Estos y otros temas no se exponen, por fin, de forma meramente descriptiva; se hace con planteamientos constructivos en los que abundan propuestas que, sin lugar a dudas, merecen atención.
Taking on Climate Change Through Green Taxation
Author: Dinis, Ana ArrombaPublisher: IGI Global
ISBN: 166848594X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 438
Book Description
Since environmental issues entered the global agenda, governments have directing businesses towards sustainability. The term "sustainability" is commonly associated with a firm’s environmental attentiveness, although there are two other areas in which companies should be sustainable: social, to achieve an adequate relationship and fluid communication with their stakeholders, and economic, to accomplish transparent management and correct distribution of the wealth that is generated. The growing demand for corporate transparency encourages the publication of sustainability or corporate social responsibility (CSR) reports, providing information of a non-financial nature concerning the social and environmental dimensions of business activity, namely relations with local communities, the protection of human rights, corporate governance, and adaptation to climate change. Being no exception, and following the European agenda for sustainability development, several governments have implemented tax measures that promote sustainable consumption and production patterns to reduce energy dependence on external sources and efficiently achieve international targets, among others, within a context of neutrality of the tax system. This is where environmental tax incentives come in, underlying a paradigm shift. The relationship between tax policy and environmental policy is seen by governments as an opportunity to adjust the tax system to a more energy-efficient economy in the use of resources. For instance, green tax incentives motivate investors to invest in green properties, encouraging them to opt for greener solutions. That is, tax incentives should be viewed as a tool to empower taxpayers to change actions that may reduce carbon emissions and contribute to sustainability. Taking on Climate Change Through Green Taxation provides applied research on increasing green tax literacy to build the capacity of companies to adopt sustainable practices in favor of environmental protection, to raise companies' awareness of sustainable reporting, and to increase international discussion on the issue of environmental taxation and its impact on more sustainable business decisions. Led by business experts with over 20 years of experience, this book will cover topics such as corporate social responsibility, environmental tax management, and sustainable tax policy. This resource is ideal for policymakers, corporate governance and social responsibility professionals, and researchers interested in taxation, accounting, auditing, finance, corporate governance, and corporate social responsibility.

The Economics and Policy of Concentrating Solar Power Generation
Author: Pere Mir-ArtiguesPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030119386
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 207
Book Description
This book provides an up-to-date analysis of state-of-the-art concentrating solar power (CSP) generation. It focuses on the economic analysis of CSP generation technologies as well as the policies that have been and are being used around the globe to support it. The book describes the industrial sectors whose products make up the solar field, including the traditional manufacturers of turbines and generators.The authors provide the main theoretical tools needed to comprehend the costs of CSP technologies compared to other competing technologies (both conventional and renewable) and discuss the conceptual rationale behind creating public support for these technologies and the costs of various promotional techniques. Further, the book examines the concepts from different disciplinary traditions in economics (including environmental, innovation, industrial and public), which are then combined and integrated for an analysis of the costs and policies of CSP electricity.Addressing the main findings and the challenges for future CSP, the book is a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners. It is also of use to industrial engineers, as it identifies the features of the sector’s supply chain value, rooted in and supported by an industrial economics approach.

ISBN: 9403519649
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this book provides a systematic approach to legislation and legal practice concerning energy resources and production in Argentina. The book describes the administrative organization, regulatory framework, and relevant case law pertaining to the development, application, and use of such forms of energy as electricity, gas, petroleum, and coal, with attention as needed to the pervasive legal effects of competition law, environmental law, and tax law. A general introduction covers the geography of energy resources, sources and basic principles of energy law, and the relevant governmental institutions. Then follows a detailed description of specific legislation and regulation affecting such factors as documentation, undertakings, facilities, storage, pricing, procurement and sales, transportation, transmission, distribution, and supply of each form of energy. Case law, intergovernmental cooperation agreements, and interactions with environmental, tax, and competition law are explained. Its succinct yet scholarly nature, as well as the practical quality of the information it provides, make this book a valuable resource for energy sector policymakers and energy firm counsel handling cases affecting Argentina. It will also be welcomed by researchers and academics for its contribution to the study of a complex field that today stands at the foreground of comparative law.
