Abstract
Overview
Introduction
This brief provides analysis on how the energy sector is facing up to climate
change. Datamonitor has previously published three briefs on this subject,
titled: [1] Increasing supplier power on the RO may reduce its success. [2]
Green energy: consumers aren't buying it. [2] Executives are not sure if the
sector is ready to face climate change. This is the fourth and acts as a
summary.
Scope
- a summary of Datamonitor's analysis on how the energy sector is facing up
to climate change.
- a good summary of the issues, including; the Renewables Obligation; Energy
Efficiency Commitment; Green tariffs; policy and nuclear.
- [The EU ETS (Emissions tarding scheme) is not covered in this brief].
Report Highlights
Consumer demand is not making the energy sector respond to climate change.
The RO may stimulate renewables but does not engage consumers.
As the UK debates, not acts, climate change is embroiled in security of supply.
Reasons to Purchase
- understand how the energy sector is not adequately responding to climate
change.
- understand how the energy sector has to manage climate change, yet
consumers are not being involved.
- gain a summary of the main strategies [and opinion on them] in the energy
sector that are focusing on climate change.
