"Markets & Regulation - financing the Smart Grid", September 2010, Madrid, Spain
The next in the series of ENARD's topical Annex I Workshops will be held in Madrid, Spain, 28th-29th September 2010 and will address the theme of "Markets and Regulation - financing the Smart Grid". This latest in the series of topical Annex I Workshops is aimed at stimulating discussion in relation to the considerable challenges to be addressed in relation to financing the significant investments required, to realize the Smart Grids vision , in its various forms throughout the world. The structuring and operation of electricity markets, in combination with the development and application of appropriate regulatory frameworks, are likely to be major influencing factors in determining the sector's ability to finance the levels of investment required, over the next decade and beyond. The Workshop will aim to establish the extent and magnitude of the challenge to be addressed, prior to examining associated regulatory, implementation, market and economic related considerations. The requirements for future actions and initiatives will be identified and these will be encapsulated, in terms of messages for policy makers.
