Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2017, vol. 80, issue C, 341-351

Abstract: The technology shift from fossil-fuelled systems to renewable energies has been promoted by governments with the purpose of decarbonising the power industry. However, rapid technology progress has prompted disruptive changes that transformed market structures. Incumbent electricity utilities, particularly those based on fossil-fuel plant, are shifting from their stable and predictable situation to confront challenges from those that offer alternative energy services. In this new environment, the industry will benefit from mid- to long-term sector foresight.
