This book, edited by Boaz Moselle, Jorge Padilla, and Richard Schmalensee, addresses the theory, practice, and policies related to harnessing renewable energy in electric power systems. It analyzes how the electric power industry, reliant on fossil fuels, contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and how the transition to renewable sources can offer energy independence and create new industries and jobs.
