Policy Support for Energy Transitions: Where is Public Money Best Spent?
About the Workshop:
To address
knowledge gaps in understanding linkages among
industry sectors, decision makers and other actors
including:
Direct and indirect policy impacts on
development of new technology supply chains
spanning both the manufacturing and service
sectors
The impacts of supply chain structure and scale
on the cost competitiveness of new and
incumbent technologies.
Considerations for the effective allocation of public
funding in support of energy transitions require an
appreciation of the success and failure of policy
instruments in achieving balanced energy transitions.
Understanding the impact of structural changes in
supply chains of both new and incumbent
technologies on competitiveness of renewable
technologies and resultant uptake levels is an often
overlooked factor. KAPSARC’s framework and
model for evaluating transition policy and its
effectiveness in balancing its multiple objectives
begins to take these factors into account.
