Unlike a purely financial appraisal, we employ a social cost-benefit analysis that is mainly relevant for policy makers, taking into account – apart from direct financial costs – external costs and benefits from the diffusion of renewable electricity. The book presents a comprehensive yet straightforward case study, probably the first one conducted for Cyprus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElectricity produced by renewable sources increased worldwide\nat its fastest rate to date in 2014. Driven by policies to mitigate climate\nchange, enhance energy security and reduce air pollution, and by declining costs\nof major technologies, renewables account for almost all net new power\ngenerating capacity in the developed world. In this context, Cyprus is\nincreasingly adopting renewable power generation as well. In addition to its\nenergy and environmental commitments as a member of the EuropeanUnion, the\ncountry wishes to diversify its energy supply in order to drive down\nelectricity costs and reduce energy supply risks. A significant deployment of\nrenewable electricity is foreseen in the coming decades. Is it economically\njustified for a small country with an isolated electric system like Cyprus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-03-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319315348\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-31535-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 49\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47671606050956,"sku":"9783319315348","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319315348.jpg?v=1776518701","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319315348","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
