"The realization of a European internal market for energy is still a work in progress. Written by leading European scholars and discussed with major energy stakeholders, this book presents a thorough analysis of the motives and methods needed to achieve a single European energy market. The authors discuss the critical issues surrounding an internal energy market including: market design, competition and market power, sustainable energy versus the market, regulation and harmonization, benchmarking and indicators, modelling of competition, market prices and energy forecasts. They provide a multidisciplinary assessment of the 'best way' to build the market base of a future European energy policy."--Jacket.
