Today we’re focusing on Scotland, where clean hydrogen definitely exists on the ground, and where hydrogen is likely to have a significant role in the future.

49. The role of policy and regulation in the energy transition

In this episode, we’re looking at the topic of regulation and the role it plays in the transition to new energy. Although many aspects of energy markets have been liberalised in many ways in many countries, energy is certainly not a completely free market. Regulation plays a critical role, both with competitive markets, and of course networks which are more heavily regulated as natural monopolies. Regulations – and the policies underpinning them – have, naturally, been built around ‘old energy’. It now needs to evolve and facilitate, even lead the transition to ‘new energy’. We are joined by Jan Rosenow, Director of European Programmes, Zsuzsanna Pató, Senior Advisor, and Richard Sedano, President and CEO, at Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP).
