Synopsis
A new national policy on climate change is under debate in the United States and is likely to result in a cap on greenhouse gas emissions for utilities. This and other developments will prompt utilities to undergo the largest changes in their history. Smart Power examines the many facets of this unprecedented transformation. This enlightening book begins with a look back on the deregulatory efforts of the 1990s and their gradual replacement by concerns over climate change, promoting new technologies, and developing stable prices and supplies. In thorough but non-technical terms it explains the revolutionary changes that the Smart Grid is bringing to utility operations. It also examines the options for low-carbon emissions along with the real-world challenges the industry and its regulators must face as the industry retools and finances its new sources and systems. Throughout the book, Peter Fox-Penner provides insights into the policy choices and regulatory reform needed to face these challenges. He not only weighs the costs and benefits of every option, but presents interviews with informed experts, including economists, utility CEOs, and engineers. He gives a brief history of the development of the current utility business model and examines possible new business models that are focused on energy efficiency. Smart Power explains every aspect of the coming energy revolution for utilities in lively prose that will captivate even the most techno-phobic readers., A new national policy on climate change is under debate in the United States and is likely to result in a cap on greenhouse gas emissions for utilities.

- i***s (631)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseFast shipping to Hawaii. Professionally packaged. Quality better than advertised. Price was very reasonable relative to the value of the item. There was a bit of a mix-up on shipping method & price. Seller dealt with the issue in a fast & friendly manner. Highly recommend this seller!
- 7***s (5)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseJust received the book I ordered – way ahead of estimated delivery time – in a perfectly brand new and undamaged condition (as described). It was also shrink-wrapped, which was a nice surprise, but I would've appreciated it more if it'd also arrived in a box rather than a bag (as I live in a whole other continent), but it didn't sustain any damage, so it's all right. Great seller; highly recommended; will definitely shop from again. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cheers.
- t***r (172)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem was as described, nicely packaged. I'm disappointed that I paid extra for USPS Priority Mail as offered by the seller, but it was shipped Ground Advantage. I still got it in time to deliver as a present so there's that. I would buy from this seller again but I would not pay the hefty upcharge for quicker shipping. AA
