New dynamics in the electricity sector: consumption-growth nexus, market structure and renewable power
Description
The objective of this thesis is to study the new dynamics and their impacts in the electricity sector. It discusses the critical issues from the perspectives of macroeconomics, structural configuration, and a transition to renewable energy sources. More precisely, three topics emerge: the nexus between electricity consumption and economic growth, the impacts of vertical integration between power generators and retailers, and the market impacts and integration issues of intermittent renewable generation. By studying these three topics, it provides answers to the key challenges of supply security, competitiveness and sustainable development in the energy sector. By giving new research directions of energy economics, it serves to inspire related policy debates. (author)
Abstract (French)
L'objectif de cette these est d'etudier les nouvelles dynamiques et leurs impacts dans le secteur de l'electricite. Elle discute des sujets critiques d'apres les perspectives de la macroeconomie, de la configuration structurelle, et de la transition vers des sources d'energie renouvelables. Plus precisement, trois sujets se degagent: le lien entre la consommation d'electricite et la croissance economique, les impacts de l'integration verticale entre les producteurs et les detaillants, et les impacts d'integration de production d'energie renouvelable intermittente. En mettant en jeu ces trois sujets, elle tente d'apporter des reponses aux defis principaux de la securite d'approvisionnement, de la competitivite, et de la durabilite du developpement energetique. En donnant de nouvelles orientations dans la recherche sur l'economie de l'energie, elle servira a eclairer des debats politiques. (auteur)
