We estimate the potential biomass demand from the existing power plants, and we match our estimates …-firing opportunities in European coal plants. We find that the biomass demand from the power sector may be very high compared with …

It is well-understood that the success of liberalizing the electricity supply industry depends crucially on the quality … electricity provision in Norway. A key difference between the reform processes in the two countries relates to the lack of …, greater customer involvement, and improving market transparency and privatization of government-owned corporations.
