Electricity Markets in Transition | A Cornwall Insight and Gowling WLG White Paper

Cornwall Insight and Gowling WLG have co-authored a thought leadership paper on Electricity Markets in Transition.

The focus is on key technology innovations either currently at play, or which can be reasonably be foreseen and what this means for innovators, market participants, and the regulatory and policy setting. The paper, launched today at Gowlings WLG’s London office, provided the opportunity for the senior representatives from both companies, and external presenters, to discuss with a select audience the impacts across the value chain for technology providers, developers and funder.
