Nerves around policy
uncertainty
To grow the number of energy sector
infrastructure projects requires innovative,
evidence-based policy propositions and
implementations.
“Quoting the 2018 president
of the International Association
for Energy Economics (IAEE),
David Knapp, ‘Take the politics
out of policy’. The sector is in
great need of policies that are
evidence-based and unbiased,
with the ultimate purpose being
the improvement of current living
conditions.”
