Abstract
Any analysis of the ‘efficiency’ of energy decision-making in the UK must begin with a description of what institutions exist and how they relate to each other. It must also consider whether they serve, or could serve, the following functions:
-
(i)

-
(ii)
the assessment of single investments which have ‘national’ attributes;
-
(iii)
the assessment of programmes.
