Investment in Generation and Transmission Facilities

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Investment in Electricity Generation and Transmission

Abstract

This introductory chapter provides an overview of the investment decision-making process in electric energy systems, and it spans both transmission and generation investment. Transmission investment is regulated because it critically influences the operation of the system as a whole, while generation investment is generally the concern of private entities.
