Environmental regulations, like the Kyoto process and the European Emissions Trading Scheme, are exposing the sector to external pressure.

The need for replacement is an extremely important driving force for the current transformation, forcing conventional and new technologies to compete for a role in the future energy supply. The overall transformation of electricity systems is neither driven nor shaped by technical or societal modifications alone, but rather by a rich diversity of processes in the realms of technology, politics, society and ec
