There is great potential for generating electricity from renewable energy sources in many developing and emerging countries. Obstacles to the exploitation of such sources and to the involvement of foreign investors include a lack of knowledge of framework conditions in the energy industry and insufficient transparency with regard to the prior experience and interests of national actors. This fourth, updated and expanded edition is aimed at overcoming barriers such as these. The electricity markets and their respective actors are investigated for 23 countries in various regions: Latin America, Africa - Middle East and Asia. The country studies analyse the energy-policy framework conditions and closely examine the status of and promotion policy for electricity generation on the basis of hydropower, wind power, solar power, biomass and geothermal energy. The chapters on each country are rounded off by information about rural electrification. [Contracarátula]
