Reviews / Votes
"Harris provides a very perspicacious and readable overview of the theory and, importantly, the practice of welfare maximization in electricity. Unusually, he has written a book that bridges the usual divide between socio-political concerns and quantitative economic dimensions, and is all the stronger for it." - Catherine Mitchell, Professor of Energy Policy, Exeter University, UK
