Energy Economics

Energy Economics is a branch of economics that focuses on the production, consumption, and distribution of energy resources. It examines how energy markets operate, the factors that influence energy prices, and the economic impacts of energy policies. This field analyzes the interplay between energy supply and demand, the effects of regulations and technological advancements, and the implications of energy transitions towards sustainable sources. Energy economists study trends in energy consumption, the role of renewable resources, fossil fuels, and the economic viability of different energy technologies. The goal is to understand and optimize energy use while considering environmental, social, and economic factors.
