Newly published paper on regulation and business models for access to energy

Such regulation and the business models that fit within it must be well adapted to the specific characteristics of electrification in each country and must be informed by rigorous quantitative analysis of the costs and benefits of every option, as well as the concomitant social, political, cultural and administrative factors.
