Abstract
The political model of the social planner, or benevolent dictator, upon which economic energy system modelling is based, is greatly simplified. Real situations are much more complex. The various administrative levels with their different legislative expertise or the plurality of regions and nations involved in decisions about the future energy supply are not sufficiently examined in techno-economic analyses of the energy sector as outlined in the previous chapters.
