Abstract
This chapter dives into the details of climate and energy policies. The asset manager role is thoroughly impacted by international and national energy agenda, from renewable energy sources investment to security of supply. Despite sharing a set of energy transition drivers, power and gas systems embody sectoral idiosyncrasies. In view of that, a dedicated overview is provided to each energy system, by addressing sustainable and flexible systems, for the power sector, and geopolitics, interconnections and LNG, for gas business.
