Special Regulation of Isolated Power Systems: The Canary Islands, Spain
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Sustainability"
DOI: 10.3390/su10072572
Abstract: As non-mainland territories, the Canary Islands represent isolated electricity systems with their own peculiarities, derived mainly from their location. They are therefore subject to a special regulatory framework governing their electricity supply activities. These systems… read more here.
