“…Výskum vplyvu energetiky a energetických politík na rozvoj špecifických regiónov v našej geografickej literatúre je málo rozvinutý a uskutočňoval sa najmä na celoslovenskej úrovni (Szőllős 1989(Szőllős , 1998(Szőllős , 2006a(Szőllős a 2006b. Výskum tejto problematiky v zahraničí je venovaný decentralizácii energetiky a jej súvisom s trvalo udržateľným rozvojom regionálnych a lokálnych energetických systémov (Alane a Saari 2006), konfliktom a problémom vznikajúcim pri ich transformácii (Berkhout a Westerhoff 2013 a Gasteyer a Carrera 2013), ako aj divergenciami medzi štátnymi a regionálnymi a lokálnymi energetickými politikami (Byrne et al 2007) a ich vzájomnej integrácii (Klevas a Antinucci 2004).…”

Energy policies of Slovakia and the EU from the aspect of sustainability and regional development and their impact on the Horná Nitra region Energy systems are undergoing a deep transition, which influences the whole economy and society. Energy policies and other strategy documents should define goals, implementation steps and measures for the transition of energy systems on a national and European level. The aim of this article is to analyze, evaluate and compare the currently valid documents: the energy policy of the Slovakia from 2014 and the package of documents and measures "Clean Energy for All Europeans" (2016), which defines the recent energy policy of the EU from the aspects of sustainable development (SD) of energy systems and regions. The basic criteria of SD of energy system were defined. The strategic goals, priorities, legislative proposals and measures of both policies were evaluated as positive, negative or ambivalent in relation to the defined criteria. The Horná Nitra region was taken as an example of a coal region in transition to show the influence of an energy policy on this process. The conclusion shows that the carent energy policy of the Slovak Republic does not support the SD of energy system and regions and many of its goals and measures contradict the energy package of the EU, which supports and promotes them. The elaboration and approval of a new energy policy of the Slovakia is therefore inevitable.

“…They proposed guidelines for a long-term state energy efficiency policy in Lithuania and indicated that the energy-economic problem exists not only in Lithuania, but also in most Central and Eastern European countries. Klevas and Antinucci (2004) also applied the method of an energy indicator to examine the integration of national and regional energy development programmes in Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. They referred to government efforts in these three countries to restructure, liberalize, and privatize their energy markets, but made it clear that there is still a long way to go by observing the situation in regions and towns with regard to energy planning.…”

Estimation of energy productivity change in Baltic Sea and EU non-Baltic Sea states

The Baltic Sea states and the European Commission initiated the intergovernmental Baltic Sea Energy Cooperation (BASREC) in 1998 and established it the following year. The aim of this study is to examine and compare the energy productivity change, energy technical change, and energy efficiency change in Baltic Sea states and non-Baltic Sea states using the Malmquist-DEA approach. The main results indicate that energy productivity in the Baltic Sea states has been improved, with this mainly caused by energy technology progression; however, the improvement in energy efficiency is not so obvious. In addition, the subsample includes 10 former communist countries, showing that the source of their energy productivity change not only comes from energy technical change, but also energy efficiency changes. In other words, the catching up effect in the 10 former communist countries is more obvious than that in the Baltic Sea states. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…The second reason why focusing on regional data on renewable energy is interesting is because the promotion of sustainable energy production and consumption is increasingly regarded by the European regional policy as a crucial strategy to foster the development of lagging regions both in old and new member states (e.g. Streimikiene et al, 2005;Klevas and Antinucci, 2004).…”

Regional spillover effects of renewable energy generation in Italy

In a multivariate setting, we document that renewable energy generation has a positive impact on economic growth at the regional level in Italy. We do so by adopting panel data unitroot and cointegration tests as well as Granger non-causality tests relying on the system GMM estimator. Our results are interpreted in three ways. Renewable energy generation alleviates balance-of-payments constraints and reduces the exposure of a regional economy to the volatility of the price of fossil fuels and to negative environmental and health externalities deriving from non-renewable energy generation. Therefore, our evidence supports policies promoting renewable energy generation.
