520    The UK model of incentive regulation of power grids was at
       one time the most advanced, and elements of it were 
       adopted throughout the EU. This model worked well, 
       particularly in the context of limited investment and 
       innovation, a single and strong regulatory authority, and 
       limited coordination between foreign grid operators. This 
       enlightening book demonstrates how the landscape has 
       changed markedly since 2010 and that regulation has had to
       work hard to catch up and evolve. As the EU enters a wave 
       of investment and an era of new services and innovation, 
       this has created growing tensions between national 
       regulatory authorities in terms of coordinating technical 
       standards and distribution systems. This is being played 
       out against an increasingly disruptive backdrop of 
       digitization, new market platforms and novel business 
       models. Electricity Network Regulation in the EU adopts a 
       truly European approach to the complex issues surrounding 
       the topic, focusing on the grey areas and critical 
       questions that have traditionally been difficult to 
       answer. Incentive regulation and grids are addressed 
       simultaneously at the theoretical and practical level, 
       providing the reader with fundamental concepts and 
       concrete examples. This timely book is an invaluable read 
       for energy practitioners working in utility companies, 
       regulators and other public bodies. It will also appeal to
       academics involved in the world of electricity regulation.
       The book utilizes language that would make it suitable for
       interdisciplinary students, including engineering and law 
       scholars.
