The power sector is being transformed by dramatic technological change.  The demands for further innovation, emanating from the need for greater productivity internally and external public objectives, is increasing. How should the industry, policy makers, and regulators respond to this demand? How do we identify the most promising technologies? What are the costs and cost trends going forward and how do they compare with anticipated benefits? How do these compare with other prices in the marketplace (with or without the social cost of carbon)? When is  subsidization, government or ratepayer,  justifiable and how should it be designed, applied, and phased out for the Blue Sky stage; Development stage; Implementation and Deployment stage? How can we best monitor and evaluate progress? What lessons can we learn from experience in other countries?
