| dc.description.abstract | Today energy becomes the most ubiquitous service and the ji-equent agenda of discussion of both developed and developing countries of the world. Their main concern is that of making use of energy resources that ensure a sustainable economic development, energy security, and environmental protection. Hence, in order to deal with the multifaceted problems of energy different countries throughout the world devised mechanisms that ensure its sustainability. Among the mechanisms being applied is the shift made away ji-om fossil filel towards renewable energy resources and energy efficiency measures. Ethiopia is endowed with vast renewable energy resources potential suitable for making a shifi ji-om the traditional biomass base energy consumption to modern energy use through electricity. The abundant hydropower, geothermal, solar, and wind energy resources must be developed to realize the shift and ensure the economic and social development of the countl)'. However, participation of the private sector in developing renewable energy resources for the generatioll of electricity is insignificant. In addition, the application of energy efficiency measures as part of energy resource sustainability remains minimal. All these limitations call for one to raise issues like: What are the main problems for the absence of private sector participation in the development of renewable energy resources for generating electricity and make use of energy efficiency measures? What are the experiences of other countries in dealing with similar problems? Is there any such "one-size fit all" model developed and applied that suit Ethiopia's specific conditiolls? !fnat, what alternative instruments can be opted as a solution? This thesis examines renewable energy resources and energy efficiency measures mainly ji-om legal, illstitutional, and regulatOlY ji-ameworks perspective emphasizing the Ethiopian ...- - ---. context. In the study, existing policy, legal, institutional, and regulatOlY frameworks of the countly are examined and internatiOl!al experiences are also explored to fill gaps of the unavailability of pertinent source materials. As part of the study possible solutions are suggested to be used by policy makers and legislature to disentangle the problem. Plus, the thesis lIIay be used as a source document for fi·trther study and research since the subject is found untouched especially in the field of law. | en_US |
