Dave Jones, Electricity Analyst says: ‘’We wrote this report, hoping that other countries can learn from Europe’s experiences so far of phasing out coal. In the last four years, there is a wealth of policies that have worked well, and policies that have worked less well. We hope you enjoy reading it, and would like to thank the many experts that have contributed that have shared their experiences.

We hope that this becomes a valuable “how-to guide” to help policy-makers develop a successful coal phase-out in their country.’’
