Richard Green

Professor Richard Green is the Alan and Sabine Howard Professor of Sustainable Energy Business at Imperial College Business School. He started his career in the Department of Applied Economics at the University of Cambridge, and has held chairs at the University of Hull and the University of Birmingham. As economist, his work concerns competition and regulation in the electricity industry; particularly in the wholesale markets where generators sell power to retailers. Much of his recent work concerns the implications of a large increase in the proportion of electricity coming from renewable generators. He has been a specialist advisor to select committees from both Houses of Parliament, and held visiting positions at the World Bank, the University of California Energy Institute and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
