Pressing environmental, social, and political challenges are accelerating Asian economies\u2019 transition towards a resilient energy system. While the cost-competitiveness of solar and wind energy continues to improve, renewable energy consumption remains constrained by the lack of necessary policies, technologies, and infrastructure to manage intermittent generation from renewable energy sources. The intermittency caused by renewable energy sources makes balancing the energy system problematic and could impose a significant burden on power systems or even lead to more serious problems. Energy infrastructure such as energy storage technologies, smart grid, power-to-gas and other advanced technologies and applications could support stable, reliable, and sustainable renewable energy. However, investments in energy infrastructure require policies that address technological, financial, policy, and market barriers. Implementation of policies integrating intermittent renewable energy could reduce risks for investments in renewable energy. Papers included in the Special Issue will help policy makers to design policies integrating renewable energy and promoting investments in renewable energy.\u00a0This special issue will feature the most recent developments and state-of-the-art in energy infrastructure development encompasses economics, technology, policy and governance, and many other aspects. The economic aspect of energy infrastructure development can be further divided into several thematic areas such as investments, business models, market designs, financing and cost-benefit analysis. The technology aspect of energy infrastructure development could include topics such as technology needs, technology adoption potentials, RD&D strategies, environmental impact assessment, innovation management, and technology roadmapping. The policy and governance aspect could include institutional arrangements, monitoring and compliance, safety and security of energy systems, penalty and\/or incentive schemes, regulatory frameworks, and legislation. The targeted audience includes both academic researchers and industrial practitioners. The purpose of the SI is to provide a platform to enhance interdisciplinary research and share the most recent ideas in the above-related fields.
