The study looks at the market in terms of financial, infrastructure and government policy milestones for policy makers and business to answer the “what if” question.  The roadmap addresses four critical areas of intervention: Policy, Markets, Investments and Infrastructure and looks at the ability to foster a stable, long term and transparent regulatory framework that will promote confidence with investors and enable the build-up of the required supply chain and grid infrastructure.
