Promotion Systems for Electricity Generation from Renewable Energy Sources Revisited

To increase the share of electricity from renewable energy sources (RES-E) different strategies are implemented in various countries. The core objective of this paper is to extract lessons learned from promotion schemes in Europe and to derive resulting recommendations for future. The major results are: (i) The success stories of RES-E in Europe in recent years has been triggered by FITs; A wel...

Evaluating Policies to Increase Electricity Generation from Renewable Energy*

Building on a review of experience in the United States and the European Union, this article advances four main propositions concerning policies aimed at increasing electricity generation from renewable energy. First, who bears the short-run costs of programs to subsidize the generation of electricity from renewable sources varies with the organization of the electric power industry, and this v...

The Private and Public Economics of Renewable Electricity Generation

Generating electricity from renewable sources is more expensive than conventional approaches, but reduces pollution externalities. Analyzing the tradeoff is much more challenging than often presumed, because the value of electricity is extremely dependent on the time and location at which it is produced, which is not very controllable with some renewables, such as wind and solar. Likewise, the ...
