Making targeted subsidies and the process of releasing energy market and specified criteria for the quality of energy delivered to consumers shows the necessity for the explanation of energy production in Iran. In the meantime, thermal power plants produce about 85% of electricity in Iran. Steam and gas turbine power plants have created the vast capacity of power generation in thermal plants, b...

A former Republican congressman from South Carolina has started an institution to promote conservative approaches to mitigating climate change and achieving energy security for the United States. According to Bob Inglis, whose Energy and Enterprise Initiative is housed within George Mason University, market distortions lead Americans to use far more fossil fuels than they would if they paid the...

Government subsidies (GSs) have triggered a remarkable increase in the production capacity of photovoltaic (PV) electricity China. However, lack core technologies has limited PV enterprises’ competitiveness global market. This research investigates impacts R&D and non-R&D on innovation enterprises. With samples Chinese listed enterprises from 2010 to 2019, this study finds exert notable...

Many developing countries subsidise energy (petroleum fuel products, natural gas and electricity), which was reflected in an extra pressure on the national budget, this will support inefficient use of energy. In study, effects electrical subsidies total consumption residential sector were examined. Data more than 260,000 Jordanian ordinary customers collected, 1000 energy-extra subsidised Irbid...

We designed a series of field experiments to study the behavior of farmers under alternative electricity subsidies for extracting groundwater. Users’ water pumping decisions are based on the price of electricity, level of subsidy, and height of the water table. The paper opens with a brief description of common pool resource dilemmas and the value of field experiments in the analysis of such is...

Since independence in 1947, the power sector in India has been virtually controlled by the Government of India, which created State Electricity Boards that were responsible for the complete supply chain of power, including generation, transmission, and distribution. The reasons for this centralisation, based on socialist ideology, included no-monopoly instincts (profits were reinvested, fair-la...

Wholesale electricity markets are becoming ubiquitous, offering consumers access to competitively-priced energy. The cost of energy is often correlated with its environmental impact; for example, environmentally sustainable forms of energy might benefit from subsidies, while the use of high-carbon sources might be discouraged through taxes or levies. Reacting to real-time electricity price fluc...

Worldwide, renewable electricity projects are granted production support to ensure competitiveness. Depending on the design of these support schemes, the cash inflows to investment projects will be more or less exposed to fluctuations in electricity and/or subsidy prices. Furthermore, as renewable electricity technologies mature, there is a possibility that the current support scheme will be te...
