Financing power : impacts of energy policies in changing regulatory environments
May, Nils; Neuhoff, Karsten - 2017
Power systems with increasing shares of wind and solar power generation have higher capital and lower operational costs than traditional technologies. This increases the importance of the cost of finance for total system cost. We quantify how renewable policy design can influence cost of finance...
