Assessing the Strength and Effectiveness of Renewable Electricity Feed-in Tariffs in European Union Countries

Groba, Felix; Indvik, Joe; Jenner, Steffen - DIW Berlin (Deutsches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung) - 2011

In the last two decades, feed-in tariffs (FIT) and renewable portfolio standards (RPS) have emerged as two of the most popular policies for supporting renewable electricity (RES-E) generation in the developed world. A few studies have assessed their effectiveness, but most do not account for...

Residual Load, Renewable Surplus Generation and Storage Requirements in Germany

Schill, Wolf-Peter - DIW Berlin (Deutsches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung) - 2013

We examine the effects of future renewable expansion in Germany on residual load and renewable surplus generation for policy-relevant scenarios for 2022, 2032 and 2050. We also determine the storage capacities required for taking up renewable surpluses for varying levels of accepted curtailment....

Have State Renewable Portfolio Standards Really Worked?: Synthesizing Past Policy Assessments

Shrimali, Gireesh; Jenner, Steffen; Groba, Felix; Chan, … - DIW Berlin (Deutsches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung) - 2012

Renewable portfolio standards (RPS) are the most popular U.S. state-level policies for promoting deployment of renewable electricity (RES-E). While several econometric studies have estimated the effect of RPS on in-state RES-E deployment, results are contradictory. We reconcile these studies and...

Subsidies for Learning in Renewable Energy Technologies under Market Power and Emission Trading

Traber, Thure; Kemfert, Claudia - DIW Berlin (Deutsches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung) - 2011

Under perfect competition on the output market, first best technology subsidies in the presence of learning by doing are justified by knowledge spill overs that are not accounted for by individual companies. First best output subsidies are thus depending directly on the learning effects and are,...
