Wind power is an important source of renewable energy. Beyond the environmental dimension, the wind energy may contribute to the local development. Due to its weather conditions, Brazil emerges as one of the leading countries in the generation of wind power. This study estimates the impact of...

Wind energy installed capacity has been increasing steadily all over the world and is expected to continue to do so in the future, following lowering costs of technology as well as increased renewable energy goals by governments. Nonetheless, public opposition has been increasing, and the...

There is a risk that if a government adopts a R&D spending policy directed towards wind power technology crowding out of other technologies might occur due to fiscal constraints and changes in relative prices. The purpose of this paper is to provide a backward-looking analysis of how the...

This paper exploits the exogeneity of weather conditions to evaluate renewable energy (RE) subsidy programs in Germany and Spain in terms of their costs for reducing carbon dioxide emissions. We find that both the aggregate costs and the distribution of costs between energy producers and...

This report investigates the effect of increasing the number of wind turbine generators on energy generation in the Australian National Electricity Market’s (NEM) existing transmission grid from 2014 to 2025. This report answers urgent questions concerning the capability of the existing...

This report investigates the effect of increasing the number of wind turbine generators on carbon dioxide emission in the Australian National Electricity Market’s (NEM) existing transmission grid from 2014 to 2025. This report answers urgent questions concerning the capability of the existing...

Several studies have shown that the revenues of wind and solar power generators on spot markets (“market value”) decline with increasing deployment. This “value drop” is often discussed quantitatively but infrequently analytically, a gap that this paper aims to fill. We derive a formal...

Based on a Danish survey including respondents with on-shore viewshed experience and different degrees of off-shore viewshed experiences, it is estimated how the different types of wind power experience influence the preferences for extend wind power, biomass energy and solar energy should be...

The vast dissemination of renewable energy (RE) has been enhanced by government policy, with a commensurate increase in the trade of the components. Previous studies have analyzed the effect of policies and the knowledge stock of exporter countries on their export of RE components. However,...

In 2013 an energy reform was approved in Mexico to allow the participation of private firms in the energy sector, where their participation was restricted, creating one of the newest wholesale electricity markets.It has been noted that renewables face a significant and unique problem for their...
