Myriad policy measures aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the electricity sector, promote generation from … renewable sources, and encourage energy conservation. To what extent do innovation and energy efficiency (EE) market failures … lower electricity prices Even with multiple market failures, emissions pricing remains the single most cost-effective option …

We assess the optimality of investments in power grid innovation, under both technological options of Super and Smart … electricity generated by large scale concentrated solar power (CSP) plants in highly productive areas that are connected to the … relationships via Smart Meters; iii) residential consumer to generate electricity via micro-photovoltaic plants, and iv) residential …

the electricity generation sector as one of the major emitters of CO2. After a period of subsidy-driven investments, the … use a power systems model to simulate the whole European electricity market in 2030. Using the renewable revenues …

This paper studies innovation dynamics in efficiency improving electricity generation technologies as an important … means of mitigating climate change impacts. Relevant patents are identified and used as an indicator of innovation. We find … significant technology transfer in the field of efficiency improving technologies for electricity production. This flow of know …

This paper analyzes the effect of environmental policies on the direction of energy innovation across countries over … second regime, market-based policies are moderately effective in promoting renewable innovation, while command …-and-control policies depress fossil based innovation. Finally, market-based policies are more effective to consolidate a green comparative …
