Optimal siting of onshore wind turbines: Local disamenities matter

Lehmann, Paul; Reutter, Felix; Tafarte, Philip - 2021

The deployment of onshore wind power is an important means to mitigate climate change. However, wind turbines also produce local disamenities to residents living next to them, mainly due to noise emissions and visual effects. Our paper analyzes how the presence of local disamenities affects the...

Commitment vs. discretion in climate and energy policy

Habermacher, Florian; Lehmann, Paul - 2017

-off between policy commitment and discretion affects the optimal intertemporal design of policies to support the deployment of … renewable energy sources. Using a dynamic partial equilibrium model of the power sector, we show that commitment to state …-contingent renewable subsidies outperforms both unconditional commitment and discretion. The choice between the practically more feasible …

Can technology-specific deployment policies be cost-effective? : the case of renewable energy support schemes

Lehmann, Paul; Söderholm, Patrik - 2016

While there is relatively limited disagreement on the general need for supporting the deployment of renewable energy sources for electricity generation (RES-E), there are diverging views on whether the granted support levels should be technology-neutral or technology-specific. In this paper we...

The rationales for technology-specific renewable energy support : conceptual arguments and their relevance for Germany

Gawel, Erik; Lehmann, Paul; Purkus, Alexandra; … - 2016

In order to achieve cost-effective RES-E deployment it is often argued that technology-neutral support schemes for renewables are indispensable. Against this background, RES-E support policies making widely use of technology differentiation in remuneration settings, e.g. across the EU, are...

EU climate and energy policy beyond 2020 : are additional targets and instruments for renewables economically reasonable?

Sijm, Jos; Lehmann, Paul; Chewpreecha, Unnada; Gawel, Erik - 2014

The European Council has proposed to stick to a more ambitious GHG target but to scrap a binding RES target for the post-2020 period. This is in line with many existing assessments which demonstrate that additional RES policies impair the cost-effectiveness of addressing a single CO2...

The political economy of renewable energy policies in Germany and the EU

Strunz, Sebastian; Gawel, Erik; Lehmann, Paul - 2015

In this paper, we employ a public choice perspective to analyze the development of policies for renewable energy sources (RES) in the EU in general and in Germany more specifically. In doing so, we explain the main characteristics of current RES policies in the EU by reference to the...
