Redistribution Effects of Energy and Climate Policy : The Electricity Market
Hirth, Lion; Ueckerdt, Falko - 2015
policies redistribute wealth between consumers and producers, and within these groups. While redistribution is seldom the focus … the redistribution effects of two major electricity policies: support schemes for renewable energy sources, and CO2 … pricing. We find that the redistribution effects of both policies are large, and they work in opposed directions: while …

The impact of policy measures on future power generation portfolio and infrastructure : a combined electricity and CCTS investment and dispatch model (ELCO)
Mendelevitch, Roman; Oei, Pao-Yu - 2015
This paper presents a general electricity-CO2 (ELCO) modeling framework that is able to simulate interactions of the energy-only market with different forms for national policy measures. We set up a two sector model where players can invest into various types of generation technologies including...

Second-best analysis of European energy policy : is one bird in the hand worth two in the bush?
Hübler, Michael; Schenker, Oliver; Fischer, Carolyn - 2015
This paper studies policy instruments that correct insufficient learning-by-doing (LbD) and research and development (R&D) of renewable electricity technologies and insufficient investments in energy efficiency (EE) in the presence of carbon pricing. The theoretical model analysis shows how to...

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...

Comparison between China, the EU and the US's climate and energy governance : how policies are made and implemented at different levels
Lu, Xinqing; Zhu, Erpu; Campbell, Loyle; Hafner, Manfred; … - 2021
This paper compares the different multi-level climate and energy governance in China, the European Union and the United States. While many comparisons across these three economies exist, they concentrate on comparing the climate and energy "policy instruments" and their results. This paper puts...

Carbon prices are redundant in the 2030 EU climate and energy policy package
Aune, Finn Roar; Golombek, Rolf - 2018
In June 2018, an agreement between key EU institutions - the Commission, the European Parliament, and the European Council - was reached after a long-lasting discourse over the 2030 EU climate and energy policy package. This paper offers a comprehensive assessment of the EU package, with its...

Law, Policy, and the Future of Solar Financing
Payne, Heather - 2017
All forms of renewable energy are at an inflection point. Falling costs, changing technology, and new environmental and climate regulations have all moved to exponentially increase the growth of renewable energy. How legal terms, such as "qualifying facility" under PURPA are interpreted and...

Decarbonization of the U.S. Electricity Sector : Are State Energy Policy Portfolios the Solution?
Carley, Sanya - 2014
State governments have taken the lead on U.S. energy and climate policy. It is not yet clear, however, whether state energy policy portfolios can generate results in a similar magnitude or manner to their presumed carbon mitigation potential. This article seeks to address this lack of policy...

Harnessing electricity retail tariffs to support climate change policy
Ryan, Lisa; La Monaca, Sarah; Mastrandrea, Linda; … - 2018
Legacy electricity retail tariffs are ill-adapted to future electricity systems and markets, particularly with regard to accommodating the multi-faceted shift toward decarbonisation. We examine how retail tariffs need to be reformed to not only meet the future revenue requirements of...
