A capacity market for electricity sectors with promotion of renewable energy

Schäfer, Sebastian; Schulten, Lisa - 2014

A capacity mechanism next to the energy-only market provides necessary investment incentives that spot markets lack. The adequate capacity mix can only be achieved by accounting for the current transition phase to electricity generation with a growing share of renewables. We show that an...

Timing of adoption of clean technologies, transboundary pollution and international trade

Ben Jebli, Mehdi; Ben Youssef, Slim - 2013

The authors consider a symmetric model composed of two countries and a firm in each country. Firms produce the same good by means of a polluting technology which uses fossil energy. However, these firms can adopt a clean technology which uses a renewable energy having a lower unit cost....

Optimal policy identification : insights from the German electricity market

Herrmann, Johannes Karl; Savin, Ivan - 2016

this reason, many countries implement various policy instruments to support this process, also by re-distributing related … efficiency of different mixes of policy instruments by means of a Differential Evolution algorithm. Special emphasis of the model … policy mix of Germany introduced too strong and inflexible demand-side instruments (like feed-in tariff) too early, thereby …

Electricity externalities, siting, and the energy mix : a survey

Welsch, Heinz - 2016

While early literature on electricity externalities was largely concerned with fossil fuel power generation and the associated emissions, nuclear accidents (Chernobyl, Fukushima) and the large-scale deployment of renewable energy facilities have spurred a wave of research on the externalities of...

Wind electricity subsidies = windfall gains for land owners? : evidence from a feed-in tariff in Germany

Haan, Peter; Simmler, Martin - 2016

In 2013, around 121 billion US-Dollar were spend worldwide to promote the investment into renewable energy sources. The most prominent support scheme employed is a feed-in tariff, which guarantees a fixed price for electricity produced by renewable energies sources, usually for around 15 years...

Market power in interactive environmental and energy markets : the case of green certificates

Amundsen, Eirik Schrøder; Nese, Gjermund - 2016

Markets for environmental externalities are typically closely related to the markets causing such externalities, whereupon strategic interaction may result. Along these lines, the market for Tradable Green Certificates (TGCs) is strongly interwoven in the electricity market as the producers of...

Energy and emissions conflicts in urban areas

Conde, Touria Abdelkader B. - 2014

The main aim of this paper is to observe the environmental behaviour in some cities of the word, by analyzing for each city the trends of several energy and emissions indicators that appear as explanatory variables in both energy and labour average productivity equations. At the same time we...

Renewable energy and negative externalities : the effect of wind turbines on house prices

Droes, Martijn I.; Koster, Hans - 2014 - This version: 30 June 2014

SUMMARY - In many countries, wind turbines are constructed as part of a strategy to reduce fossil fuel dependence. In this paper, we measure the external effect of wind turbines on the transaction prices of nearby properties. Using a unique transaction price dataset covering the period 1985-2011...

Simultaneous use of black, green, and white certificates systems : a rather messy business

Amundsen, Eirik Schrøder; Bye, Torstein - 2016

We formulate a model with black, green and white certificates markets that function in conjunction with an electricity market. The markets function well in the sense that a common equilibrium solution exist, where all targets are satisfied (e.g. share of green electricity and share of energy...
