In light of the increasing climate change, policy makers have set ambitious targets for greenhouse gas emission. To achieve these targets, it is necessary to speed up the installation of renewable wind and solar power plants. This dynamic calls for an accelerated planning and permitting process...

This paper investigates the relation between financial participation and preferences for design elements as well as attitudes towards the energy transition. The design elements are used to characterise dimensions of the energy transition. Based on a survey of more than 1000 German citizens, we...

The paper analyzes the relationship between CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> mitigation policy and promotion policies designed to deploy renewable energy sources for electricity production (RES-E). If an emission cap is the only policy target, an optimal mix consisting of high and low carbon use of fossil fuels, deployment...</subscript>

The article is focused on the total historical and future costs of supporting photovoltaic elektricity generation in the Czech Republic. The model estimation of these costs is accompanied by methodologically unified comparison with cost of the support of other renewable energy resources. We find...

Faced with the energy transition imperative, governments have to decide about public policies to promote renewable electrical energy production and to protect domestic power generation equipment industries. These policies can generate trade frictions. For example, in the Canadian renewable...
