Abstract | Most support schemes for electricity generation from renewable energy sources (RES-E) in Europe grant technology-specific subsidies. That is, they differentiate subsidies to RES-E plants on the basis of the energy source used, the technology employed, the size of the plant, or the location of the plant (or a combination of these). Technology-specific approaches have however been criticized for making the attainment of climate and energy targets – be it a greenhouse gas reduction target or a RES-E deployment target – unnecessarily costly (see, e.g., Frontier Economics and r2b, 2013; Jägemann, 2014; Jägemann et al., 2013). In turn, technology-neutral approaches to RES-E support have been praised for their costeffectiveness as they promote the deployment of the cheapest technologies first. |
