What drives the development of community energy in Europe? The case of wind power cooperatives
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the factors likely to foster citizen and community participation as regards wind power cooperatives in Denmark, Germany, Belgium and the UK using Elinor Ostrom's Social-Ecological System Framework, highlighting a double-edged phenomenon: prevailing and growing hostility toward cooperatives on the one hand, and, on the other, strategic reactions to this evolution.

Renewable energy policies in Europe: Converging or diverging?
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated how the EU member states have applied support policy types over the last decade and identified predominant developments in the application of feed-in tariffs, premiums, tradeable green certificates, tax incentives, investment grants, and financing support for specific technologies (wind, biomass, PV).

Public policy influence on renewable energy investments—A panel data study across OECD countries
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the impact of public policy measures on renewable energy investments in electricity-generating capacity made by institutional investors, and investigated the influence of different policy measures in a sample of OECD countries to suggest an effective policy mix which could tackle failures in the market for clean energy.

The Economics of Climate Change
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an appropriate way to examine the economics of climate change, given the unique scientific and economic challenges posed, and suggest implications for emissions targets, policy instruments, and global action.

Economics Of Climate Change
TL;DR: In this article, climate change economics attends to this issue by offering theoretical insights and empirical findings relevant to the design of policies to reduce, avoid, or adapt to climate change, which has yielded new estimates of mitigation benefits, improved understanding of costs in the presence of various market distortions or imperfections, better tools for making policy choices under uncertainty, and alternate mechanisms for allowing flexibility in policy responses.

The politics and policy of energy system transformation—explaining the German diffusion of renewable energy technology
Staffan Jacobsson,Volkmar Lauber +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the reasons for the particularly rapid spread of two such technologies in Germany, wind turbines and solar cells, and trace this diffusion to the nature of the policy instruments employed and to the political process which led to the adoption of these instruments.

Prices versus quantities: choosing policies for promoting the development of renewable energy
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the efficiency of different incentive schemes for the development of renewable energy sources, both from a theoretical point of view by comparing price-based approaches with quantity-based approach, and from a practical view by looking at concrete examples of how these different instruments have been implemented.

Comparison of feed-in tariff, quota and auction mechanisms to support wind power development
Lucy Butler,Karsten Neuhoff +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison of support schemes for market-based deployment of renewable energy in the UK and Germany shows that the feed-in tariff reduces costs to consumers and results in larger deployment.
