Sustainability-guided promotion of renewable electricity generation
Reinhard Madlener,Sigrid Stagl +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a methodology for the design of renewable energy policy instruments that is based on integrated assessment, and they argued that using participatory multicriteria evaluation as part of the design renewable energy promotion policies would make it possible to differentiate the level of promotion in a systematic and transparent manner according to their socio-ecological economic impact, and explicitly account for the preferences of stakeholders.

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.
