3 main frameworks (4.00 / 3)
  • feed-in tariffs
    producers that quality as 'renewable' get the right to sell to the grid all their production at a guaranteed price (Germany, France, Portugal);
  • green certificates
    producers that quality as 'renewable' get the right to sell 'green certificates' in addition to their electricity (which they must sell on the market like other producers). Green certificates have a value created either by a minimum price paid for them by regulation (Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium) or because non-renewable producers have an obligation to purchase a given volume of them (Australia, UK, Italy);
  • tax support
    producers that quality as 'renewable' get the right to tax breaks linked to initial investment costs (the Netherlands) or to actual production volumes (US federal PTC)
