Title: Renewable Energy Development Incentives: Strengths, Weaknesses and the Interplay

Journal Article · · Electricity Journal

Most existing mechanisms cannot be relied on to achieve long-term growth of renewable energy, either because of their own weaknesses or because of unpredictable variables. If there is widespread support for pursuing the benefits of renewable energy, then its growth should be ensured through ambitious, long-term, and widespread mandatory objectives, rather than by relying on voluntary choices or competitive forces.
