Abstract

The goal of increasing the share of renewable energy sources (RES) in total primary energy supply (TPES) as well as in electricity production in an enlarged European Union (EU-28) will be a challenging one and most likely will be addressed by a mix of promotion instruments. Mischa Bechberger and Danyel Reiche take a look at the implications for renewables in an enlarged EU. The most prominent policies in the case of electricity are renewable energy feed-in tariffs (REFIT) and quota systems, but also others like tenders, energy tax exemptions, and environmental funds in the form of investment subsidies, and soft loans are playing a part.
