Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:This study intends to evaluate the relationship between the use of feed-in tariffs and the deployment of renewable energies. We collected a sample of 28 EU countries for the period 1990-2017. Following a panel data approach, we performed a random effects estimation. Among the several explanatory variables, feed-in tariffs, discriminated by different renewable energies’ technologies, are defined as the variables of interest in explaining the share of the electricity capacity generated by non-hydro renewable sources. The results suggest that only Wind and Waste impact the dependent variable allied to the share of electricity produced from both nuclear and fossil fuel sources and the prices of traditional energy sources. The previous findings are robust for OECD member countries and also for countries where feed-in tariffs are applied at least once in the period considered.
