Question: Does the Policy Advice Really Work?

Policy Dialogue with Governments: Fix the Enabling Environment to get RE Investment Flowing

March 13, 2014 5

Does the Policy Advice Really Work? Methodology:

Quantify enabling environment (EE) by

an index

Quantify RE potential, in MW, in

each country

Quantify RE potential, in MW,

actually realized in each country

Assess the RE realized as a

percentage of potential

Development hypothesis: percent RE realized depends

on EE Score

See if percent RE realized and EE

index are correlated

Enabling Environment: What are the dimensions? 1.  Existence of a Renewable Energy Policy 2.  Existence of a Renewable Energy Law 3.  Existence of Renewable Energy Target, e.g. 20% RPS 4.  RE Purchase Obligation, utility has to buy the power 5.  Tradable Instruments for RE (REC's, green tags, carbon credits) 6.  Feed-in Tariffs 7.  Grants / Capital Subsidies / Incentives, Tax credit for construction 8.  Incentives for Generation / Production Tax Credits 9.  Income Tax Holiday / Exemptions 10.  Customs Duty Exemption for importing equipment 11.  Other Exemptions (VAT, excise tax exemption)
