  • Feed-in Tariffs

    Accelerating the Deployment of Renewable Energy

    by Miguel Mendonça ...
    A feed-in tariff is a renewable energy law that obliges energy suppliers to buy electricity produced from renewable resources at a fixed price, usually over a fixed period - even from householders. These legal guarantees ensure investment security, and the support of all viable renewable energy technologies. Supporters argue that the feed-in model, if implemented effectively around the world, ... Read more
