Tariffs have proven the most successful mechanism for stimulating investment in renewable electricity generation worldwide. Renewable
Tariffs have resulted in more installed
generating capacity and more robust competition among manufacturers and have stimulated more renewable technology development than any
other policy mechanism.Ó

Energy Policy Mechanisms.

¥ ÒTo
date, feed-in or pricing systems have been responsible for most of the
additions in renewable energy capacity
and generation, while also driving down costs through technology advancement and economies of scale, and
developing domestic industries and jobs. Pricing
systems, where well-implemented, have provided increased predictability and consistency in markets, which in turn has encouraged
banks and other financial institutions to
provide the capital required for investment, and has attracted private
investment for R&D.Ó

(REFITs) have shown the best effectiveness
concerning the creation of new RES installations.

enables a quick and broad implementation
of renewable energy, better supports its technological development, as well as more efficiently promotes cost reduction.Ó
