On the economics of renewable energy sources (2013, background): “The literature has identified temporal variability, uncertainty, and the fact that they are bound to certain locations as key properties of variable renewables (Milligan et al., 2011; Sims et al., 2011; Borenstein, 2012).”
Effectiveness of climate policies: Carbon pricing vs. subsidizing renewables (2021, background): “Many economists thus argue that pricing emissions may represent a first-best policy, leading to effective emissions abatement at lowest possible costs (e.g. Borenstein, 2012).”
Intermittent and stochastic character of renewable energy sources: Consequences, cost of intermittence and benefit of forecasting (2018, background): “The temporal variation 202 in the electricity production, more important for ISRES, and the electrical grid operator’s work 203 to balance this variation affects the energy cost [20].”
Identifying barriers to large-scale integration of variable renewable electricity into the electricity market : A literature review of market design (2018, unknown): “wind and solar), plays an indispensable role in replacing fossil-fired electricity production that, next to climate change, cause other negative externalities including air pollution and energy insecurity [103,13,81,89].”
The European renewable energy target for 2030 – An impact assessment of the electricity sector (2015, background): “…to its potential co-benefits, such as employment effects, local added value, additional environmental benefits and industrial policy (Edenhofer et al., 2013a, 2013b; Lehmann and Gawel, 2013; Bruckner et al., 2014), although the evidence of these co-benefits is highly disputed (Borenstein, 2012).”
Connecting the sustainable development goals by their energy inter-linkages (2018, background): “[+1] medium high medium Aether (2016); Babiker and Eckaus (2007); Bertram et al. (2015); Blyth et al. (2014); Borenstein (2012); Creutzig et al. (2013); Clarke et al. (2014); Dechezleprêtre and Sato (2014); Dinkelman (2011); Fankhauser et al. (2008); Ferroukhi et al. (2016); Frondel et al. (2010);…”
Market value of solar power: Is photovoltaics cost-competitive? (2015, background): “Opportunity costs are quite well represented by wholesale electricity prices – to the extent that externalities of power generation [25 – 27] are internalized.”
System LCOE: What are the Costs of Variable Renewables? (2013, unknown): “They are a common metric for calculating the costs of generating technologies in the power sector (for example Karlynn & Schwabe 2009; IPCC 2011; Borenstein 2011; Kost et al. 2012).”
