The Main Support Mechanisms to Finance Renewable Energy Development (2014, background): “Lesser and Su (2008) examined an economically efficient FIT structure to enhance renewable energy deployment, proposing a two-part FIT system that used both capacity-and market-based payments to achieve targets.”
Promoting renewable electricity generation in imperfect markets: Price vs. quantity policies (2008, positive): “While FIT have turned out to be very effective in countries such as Austria, Denmark, Germany and Spain (e.g. Bode and Groscurth, 2006; del Rı́o and Gual, 2007; del Rı́o, 2008; Lipp, 2007; Lesser and Su, 2008; Couture and Gagnon, 2010; Haas et al., 2011), they cause market distortions to increase wh”
Policymaker's Guide to Feed-in Tariff Policy Design (2010, background): “…2007, Lipp 2007, Lesser and Su 2008, Couture and Cory 2009, see also Germany BMU 2008a); • FITs may distort wholesale electricity market prices (Lesser and Su 2008, Menanteau et al. 2003); • FITs do not directly address the high up-front costs of RE technologies – instead, they are…”
The technical, geographical, and economic feasibility for solar energy to supply the energy needs of the US (2009, methodology): “To improve the efficiency of FIT programs, Lesser and Su (2008) have proposed a two-part model that involves both a capacity payment and a market-based energy payment.”
