Wind power development in Sweden: Global policies and local obstacles (2007, background): “1 For additional country studies of wind power development, see, for instance, [ 62 ] (USA), [63] (Spain), and”
Are renewable energy subsidies effective? Evidence from Europe (2017, background): “Bird et al. (2005) focus on wind power development in the US and suggest that state tax and financial incentives, as well as State renewable portfolio standards (which are a kind of green certificate mechanism), have an important effect on energy development.”
Do renewable electricity policies promote renewable electricity generation? Evidence from panel data (2013, background): “The majority of the literature on the effectiveness of RE policies relies on exploratory analyses and case studies (Berry and Jaccard, 2001; Bird et al., 2005; Gan et al., 2007; Zarnikau, 2011).”
Simulating price patterns for tradable green certificates to promote electricity generation from wind (2007, background): “The PTC has led to substantial investment in wind generation in the USA, and the feed-in tariff has led to similar success in Denmark, Germany and Spain (Bird et al., 2005; Haas, 2000).”
Fostering a renewable energy technology industry: An international comparison of wind industry policy support mechanisms (2007, background): “Since nearly all of these programs have only been implemented recently, their impact on wind power development has so far been relatively modest; wind power development in the US has been tied in part to the implementation of state RPS, however, and the market for wind in the UK is also beginning to”
Determinants of Renewable Energy Growth: A Global Sample Analysis (2014, background): “Most of the available literature discussing policies and other factors affecting renewable energy deployment is qualitative and theoretical (see as examples Bird et al., 2005; Gan et al., 2007; Harmelink et al., 2006; Wang, 2006).”
Climate policy innovation in the South – Domestic and international determinants of renewable energy policies in developing and emerging countries (2014, background): “In the energy field, increased energy demand and volatile or rising fossil fuel prices may make governments more willing to promote RE due to energy security concerns, especially if they rely on fuel or electricity imports (Bird et al., 2005; Marques et al., 2010).”
Public policy influence on renewable energy investments—A panel data study across OECD countries (2015, background): “Third, policy makers have the option to provide funds to local authorities to be spent on RE deployment (i.e. funds to subnational governments) (Bird et al., 2005; De Jager et al., 2008; Menz and Vachon, 2006; Ragwitz et al., 2008) or directly invest in complementary assets such as infrastructure…”
Green electricity policies in the United States : case study (2005, background): “…are 1.5 cents/kilowatt-hour (kWh) adjusted for inflation (currently, 1.8 cents/kWh) for the entire output of a qualifying facility during the first 10 years of its operation.6 The federal production tax credit has played an important role in recent wind energy development (Bird et al., 2003).”
