Strategic choices for renewable energy investment: Conceptual framework and opportunities for further research (2012, background): “…and Burtraw, 2005), while several authors in Energy Policy have pointed out that their implementation in real life suffers from limitations like market power and transaction cost (Jensen and Skytte, 2002; Menanteau et al., 2003; Verbruggen, 2004; Jacobsson et al., 2009; Bergek and Jacobsson, 2010).”
The impact of environmental policy instruments on innovation: A review of energy and automotive industry studies (2014, background): “…in 2008, for example, 70% of the renewable production in the system consisted of biomass-based electricity production in industrial back-pressure plants and combined heat and power plants, whereas novel technologies found it hard to compete within the TGC regime (Bergek and Jacobsson, 2010).”
Promoting renewable electricity generation in imperfect markets: Price vs. quantity policies (2008, background): “competitive and efficient may, especially in poorly designed or managed schemes, be quite a strong one (e.g. Nilsson and Sundqvist, 2007; Söderholm, 2008; Bergek and Jacobsson, 2010; Wood and Dow, 2011).”
How do policies mobilize private finance for renewable energy?—A systematic review with an investor perspective (2019, background): “Because RPSs favour mature (and more cost-effective) technologies, they tend to discourage the introduction of new technologies [122,133,134].”
Carbon Lock-Out: Advancing Renewable Energy Policy in Europe (2012, background): “In the Swedish tradable certificate scheme, observed rents amounted to as much as 55–75% of the overall remuneration paid to electricity producers [39].”
