• Policymaker's Guide to Feed-in Tariff Policy Design (2010, methodology): “Although a constant premium is simpler in design, it risks creating windfall profits for RE developers if spot market prices for electricity increase significantly (Mendonça et al. 2009a, Ragwitz et al. 2007, Klein 2008).”
• Promoting renewable electricity generation in emerging economies (2013, background): “6 On the other hand, European countries have instituted different generation-based incentives, and according to their experience FITs are superior to auction-based ones: Deployment levels in countries that applied auctions, such as France, Ireland, or the United Kingdom, lag behind those that have b”
• Carbon Lock-Out: Advancing Renewable Energy Policy in Europe (2012, background): “To control the effectiveness and efficiency of FIT systems, it is crucial to install a feedback mechanism which automatically and promptly adjusts the remuneration to changes in real technology costs [32,41,42].”
• An analysis of residential PV system price differences between the United States and Germany (2013, background): “German PVmarket growth and rapidly falling prices also may have been facilitated by the regularly adjusted FiT, which has provided a simpler, more certain, and more lasting value proposition to the final customer (e.g. Haas et al., 2011; Klessmann et al., 2013; Mendonca, 2009) compared to U.”
• The Political Economy of Energy Transitions: The Case of South Africa (2014, background): “…feed-in tariff sets a fixed price for the purchase of renewable energy higher than that of the retail price for each unit of electricity fed into the grid, a competitive bidding system invites potential project developers to submit bids for a renewable energy contract (Mendonça et al. 2010: 174).”
• Energy democracy: Goals and policy instruments for sociotechnical transitions (2017, background): “While FITs have been adopted globally (with Germany’s FIT being highly influential) and have been shown to be one of the most effective instruments for advancing renewable energy and creating jobs, they do require good policy design, for example, appropriate and transparent pricing schemes [71].”
