What role for microgeneration in a shift to a low carbon domestic energy sector in the UK? (2011, background): “If set too low, FITs will not significantly increase the number of installations, but if set too high, they could act as perverse incentives to waste heat or ‘dump’ electricity and trigger renewable generator investment at increasingly disproportionate cost to consumers ( Mitchell et al. 2006 ).”
The Price of Policy Risk - Empirical Insights from Choice Experiments with European Photovoltaic Project Developers (2012, unknown): “This has been offered as an explanation for why feed-in tariffs have resulted in higher levels of new renewable energy capacity than green certificate systems (Mitchell et al., 2006).”
Fostering a renewable energy technology industry: An international comparison of wind industry policy support mechanisms (2007, background): “…(RPS) in twenty-one US States (Wiser et al., 2005), as a national Mandatory Renewable Energy Target (MRET) in Australia (Australian Greenhouse Office, 2004), as a Renewables Obligation (RO) in the UK (Mitchell et al., 2006), and as the Special Measures Law in Japan (Nishio and Asano, 2003).”
Carbon Lock-Out: Advancing Renewable Energy Policy in Europe (2012, background): “between construction dates under quota systems also leads to a “dynamic disincentive to invest” in learning technologies: If a technology benefits from learning-by-doing and suffers from spillovers, there is a strong incentive to postpone an investment [25,37,40].”
Are renewable energy subsidies effective? Evidence from Europe (2017, background): “In the first line of research we find the analysis by Mitchell et al. (2006).”
Large-scale wind power in European electricity markets: Time for revisiting support schemes and market designs? (2010, background): “Feed-in tariff scheme is well-known to reduce uncertainty in revenue of wind power participants (Dinica, 2006; Mitchell et al, 2006).”
Which renewable energy policy is a venture capitalist's best friend? Empirical evidence from a survey of international cleantech investors (2009, background): “…Obligation in the UK are posing price, volume and balancing risks that only large, integrated energy companies tend to be able to overcome (Mitchell et al., 2006), which points to a possible positive correlation between feed-in tariffs and entrepreneurship in the renewable energy sector…”
