| Publisher Description: Feed-in tariffs-laws that provide a premium rate (tariff) over a fixed period of time for each unit of electricity fed into the grid-are one of the most cost-effective policy tools for accelerating the transition to a more sustainable energy system. Despite their increasingly widespread use, the effectiveness of feed-in tariffs can be hampered by poor design and inadequate implementation. This book, from authors who have spent years working on feed-in tariff design and advocacy, covers: an introduction to feed-in tariffs, how they work, and developments in key countries around the world (including in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, North and South America); an exploration of technical and social issues; an investigation of effective design, and other support schemes; a blueprint for campaigning for feed-in tariffs; and a compilation of further resources for those wishing to green their economy.Written in a clear, practical style, this is a must-read for any policymakers, businesses, investors, campaigners, academics and anyone concerned with creating successful and sustainable energy policy. |
