Lessons from MS experience tell us how to design effective and efficient RES-E support schemes
18/04/23 Dr. Corinna Klessmann, Dr. Isabelle de Lovinfosse
Provide reliable framework: frequent and unexpected policy changes undermine investor confidence
• Policy changes transparent and predictable (e.g. automatic degression, clear formula for quota setting, pre-set revision agenda)
• No retroactive changes• Long term political commitment• Guarantee support level for long term • Consultation with stakeholders
Lessons learnt Best practice design criteria
Reflect and limit investment risks: risk-conscious (triple-A) policies
increase growth and reduce support costs by up to 50%
• Tailor support scheme to RE market deployment status and electricity market readiness
• No abrupt or retroactive policy changes• Avoid rigid budget or capacity caps• Simple, transparent permitting process • Priority grid access and dispatch• Quota: long term horizon and serious penalties• Government facilitates access to capital (e.g.
participation, financial guarantees, loans)
Adjust level of support to technology and market conditions
• Apply technology specific support levels• Calculate level of support based on LCOE, so
support neither too low nor too high• Planned and transparent adjustments based on
technology and market changes
