Feed-in Tariffs as a Policy Instrument for Promoting Renewable Energies and Green Economics in Developing Countries

Feed-in Tariffs as a Policy Instrument for Promoting Renewable Energies and Green Economies in Developing Countries (UNEP 2012)

Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) is counted as the most prevalent national renewable energy policy in the world, existent in 50 countries and with more than half of these being in developing countries. Through a general overview of FIT policies and design elements, the report draws broad and qualitative comparisons between FITs and other policy instruments available for scaling up renewables, as well as reviewing FIT designing issues and options, relevant policy considerations, and text from existing laws, as well as examining the various aspects of capacity needed to implement FIT successfully.
