The Effects of Regulation in Support of Renewable Energy: Momentum Builds in the UK

摘要

Deployment of renewables generally still requires government support to achieve commercial viability. We are providing this support through regulation and funding programmes; to encourage the early deployment of renewables in the UK, and to shorten the time taken for renewables to achieve full cost competitiveness. We have adopted medium term targets to stimulate growth in renewable energy generation and provide aa valuable market in which companies can develop their capabilities. These support mechani mechanisms sms are designed to achieve the targets and also to promote aa stable commercial framework, R&D, the commercialisation of new technologies, and the provision of necessary infrastructure. These programmes are outlined here, including anticipated future pol policy icy and support programmes and targets: Describes drivers and programmes. Addresses issues and evolution of support programmes–actions being considered to achieve government targets.
