1. Can't buy me acceptance? Financial benefits for wind energy projects in Germany

Author:
Jakob Knauf
Source:
Energy policy 2022 v.165 pp. 112924
ISSN:
0301-4215
Subject:
electricity; energy policy; wind power; Germany; North America
Abstract:
... Local opposition to wind energy projects in Europe and North America is growing. This often causes project delays or even failure. Financial benefits may be one way to counteract a lack of community support. This analysis seeks to explain how discounted electricity, payments to the municipality, and payments for social purposes shift the acceptance of communities about a local wind energy project. ...

Energy policy 2022 v.165 pp. 112972
ISSN:
0301-4215
Subject:
energy policy; tariffs; uncertainty
Abstract:
... While volume-based grid tariffs have been the norm for residential consumers, capacity-based tariffs will become more relevant with the increasing electrification of society. A further development is capacity subscription, where consumers are financially penalised for exceeding their subscribed capacity, or alternatively their demand is limited to the subscribed level. The penalty or limitation ca ...

Abstract:
... Minimum efficiency standards for products such as appliances are economically efficient when they correct a market failure. Negative ramifications of these standards, particularly for credit constrained or low-income consumers, such as increased prices or decreased choice, are contingent on the pricing behavior of suppliers. We use market point of sales data to estimate the change in price and eff ...

Abstract:
... Despite nearly over 30 years of efforts, power connectivity in the GMS remains rather low, limited to a few uncoordinated bilateral exchanges of electricity. Much of the existing thinking attributes this slow progress to factors that are proximate to the electricity industry, namely, insufficient infrastructure, lack of technical competence, and uncoordinated regulation. Through an analysis of the ...

energy costs; energy policy; models; petroleum; prices; social welfare; China
Abstract:
... Petroleum product price regulations are usually adopted to alleviate the shocks of crude oil price volatility on macroeconomy by adjusting the petroleum product price. However, the regulation can contribute to social welfare by alleviating the price shock on the one hand, but it can reduce welfare due to its price distortions on the other hand. Thus, this study assessed the net social welfare effe ...

Using data on the universe of commercial wind energy installations from 1995 to 2018, we find that wind energy installation led to economically meaningful increases in county GDP per-capita, income per-capita, median household income, and median home values. We also find evidence that while w ...
