Overview
This web conference was the first event in AltaTerra Research's Solar Money & Markets series.
A feed-in tariff (FIT) is a policy mechanism that simply pays renewable energy generators a fair price for their electricity. Feed-in tariffs are the world’s most successful policy mechanism for the rapid development of renewable energy. They have been most successful in Europe, but are becoming increasingly common in North America.
The tariff is a payment per kilowatt-hour for electricity generated by a renewable resource. Germany, Spain and a host of other countries have used feed-in tariffs to drive unprecedented wind and solar power market growth during the last several years. The price or tariff paid is based on the 'cost of generation plus a reasonable profit”, the same principle used by regulatory commissions in establishing rates for electricity from conventional generators.
Despite their success elsewhere, feed-in tariffs were 'unthinkable” in North America as recently as six years ago. Since 2007, however, more than a dozen U.S. states have introduced feed-in tariff legislation and other states have initiated or announced plans for feed-in tariff regulatory proceedings. And, feed-in tariffs continue to gain momentum throughout North America and in developing countries, such as China, India and Mongolia.
This web conference walks through the latest developments in the rapidly evolving continental feed-in tariff debate and outline challenges and opportunities for the renewable energy industry.
