Web Conference: Renewable Energy Feed-in Tariffs: Global Outlook and North American Report Card - Presentation and Recording
AltaTerra Research, Aug 2010, Pages: 67
Overview
Renewable energy feed-in tariffs (FiT) are arguably the world’s most successful policy mechanisms for stimulating the growth of renewable energy. In Europe, feed-in tariff programs have fueled unprecedented growth in the solar and wind industries--particularly in Germany, Spain, and Italy. After implementing a feed-in tariff program in 2007, Italy’s solar photovoltaics (PV) industry experienced a rapid increase in new installations, quickly surpassing the U.S. in new installations by the end of 2008, and in cumulative installations by the end of 2009. Feed-in tariffs continue to gain momentum around the world, in countries such as China and India—and now the U.S. and Canada.
In North America, more than a dozen U.S. and Canadian states have introduced feed-in tariff legislation, and other states have initiated or announced plans for feed-in tariff regulatory proceedings. Despite the increasing adoption of FiT programs across North America, not all FiT programs are equally effective at stimulating market growth. Limited program size, low project caps, and a lack of differentiation for different technologies threaten to limit the effectiveness of North American FiT programs.
In this online conference: AltaTerra Research welcomed back renewable energy feed-in tariff expert, Paul Gipe, to give the findings from his latest report, 'Grading North American Feed-in Tariffs,' in which he grades North American feed-in tariff programs and compares them to the European FiT programs. Mr. Gipe also provides a status update and perspective on the future of North American and global renewable energy feed-in tariffs programs. He reviews the latest in European FiT programs, including new successes and proposed solar rate cuts. This interactive online conference featured 30+ minutes of dedicated time for questions and discussion.
In addition to participant questions, Mr. Gipe answers the following:
- What is the latest status and update on the feed-in tariff programs in Europe – including Italy, France, Spain – and around the globe?
- How have feed-in tariffs stimulated rapid renewable energy market growth in Europe?
- What is the current pace of renewable energy installations in countries that have implemented feed-in tariff programs?
- Which jurisdictions have implemented feed-in tariffs in North America—and which areas are considering them?
- What are the barriers and challenges to the adoption and implementation of feed-in tariff programs in the U.S.?
- How well do North American feed-in tariff programs compare to European programs?
- What North American feed-in tariff programs are the most effective at stimulating market growth?
- How do you create a sustainable program that stimulates long-growth?
- How can feed-in tariffs help the U.S. meet climate change goals, improve energy security, and create jobs?

About the Presenter
Paul Gipe is an author, advocate, and renewable energy industry analyst. He has written extensively about renewable energy for both the popular and trade press. Mr. Gipe covers the latest feed-in tariff news in The Gipe Report and on his website www.wind-works.org. In 2004, Mr. Gipe launched a campaign to bring electricity feed laws back to North America. The campaign has grown into a continent-wide grassroots movement that has put renewable energy feed-in tariffs on the political agenda in Canada and the U.S.
