Renewable Electricity Incentives in Central and South America, 2011/2012: Investment and Operating Support Programme
London Research International Ltd, October 2011, Pages: 47
Renewable energy investment continued to grow throughout 2010, reaching $211 billion by year’s end. This report is an authoritative source allowing for quick and easy comparison of the latest incentives on offer for different renewable technologies in 11 Central and South American countries.
Choosing the right support system for investment
There are two types of subsidies relevant to power generation: operating support incentives, which are offered per unit of electricity produced; and investment support, which is usually awarded in the form of direct aid, soft loans or tax exemptions. Although investment support incentives are often substantial, they offer less security to prospective investors as the availability of funding often depends on lodging an early application, and the amount offered may not be known until after project details are presented.
Significant growth in several countries
Argentina, Brazil, and Chile all saw increasing levels of investment in 2010, with unprecedented growth in Mexico. Combining key electricity market statistics with an analysis of operating and investment incentives for each country, the report provides concise but comprehensive information regarding the climate for renewable electricity investment in Central and South America.
