Abstract:
Over the last decade Germany has boosted renewable energy in power production by means of massive subsidies. The ip side arevery high electricity prices which raises concerns that the transition
cost towards a renewable energy system will be mainly borne by poor
households. In this paper, we combine computable general equilibrium
and microsimulation analysis to investigate the cost-effectiveness and incidence of Germany's renewable energy promotion. We find that the regressive effects of renewable energy promotion could be ameliorated
by alternative subsidy financing mechanisms which achieve the same
level of electricity generation from renewable energy sources.
