Electricity Sector Transitions The Renewable Energy Policy Paradox Jorge Blazquez, Carlo Andrea Bollino, Rolando Fuentes, Nora Nezamuddin One major avenue for policymakers to meet climate targets is by decarbonizing the power sector, one component of which is raising the share of renewable energy sources (renewables) in electricity generation. However, promoting renewables in liberalized power markets creates a… Blazquez, Jorge Bollino, Carlo Andrea Fuentes, Rolando Nezamuddin, Nora
Electricity Sector Transitions Policy Instruments & Market Uncertainty: Exploring the Impact on Renewables Adoption Jorge Blazquez, Nora Nezamuddin Policymakers have a variety of financial tools to foster the deployment of renewables. Our study explores how these policy instruments impact a private investor’s behavior, and the resulting differences in the adoption of renewable technology as well as costs to… Blazquez, Jorge Nezamuddin, Nora
Electricity Sector Transitions Comparing Renewables Support Policies: Quantifying the Trade-Offs Jorge Blazquez, Nora Nezamuddin Policies to support wind energy development are most effective when they deliver power at the lowest cost per unit of added capacity and per unit of delivered electricity. Our analysis uses real Spanish onshore wind project data to identify which… Blazquez, Jorge Nezamuddin, Nora
Electricity Sector Transitions Changing Competitive Landscape: Transition Policy’s Blind Spots Shahad Albardi, Jorge Blazquez, Amro Elshurafa, Nora Nezamuddin For the past two to three decades, and particularly in the wake of the Great Recession, clean energy transitions have been sold as a three-for-the-price-ofone policy: creating “green collar” jobs to get the unemployed back to work, using domestic resources… Albardi, Shahad Blazquez, Jorge Elshurafa, Amro Nezamuddin, Nora
