Feed-in Tariffs Do More for Wind at Less Cost to Ratepayers than RPS Says German Agency

In North America, the quota model is known variously as Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) or Renewable Energy Standards. The agency, the Agentur für Erneuerbare Energien, says that RPS-related tendering programs raise the payments for wind energy in Europe to as much as €0.15/kWh ($0.19/kWh) in Italy. In contrast, Germany, which uses a feed-in tariff, pays only €0.089/kWh ($0.11/kWh). Spain, which also uses a feed-in tariff, pays even less. Germany operates the most wind energy capacity in Europe, 29,000 MW, Spain follows with nearly 22,000 MW. Italian wind generation has fallen behind electricity generation from solar photovoltaics for the first time in an industrialized country. Italy uses feed-in tariffs to pay for solar energy instead of a trading system in green certificates, one of the hallmarks of a quota system. Great Britain, which also uses a quota system for l...
