Download or read book Regulatory Support for Off Grid Renewable Electricity written by Ngozi Chinwa Ole and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-02-02 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the role of law in enabling and addressing the barriers to the development of off-grid renewable electricity (OGRE). The limited development of OGRE is ascribed to a host of social, economic, and legal barriers, including the problem of initial capital costs, existing subsidies for conventional electricity, and lack of technological and institutional capacity. Through the analyses of selected case studies from Africa, Asia, Europe and North and South America, this book discusses the typical barriers to the development of OGRE from a global perspective and examines the role of the law in addressing them. Drawing together the lessons learnt from the case studies, this book offers robust recommendations on how the development of OGRE will support the goal of achieving universal access to low carbon, reliable, and sustainable electricity globally. This volume will be of great interest to students, scholars, policy makers, investors, and practitioners in the fields of energy law and policy, climate change, and renewable energy development.

Download or read book Renewable Energy Sources written by Lise Bosman and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2013-01-06 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years African countries have taken great strides in their response to the demand for reliable contractual and institutional forms of doing business and for high-quality dispute resolution mechanisms. Modern international arbitration has taken root, with certain countries actively embracing modern harmonized arbitral practice, and others in the process of change and development. This unprecedented volume assembles for the first time a country-by-country analysis – both practical and insightful – of how arbitration is conducted in 46 African countries, providing essential information about legislative provisions, treaty adherence, and arbitral procedure. Contributors include current and former judges, distinguished practitioners, academics, and institution-builders, all of whom are active in promoting the use of arbitration as a viable means of dispute resolution in Africa. Five sections representing the main regions of the continent, each with a substantive introductory chapter covering the major trends within that region, offer country overviews addressing issues such as the following: ; adherence to the key arbitration conventions; the modernity of a State’s arbitration legislation and its compatibility with the UNCITRAL Model Law; particular features of arbitral practice in that jurisdiction; access to and (where available) statistics from local and regional arbitral institutions; significant arbitration-related national case law; and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards. A sixth section focuses on Africa-based investor-State arbitration, providing an empirical analysis of the experience and record of African States with investment treaties and investor-State arbitration. Useful tables of intra-African bilateral investment treaties, a list of ICSID proceedings involving African States, and other tabular features round out the volume. The book will be welcomed by arbitration practitioners and legal academics everywhere as the essential guiding light in what is rapidly becoming a crucially important area of international arbitration practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. and global energy sectors are changing rapidly, considering concerns about climate change. Recent U.S. legislation provides substantial incentives for renewable energy, and individual states increasingly mandate and incentivize renewable technologies. A critical component of this movement toward renewable energy resides at the household level. A growing number of electricity consumers are installing solar panels on their rooftops and attempting to sell excess electricity from these panels back to the utility through the electric grid--a practice called net metering. A vast majority of states adopted net metering policies to build renewable infrastructure closer to electric customers, called distributed generation. Net metering's goal was to aid in developing a strategy for more renewable energy integration, encourage private investment, and harness the benefits distributed generation offers to the electrical grid. Although each state has different net metering laws, Pennsylvania found itself amid controversy over its net metering laws. Pennsylvania's net metering policy, called the Alternative Energy Portfolio Standards (AEPS) act, has a workaround that allows wholesale market participants (merchant generators) to qualify as a net metered facility, referred to as a customer-generator. The Public Utility Commission (PUC) of Pennsylvania addressed the workaround in an amendment restricting merchant generators from qualifying as customer-generator. The PUC based its concerns on the cascading financial impacts the workaround has on electric distribution companies (EDCs) and electric generation suppliers (EGSs). These financial impacts result in higher retail rates, disproportionately impact non-participating customers. However, solar developers claim that restricting the AEPS will unjustly stifle Pennsylvania's renewable growth. This action by the PUC prompted a legal case that addressed regulatory uncertainty faced by participants, EDCs, and EGSs when determining if a project should be approved (Sunrise Energy, LLC v. FirstEnergy Corp. and West Penn Power Company 2016). Also, it brought into question the impact the merchant generator workaround has on non-participating customers and the state's renewable growth goals. Ultimately, the courts decided to side with the original language of the AEPS and rejected the PUC's concerns about the impact of the merchant generator workaround ("Alternative Energy Portfolio Standards Act" 2007). The AEPS policy has a 15-year schedule that stops increasing renewable participation after 2020 (Sunrise Energy, LLC v. FirstEnergy Corp. and West Penn Power Company 2016). If Pennsylvania wants to expand net metering participation, it will need to revise its compensation structure and reconsider the detrimental impacts of the merchant generator workaround. Arizona took a different approach toward its net metering policy. Arizona decided to end net metering to create an equitable system that can scale rooftop solar without cascading financial impacts to utilities and shifting Avoided Costs to non-solar-owning customers. The Arizona commission explored two alternative compensation methodologies: Avoided Cost and Resource Comparison Proxy. The Avoided Cost Methodology, uses a five-year forecasting to evaluate eligible costs and values of energy, capacity, and other services delivered to the grid from distributed generation" (Pyper 2016). The Resource Comparison Proxy (RCP) methodology uses a "five-year rolling average of a utility's solar PPAs and utility-owned solar projects as a proxy for the valuation of distributed solar exports, to be reassessed every few years in each electric utility's rate case" (Pyper 2016). These methods are a step to accurately compensate for distributed generation and recognize its benefits to transmission, distribution, and generation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While islands are particularly vulnerable to climate change, they enjoy a naturally high potential of renewable energy sources to harness. Many islands have abundant renewable energy potential, which can be tapped to lead decarbonisation. However, access to reliable, clean and competitive sources of energy remains a main concern of island communities in the EU. Although it is often technically and financially possible to develop renewable energy projects on islands, legal and regulatory frameworks, whether EU, national, regional or local, are not always fitfor purpose. In order to better understand how legal and regulatory frameworks help or hinder the development of local decarbonised energy systems on EU islands of seven specific Member States, the Clean energy for EU islands secretariat examined the frameworks of Greece, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Croatia and Estonia. The study identifies regulatory and policy barriers to the clean energy transition on the islands and formulates concrete recommendations to overcome them. For each of the Member States these findings were discussed with diverse national stakeholders in two online Focus Group Meetings and a physical National Stakeholder Meeting. This study is deliverable of the Task Force 2 - Think Tank on legislation and regulation for islands of the Clean energy for EU islands secretariat. It builds further on the Regulatory inventory of legal and regulatory national frameworks that support clean energy development for 15 Member States, available online on the website of the Clean energy for EU islands secretariat.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapidly declining costs of wind and solar energy technologies, increasing concerns about the environmental and climate change impacts of fossil fuels, and sustained investment in renewable energy projects all point to a not-so-distant future in which renewable energy plays a pivotal role in the electric power system of the 21st century. In light of public pressures and market factors that hasten the transition towards a low-carbon system, power system planners and regulators are preparing to integrate higher levels of variable renewable generation into the grid. Updating the regulations that govern generator interconnections and operations is crucial to ensure system reliability while creating an enabling environment for renewable energy development. This report presents a chronological review of energy laws and regulations concerning grid interconnection procedures in the United States, highlighting the consequences of policies for renewable energy interconnections. Where appropriate, this report places interconnection policies and their impacts on renewable energy within the broader context of power market reform.
