“…Other measures proposed to identify optimal host regions or communities and necessary compensation payments, like auctions [98][99][100] and mechanism design approaches [101,102] find little consideration. They abstract from essential geographic conditions, like wind, sun, land or local demand and again, they can crowd-out community motivations to support RES-E more generally [96].…”

Carbon Lock-Out: Advancing Renewable Energy Policy in Europe

As part of its climate strategy, the EU aims at increasing the share of electricity from renewable energy sources (RES-E) in overall electricity generation. Attaining this target poses a considerable challenge as the electricity sector is "locked" into a carbon-intensive system, which hampers the adoption of RES-E technologies. Electricity generation, transmission and distribution grids as well as storage and demand response are subject to important path dependences, which put existing, non-renewable energy sources at an advantage. This paper examines how an EU framework for RES-E support policies should be designed to facilitate a carbon lock-out. For this purpose, we specify the major technological, economic and institutional barriers to RES-E. For each of the barriers, a policy review is carried out which assesses the performance of existing policy instruments and identifies needs for reform. The review reveals several shortcomings: while policies targeting generation are widely in place, measures to address barriers associated with OPEN ACCESSEnergies 2012, 5 324 electricity grids, storage and demand are still in their infancy and have to be extended. Moreover, the implementation of policies has been fragmented across EU Member States. In this respect, national policies should be embedded into an integrated EU-wide planning of the RES-E system with overarching energy scenarios and partially harmonized policy rules.

“…The mechanisms in E appear to be also appealing alternatives to the Pivotal mechanisms 15 which violate some important fairness axioms such as egalitarian-equivalence, solidarity,  −bounded-deficit, and population monotonicity (as population decreases, no one benefits, see Yengin, 2011c). On the other hand, we can design Egalitarian mechanisms that satisfy all of these axioms.…”

“…the absence of the need to determine the level of production of the objects is crucial. Note that our model can also be applied to problems where agents privately supply discrete public goods (see Yengin, 2011b, for more details). Assume that there is no question of whether or how much of each public good is to be provided (e.g., building a waste disposal site, siting state capitals).…”

In the problem of assigning indivisible goods and monetary transfers, we characterize welfareegalitarian mechanisms (that are decision-efficient and incentive compatible) with an axiom of solidarity under preference changes and a fair ranking axiom of order preservation. This result is in line with characterizations of egalitarian rules with solidarity in other economic models. We also show that we can replace order-preservation with egalitarian-equivalence or no-envy (on the subadditive domain) and still characterize the welfare-egalitarian class. However, if we weaken order preservation to symmetry, mechanisms that are not welfare-egalitarian exist. We also study upper bounds on deficit and welfare lower bounds that characterize subclasses of the welfare-egalitarian class. JEL Classifications: C79, D61, D63.
