“…Member States have full autonomy in the choice of policy measures and have already implemented a wide set of instruments (Ecofys et al, 2011;Jacobsson et al, 2009; Ragwitz et al, 2011 and references therein). Kitzing et al (2012) find indications for a bottom-up convergence of policy choice. Indeed, the Commission expressed lately that "a greater convergence of national support schemes to facilitate trade and move towards a more pan-European approach to development of renewable energy sources must be pursued" (EC, 2011b, p. 11).…”

The Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies (RSCAS), created in 1992 and directed by Stefano Bartolini since September 2006, aims to develop inter-disciplinary and comparative research and to promote work on the major issues facing the process of integration and European society.The Centre is home to a large post-doctoral programme and hosts major research programmes and projects, and a range of working groups and ad hoc initiatives. The research agenda is organised around a set of core themes and is continuously evolving, reflecting the changing agenda of European integration and the expanding membership of the European Union.Details of the research of the Centre can be found on: http://www.eui.eu/RSCAS/Research/ Research publications take the form of Working Papers, Policy Papers, Distinguished Lectures and books. Most of these are also available on the RSCAS website: http://www.eui.eu/RSCAS/Publications/ The EUI and the RSCAS are not responsible for the opinion expressed by the author(s). Florence School of RegulationThe Florence School of Regulation (FSR) is a partnership between the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies (RSCAS) at the European University Institute (EUI), the Council of the European Energy Regulators (CEER) and the Independent Regulators Group (IRG). Moreover, as part of the EUI, the FSR works closely with the European Commission.The objectives of the FSR are to promote informed discussions on key policy issues, through workshops and seminars, to provide state-of-the-art training for practitioners (from European Commission, National Regulators and private companies), to produce analytical and empirical researches about regulated sectors, to network, and to exchange documents and ideas.At present, its scope is focused on the regulation of Energy (electricity and gas markets), of Communications & Media, and of Transport.This series of working papers aims at disseminating the work of scholars and practitioners on current regulatory issues. For further information AbstractWith the European Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET Plan) expiring in 2020, the EU needs to revisit its energy technology policy for the post-2020 horizon and to establish a policy framework that fosters the achievement of ambitious EU commitments for decarbonization by 2050. We discuss options for a post-2020 EU energy technology policy, taking account of uncertain technology developments and uncertain carbon prices. We propose a revised SET Plan that enables policy makers to be pro-active in pushing innovation in promising technologies, no matter what policy context will be realized in the future. In particular, we find that a revised SET Plan is needed to support EU market actors who face market failures with respect to financing innovation within a highly competitive global market for energy technologies. An extension of the current SET Plan and corresponding technology push policies is insufficient, as this does not allow policymakers to provide adequate support, especially in a policy context with low or zero...

“…Klessmann et al (2014) provide an overview of Member States' progress in implementing these cooperation mechanisms. While policy makers must coordinate their decisions when cooperating on joint projects and joint support schemes, they need to agree on a common policy type in case of joint support schemes (Kitzing et al, 2012 There are many options to coordinate remuneration schemes across Member States. For instance, remuneration levels or tariff adjustment mechanisms can be fully harmonised across the EU or adapted to regional conditions or national requirements.…”
