“…For overcoming the situation, the authors suggest for auction (more specifically pay-as-bid auction) for alternative price setting mechanisms as of receiving actual bid for each market generator, again up to the uppermost market clearing bid. Further, for local industrial development, RE auction scheme may be seen as an opportunity and for this policy makers need to focus on the localization of production activities (Hansen et al, 2020;Bayer et al, 2018;Hochsteller and Kostka, 2015). Local content requirement (LCR) has a contributory role in NIMBY syndrome.…”

PRACTICING OF RENEWABLE ENERGY AUCTION SCHEME — EXPECTED SOCIETAL & ECONOMIC GAINS FOR THE DEVELOPING COUNTRIES

With the devastating impacts of climate change, it is evident that many polls show a shift in power generation from fossil fuels to renewable energy. To support this transition, flexible and adaptable support mechanisms are required to maintain a stable and attractive environment for investments in the renewable energy sector, while ensuring the reliability and sustainability of the energy system in an economical way. Auctions have gained momentum as a dominant strategy, either solely or in collaboration with supplementary trials, to provide incentives for renewable energy deployment. The auction mechanism has expanded widely, with only six states accepting Renewable Energy Sources (RES) auction in 2005, and at least 84 states adopting this tool by 2017. This study aims to explore the potential of the auction mechanism in promoting renewable energy in the developing countries like Bangladesh, which has yet to add the required capacity to its energy mix due to the lack of a suitable support scheme to achieve its carbon neutrality goal. The research outlines the opportunity to design auctions based on qualitative research along with levelised cost of electricity (LCOE) model as quantitative part, the impact of auctions on energy costs and thus the feasibility of suggested auctioning schemes based on country-specific empirical evidence and benefits to develop an auctioning model for the countries. The potential auction model will add further positive value to the society as well as the both local and national economy. The results indicate that a systematic auctioning scheme with socio-economic development instruments, under a qualification requirement, can ensure various benefits for an emerging state with renewable energy resources.

“…The wind power economy has become the main motivator for new installations. Outside of China (which has a feed-in tariff, or FIT, for wind power) and the United States (which offers tax credits and state renewable portfolio standards, or RPS), the global demand for wind power in 2019 was largely driven by other policy mechanisms, including auctions (or tenders), which exerted downward pressure on prices (Bayer et al, 2018;GWEC, 2018).…”

The increasing demand for electricity in Brazil has significant economic implications for the energy market. In this context, it is important to investigate alternative sources that can meet this demand, as well as understand the key factors that influence this process. The Wind power is considered one of the most promising sources, due to its exponential growth, cost-effectiveness, and continuous supply assurance. However, given the consolidation of fossil fuel sources in economic and technical terms, it is necessary to understand the factors of competitiveness that can be considered as potentials or constraints for the full development of wind energy. Thus, the overall objective of this research was to analyze the competitiveness factors of wind energy, using the Alto Sertão wind complex located in the state of Bahia as a case study. The methodology used in this research was based on an exploratory documentary approach, which sought regulated information from government agencies. The research predominantly used secondary data sources, combined with conducting interviews. The results indicate three factors that confer competitiveness to the sector. Unlike other states in the Northeast, which have a higher occurrence of winds along the coast, Bahia has its greatest wind potential concentrated in the interior, east of the São Francisco River, from the Espinhaço Range to municipality of Juazeiro - BA. This is due to low cloudiness and the process of high atmospheric pressure moving towards the Northeast, resulting in excellent quality winds for wind energy generation, which makes the region competitive.

“…Bayer, Berthold and Freitas [28] mentioned that Brazil has chosen to develop wind systems interconnected to the national main grid (Sistema Interligado Nacional) with the aim of complementing hydrology (precipitation) with wind regimes. However, Diógenes et al [19] suggested an alternative: the liberalization of the energy distribution market (free trade), where consumers can elect from which supplier, they wish to purchase energy.…”

The use of renewable sources for electricity generation has as main benefits the preservation of natural resources, security in the distribution of electricity and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Research has shown that the participation of wind in the Brazilian electrical matrix has increased considerably in recent years, despite the existence of multiple barriers to the implementation of wind farms in the country. This study aims to identify and evaluate the current barriers to the expansion of wind farms in Brazil, suggesting ways to overcome them. Based on a systematic review of the literature, the evaluation of the complexity level and associated risk, the barriers were categorized into seven groups. The results indicated that four barriers are more relevant in relation to the expansion of wind farms in Brazil: unstable macroeconomic environment, government policy uncertainty, system constraints, and lack of infrastructure. On this basis, apart from the recent growth of wind energy in Brazil, actions must be taken to mitigate the identified barriers, as the most complex barriers need government intervention to be removed or mitigated, since the electricity market is highly regulated and complex in Brazil. Further research is needed to rank and analyze more deeply the barriers that were identified here, through interviews with stakeholders and visits to wind farms.
