Renewable energy (RE) has been insulated from market dynamics in most energy systems to stimulate investments and to offer an appropriate incentive, particularly for small and private investors. However, some decades since their first implementation, and considering the significant penetration of RE into the energy mix, instruments that are able to shift risk away from RE generators need to be reconsidered to give room for more efficient mechanisms. Now, Michael Pahle from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and Henriette Schweizerhof from Allianz Climate Solutions study ways in which incremental risk exposure to RE generation in Germany can couple improved efficiency with reduced total costs.

Abstract
Renewable energy (RE) has been insulated from market dynamics in most energy systems to stimulate investments and to offer an appropriate incentive, particularly for small and private investors. However, some decades since their first implementation, and considering the significant penetration of RE into the energy mix, instruments that are able to shift risk away from RE generators need to be reconsidered to give room for more efficient mechanisms. Now, Michael Pahle from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and Henriette Schweizerhof from Allianz Climate Solutions study ways in which incremental risk exposure to RE generation in Germany can couple improved efficiency with reduced total costs.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
