Summary

This is the first comprehensive study of the reasons why all of the different countries with national renewable energy laws legislate to accelerate the deployment of renewable energy. This means that, previously, it was not known whether there was a normative consensus among countries as to their rationale for legislating to support the accelerated deployment of renewable energy. Do countries only legislate to correct the market failures that affect the renewable energy sector, as economic theory would suggest, or do they legislate for a far broader range of reasons that differ between them? This chapter seeks to address this gap in the literature.
