Mechanizmy wspierania rozwoju energetyki odnawialnej

The paper provides an assessment of the support and financing instruments available for renewable energy sources (RES). The first part presents an overview on the different European bodies involved in financing RES development and lists specific funding programmes, pointing out the type and volume of financial support. The instruments have been identified for both, the project as well as the technology dimension. The second part provides an overview of support and financing instruments available for renewable energy in the Member States and the main support instruments (feedin tariffs and quota). Finally the paper develops recommendations for improving financing and support instruments in Poland and closing the financing gap for reaching the 2020 targets.
