摘要: This paper evaluates the likely effect of REFIT, Irish scheme to support renewable electricity generation, on wholesale price electricity. The cost REFIT is passed consumers. Here we calculate that, when there are 4,071MW on-shore wind in Republic Ireland, between 5 per cent and 10 gross Off-shore has higher levels than wind, as do technologies that still development such wave tidal. When off-shore tidal added system, increases significantly. We argue should be sustained with a different provides capital grants, channelled exports not supported by
