TERNA – Country Survey 2009
Energy-policy Framework Conditions for Electricity Markets and Renewable Energies – 16 Country AnalysesThis survey provides detailed descriptions of the framework conditions for electricity markets and renewable energy in 16 developing and emerging countries. It aims at helping interested players gain access to the new markets. Economic development in many emerging countries has triggered rapidly rising demand for energy and competition on the international oil market. Against the background of the volatile cost of fossil fuels, supply risks and damage to the environment, the significance of renewable energy as a means of generating electricity is growing also in developing and emerging countries. According to information released by the Renewable Energy Policy Network for the 21st Century (REN21), by early 2009, policy targets existed in at least 73 countries and at least 64 countries had policies to promote renewable power generation. Feed-in tariffs were adopted at the national level in at least five countries in 2008 or early 2009. These include Kenya, the Philippines and South Africa. It is the success in countries like China, India and Egypt which encourages commitment beyond the borders of industrialised nations. In those countries the proportion of local content in the systems and equipment they produce is constantly growing and not only for supply to their own domestic markets. However, a number of other countries are erecting their first wind farms, thereby establishing the basis for gaining experience to be utilised in future markets.
