Samenvatting:
Last year?s adoption of the Renewables Directive has provided an importantstimulus for EU Member State governments to increase their renewable
energy policy efforts, stipulating indicative targets for the consumption
of renewable electricity in each of the Member States. This paper uses
the recent experiences in the Dutch green certificate market to illustrate
the possible interactions between renewable electricity policy instruments
in the different Member States. These interactions may reduce the effectiveness
and efficiency of renewable electricity policy and should therefore
be taken into account when designing policy instruments. The paper first
describes the Dutch green certificate system and renewable support mechanism,
as well as the recent developments in the Dutch green certificate market.
Consequently, the paper analyses the current problems of the Dutch renewable
electricity support framework and explains the interactions with renewable
electricity policies in other Member States. Based on the implications
of these policy interactions for national renewable electricity policy
making the case for co-ordination and harmonisation of renewable energy
policy in the EU is developed. The paper elaborates different levels
of harmonisation that may be necessary as the internal market for renewable
electricity develops. The paper concludes with a set of recommendations
at the EU level with regard to a strategy for the harmonisation of the
European renewable electricity market.
