Feed in Tariffs as a Policy Instrument for Promoting Renewable Energies and Green Economies in Developing Countries

In 2011 there were 73 countries around the world that had implemented policy targets for renewable electricity at the federal or regional levels. The most prevalent national renewable energy policy in the world is the feed - in tariff (FIT). As of early 2011, 50 countries had some form of FIT in place , with more than half of these being in developing countries. This report is intended as a resource for policy makers in developing countries to make informed policy decisions about the whether,when and how of FITs and to support nationally appropriate policy measures to scale up renewable energy. The report is also intended to improve the understanding of the potential benefits and challenges for developing countries to design FITs as well as the factors influencing their success, more in depth from the policy and legal foci, whilst also analysing the funding and capacity implications. Throughout the report, FITs are construed as interacting with national energy and non-energy policies in a dynamic manner.
