Resumo: This study intends to evaluate the relationship between the use of feed-in tariffs and the deployment of renewable energies. We collected a sample of 28 EU countries for the period 1990-2017. Following a panel data approach, we performed a random effects estimation. Among the several explanatory variables, feed-in tariffs, discriminated by different renewable energies’ technologies, are defined as the variables of interest in explaining the share of the electricity capacity generated by non-hydro renewable sources. The results suggest that only Wind and Waste impact the dependent variable allied to the share of electricity produced from both nuclear and fossil fuel sources and the prices of traditional energy sources. The previous findings are robust for OECD member countries and also for countries where feed-in tariffs are applied at least once in the period considered.

Selecionamos uma amostra de 28 países da UE cobrindo o período de 1990-2017. Para analisar os dados, adotamos uma abordagem de dados em painel realizando uma estimativa de efeitos aleatórios. Entre as diversas variáveis explicativas, os valores de tarifas feed-in discriminadas pelos diferentes tipos de tecnologia são definidos como as variáveis de interesse em explicar a parcela da capacidade elétrica gerada a partir de uma fonte renovável não hídrica. Os resultados sugerem que, das diferentes tecnologias em análise, apenas o Vento e os Resíduos impactam variável dependente, aliados à parcela da eletricidade gerada a partir de uma fonte de combustível nuclear e fóssil e dos preços das fontes tradicionais de energia. As conclusões anteriores são robustas para os países membros da OCDE e também para os países onde a tarifa feed-in é aplicada a pelo menos uma das tecnologias em análise.2021-12-03T00:00:00Z2020-12-03T00:00:00Z2020-12-032020-11info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/21157TID:202559599engOliveira, Margarida Ramalho Almeidainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAP2024-07-07T02:58:15Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/21157Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T18:12:08.243232Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
