Providing incentives for investments in renewable energy: Advice for policymakers

This note provides a basic introduction to the use of incentives to support renewable energy investments. It is included here because it considers some general principles of when to use tax and nontax incentives, and outlines the main types of tax incentive (p. 3). The note briefly explores how tax and nontax incentives can be combined, and presents a short case study on how Spain combined tax and nontax incentives for renewable energy.
