Response to Weitzel on our paper “Comparing the feed-in tariff incentives for renewable electricity in Ontario and Germany” by Mabee, Mannion, and Carpenter

In his comment on a recent paper [see Mabee، نويسنده , , W.، نويسنده , , Mannion، نويسنده , , J.، نويسنده , , Carpenter، نويسنده , , T.، نويسنده , , 2012. Comparing the feed-in tariff incentives for renewable electricity in Ontario and Germany. Energy Policy 40 (1)، نويسنده , , 480–489] that compared Ontario and Germanyʹs feed-in tariff (FIT) programs، نويسنده , , Weitzel has identified the fact that we incorrectly assumed that the German FIT incentives were degressed within contracts. The implications of this misapprehension are explained. While savings within single projects are not as dramatic، نويسنده , , the Ontario model is still significantly more expensive than the German model، نويسنده , , and suggest that Weitzelʹs discussion on degression offers more insight into the manner in which FIT programs might be reformed.، نويسنده ,
