“…Nonetheless, implementing these measures is not enough if this initiative is not perceived by foreign investors. It is therefore necessary to improve international communication (Mahía et al, 2014) in order to project an image of the country with a more adequate environment than other economies for new investment initiatives.…”

“…The list of barriers was built taking into account the previous literature review (Section 2.1), concerning investment barriers in the renewable energy sectors of developing countries and, more specifically, the MENA region. Following the classification made in Mahía, De Arce, & Medina (2014), the investments barriers were categorized in three types: entrepreneurial barriers, policy, and market related. A total of 37 barriers were included, 14 of which were referred to business barriers, 17 to policy-related barriers, and 6 to market barriers (see Table 1).…”

“…However, World Energy Council (2015) notices that there are some ambiguities in strategy, it is not clear how decisions are made. According to Mahia et al (2014) research, the social-political instability in the country and/or region is one of top five policy related barriers. Historically, statutory framework and institutional infrastructure were one of the weakest links in developing renewable energy sources and the enhancement of energy efficiency.…”

The article analyses the problems of renewable and fossil based energy consumption. Particular emphasis is put on the promotion of renewable energy technologies. Morocco implements the energy efficiency programmes in the parallel with the Wind promotion plan and Morocco Solar Plan, which is one of the largest projects in the world. The authors of the article focus on the obstacles and barriers of implementing renewable energy promotion plan in Morocco. The investigation shows that Morocco faces with a lack of financing sources and risk implementing small projects, social-economic problems, a lack of transparency and lobbyism. Even public apathy or the acceptance of RE in the community might be a challenge.

“…Clearly, it has been the category "Technical Analysis" which has captured the greatest attention of the researchers and its subsection "Storage" should be praised as the most prolific one 61]. Although in a lesser amount, it is also possible to find some studies related to the economic performance of CSP, either combining economic and technical aspects or focusing the attention on purely economic considerations [73][74][75][76][77][78][79].…”

Assessing the 2014 retroactive regulatory framework applied to the concentrating solar power systems in Spain

et al. 2018

The RD 413/2014 new economic and regulatory framework applied to the concentrating solar power plants (CSPP) in Spain has been here analysed and its new remuneration scheme has been formulated, becoming evident its high complexity and the great number of regulatory parameters involved. Next, a new model focused on determining its impact on the economic results of the existing CSPP has been proposed. Due to the complexity of the system, a methodology comprising a set of different stages of analysis has been developed. The new model has proven to be a useful tool to analyse the economic impact of the new regulatory scheme on the facilities and to identify its most influential regulatory parameters. One of the most representative facilities has been chosen as a case study to undertake the analysis. The results of the analysis, which have shown a substantial profitability reduction, have been consistent with the appreciations and data provided by the claimants of the last arbitral Award concerning the Kingdom of Spain and investors of CSPP in this country.
