“…Meng et al (2018) used a CGE model that integrates an electricity supply model, in which the electricity industry was disaggregated into eight sectors, to measure the effects of an emission trading scheme (ETS) on the energy sector and economy in Australia. Relevant hybrid CGE models also include Proença and Aubyn (2013), Cai and Arora (2015), Yun et al (2016), Tabatabaei et al (2017), and Lou (2017).…”

This paper develops a hybrid computable general equilibrium model to explore the impacts of reducing renewable energy subsidies on China's energy transition in various scenarios. The results of the benchmark scenario indicate that China can realize its regulatory goals in energy consumption and structure and carbon emission intensity in 2030. This paper sets various policy scenarios to simulate the impacts of reducing renewable subsidies between 2021 and 2030. The analytical results of the scenarios indicate that the government's 2030 target for total energy and natural gas consumption and carbon emission intensity can be achieved. However, the target for non-fossil energy is hard to fulfill when the renewable energy subsidy is reduced. The empirical results also indicate that a moderate renewable energy subsidy associated with significant technical progress in renewable energy is a crucial way for China to fulfill government targets and energy transition in 2030.

“…Electricity production support mechanisms in EU member states differ in terms of renewable energy source types (for biogas (BG), biomass (BM), hydropower (HY), solar energy (SO) and wind energy (WI)), in terms of support mechanisms (subsidies, grants, loans, procurement tariffs, premium tariffs, quota system, tax system), and financial rules (support rules and amounts). There are countries that support the use of only one of solar energy, hydropower, or wind energy, but there also are countries, that support all types of renewable energy sources [7]- [9].…”

Financial support is needed in order to implement renewable resources in countries energy sector in the shortest time period. Among the most important supports for European Union Member states are feed-in tariff and feed-in tariff premiums. This research analyses one country’s experience in applying subsidies of the electricity tariff that has caused public protests after 20 years. There are many reasons for this which are analysed in the paper. One of the most important reasons of high subsidies of energy tariffs – coincident mandatory procurement implementation of application of fossil fuel (imported natural gas) for cogeneration units, which has to be classified as external mover (initiator) factor. Energy sector’s potential development scenarios with or without support for renewable energy resources are being analysed in the paper.

“…Recently, there have been a number of studies that have investigated several specific energy policy areas and technical issues of energy in Iran such as the gasoline consumption in the transportation sector (Jafari and Baratimalayeri, 2008), the impact of feed-in tariff policy (Tabatabaei, 2017), the practical application of the buy-back service contracts (Ghandi and Lawell, 2017), or the latest reform attempts in the electricity industry (Yousefi et al, 2017).…”

This article discusses the prospects of Iranian domestic energy sector by focusing on the latest political and economic developments taking place in connection with the hydrocarbon industry. Although after partial lifting of the sanctions, substantial changes in the Iranian energy sector may present a new, favorable environment for international investments, the political economy of hydrocarbon management in Iran plays a significant role in the definition of current and prospective stakeholders, their aims and interests. This paper analyses existing policies and policy challenges of hydrocarbon management by contextualizing them with historical and political factors. Considering the recent prospects in the Iranian hydrocarbon sector, it is worth keeping only the lower expectations concerning the production boom of the Iranian hydrocarbon industry: due to external market trends (low oil price, oversupply in the market) and a long redistribution process, the most probable scenario proposes a slow and continuous transformation in the oil and gas sectors of the Islamic Republic. In practice, it means that both the extension of export capacity and the involvement of international companies will take place in a gradual, regulated way, in which all the interests of major Iranian political and economic stakeholders have to be considered.
