“…As a result, a tremendous increase in the ROI will be generated to the public. The ROI under both policies is calculated as: ROI = CF × (FiT price × 0.1 + electricity price) × 360 × 6.6/(PV cost − subsidy cost) (11) Further, applying the combination of subsidy policy results in larger reductions in CO 2 emissions and achieves better goals in energy dependency than FiTs policy. Similar simulation was run for the system dynamics model of the combination of subsidy and FiTs policies and the obtained results showed that:…”

“…The study revealed that the solar and wind project will result in a significant reduction of the country's projected greenhouse gas emissions of 1.93-3.21 mega tons of CO 2 emissions annually. Alawneh et al [11] overviewed the off-grid PV installations and presented the present status of PV market in Jordan after activating the Renewable Energy and Efficiency Law in Jordan in year 2014. The results showed that the total PV installed capacity in Jordan exceeded 300 MW distributed in large-, medium-, and small-scale projects, according to the kind of installation, whether it is energy net metering, power wheeling, or power purchase agreement.…”

Renewable energy policies, such as feed-in-tariffs (FiTs) and subsidy policies, have been reported effective in enhancing the social acceptability to install solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. Nevertheless, a quantitative assessment approach is still needed to measure the extent to which these policies can achieve the clean energy goals and support the decision-making process. This study, therefore, develops system dynamics models to assess the impacts of PV policies on the social acceptability to install PV systems, energy security, and CO2 emission reduction in the small-scale sector in Jordan. Simulation was then conducted from the period 2016 to 2050. The results for the FiTs (subsidy) policies showed that the predicted accumulated PV installations, power generated, and CO2 emission reductions will reach 67.125 (88.38) Gigawatt (GW), 115.853 (152.588) Terra Wh (TWh), and 74.49 (98.114) million tons CO2, respectively. To achieve these goals, the required cumulative FiTs and subsidy policy costs are 2.2 and 7.59 billion USD, respectively. Sensitivity analyses followed to determine the optimal FiTs price and subsidy proportion that optimize PV goals under uncertainty. In conclusion, the developed models are found valuable tools for measuring the impacts of energy policies on PV goals and thereby provide great input information to the decision-making processes when selecting the appropriate energy policies and actions. In the end, adopting FiTs and/or subsidy policies, Jordan is expected to achieve a high level of clean energy security by 2050, which enhances energy capabilities and mitigates global warming. Future research will examine the factors that affect social acceptability for PV systems.

“…However, it failed to accomplish its previous target of generating 7% of its energy by renewable means by 2015; it has achieved only 2% of its energy generation by RE means. Marei recommended that in order to reach its target of generating 10% energy from RE technologies by 2020, Jordan should revise its RE policy instruments and diagnose potential loopholes in the existing regulations [128,129].…”

The Penetration of Renewable and Sustainable Energy in Asia: A State-of-the-Art Review on Net-Metering

Conventional fossil-fuel energy resources are being drastically depleted; thus, the current shift towards renewable energy (RE) resources has become imperative. However, there are many impediments to the adoption of renewable power generation. These impediments can be overcome by enacting policies to encourage the acceptance of sustainable energy resources. For instance, the net-metering policy can provide the necessary incentives to promote the development of local distributed energy sources, primarily solar photovoltaic and wind generators. While there has been significant advancement and development in netmetering in Asia with the increased penetration of RE, at present there is a lack of systematic review in this area. This paper aims to present an in-depth review on net-metering advances and challenges, current RE shares, and future RE targets in the Asian region. Additionally, a case study is performed and an economic analysis of net-metering regulations in an Asian country is carried out. In this study, the monetary benefits of net-metering policies for residential consumers are proved. It is envisaged that the information gathered in this paper will be a valuable one-stop source of information for Asian researchers working on this topic. INDEX TERMS Renewable energy shares, renewable energy targets, net-metering policy, net-metering in Asia.
