“…The development of certain EVs for public services, such as public clean-up, is being promoted by initiatives such as the CLIMA Project by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and the Environment, which in turn is backed by the European Union's LIFE Program (European Parliament and of the Council, 2014). This conclusion is coherent with the results of other researchers (González-Limón et al, 2013).…”

“…Therefore, the assumptions of Wiser and Barbose () and the results of Lyon and Yin () obtained at the state level and related to solar potential are verified at local level. As stated by González‐Limón, Pablo‐Romero, and Sánchez‐Braza (), as the solar energy potential increases, the performance of technological systems is higher and the cost‐benefit ratio of the solar promoting measures is more favorable. The positive and significant coefficient of biomass potential may be considered a novelty, and as in the previous study in which this variable was used (Lyon & Yin, ), it was not significant.…”

“…It has a positive coefficient, in line with previous studies (Lyon & Yin, ; Matisoff, ), meaning that local governments have a higher probability of adopting such environmental measures in municipalities with a prevalence of liberal political preference. In this sense, and because a change of government with a different political preference may alter previously undertaken policy, the commitments acquired by the local governments to adhere to the CM could impede a different government from nullifying the environmental measures already implemented or underway, avoiding the change of political preference having a negative effect in the long term (Gonzalez‐Limón et al, ).…”

The Covenant of Mayors (CM) is the mainstream European movement involving local authorities who voluntarily commit to increase energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy sources within their territories with the aim of reducing CO 2 emissions and meet the European Union objectives by 2020. One country that has a greater number of signatories of this agreement is Spain. This article analyzes which factors influence the decision of Spanish local authorities to join the ever-growing movement. An empirical model is formulated to describe the behavior of Spanish local governments, this being a binary choice model which is a function of various political, economic, and technical factors. Among the prominent factors that influence this decision are population, availability of renewable energy, fiscal and environmental stress, citizens' political preference, the contagion effect of neighboring municipalities, the existence of covenant coordinators, and finally, economic motivations.

“…Spanish Municipalities has applied few programs and incentives on solar thermal installation before implementing tax credits as one of ways to promote solar thermal energy. [14]. The author of [15] mentioned that by adopting the tax bonus able to increase the solar thermal installation in the Andalusia municipalities.…”

This paper presents a comparison of solar thermal installation Capacity (STIC) with and without fiscal incentives for Malaysia Small Medium Enterprises (SME) sub-sector. The solar thermal installation capacity was measured through a policy evaluation system developed. The STIC was produced by System Dynamics Simulation (SDS) technique to measures the changes in installation capacity caused by SME acceptance, project risk and techno-economic analysis. The data were statistically analyzed to predict the optimal STIC between the fiscal incentives SDS models and non-fiscal incentives SDS models. The results revealed that the fiscal monetary and know-how on the solar thermal heating technology had the significant influence on the non-fiscal incentive SDS model, however, the fiscal incentives SDS models gave the best representation of level of installation capacity. The effect of the low percentage obtained on non -fiscal incentives SDS model has shown that solar thermal policy maker need to take into account that type, program and mechanism of incentives will give an impact the policy to be developed for SME heating process industries
