Select & Develop Clean Power Policies and Incentives

Clean power policies and incentives are tools governments can use to achieve renewable energy goals quickly, reliably and cost-effectively, and drive other objectives like economic development, resilience and climate goals.

There are many proven policy measures to choose from – each with its own strengths and limitations – including targets, mandates, administratively set pricing instruments, competitive procurement, financial incentives, and information and communications programs. Careful consideration is needed in choosing the policies that will work best in a given power system and political economy context.
