Comparing push and pull measures for PV and wind in Europe

Renewable Energy, 2014, vol. 61, issue C, 33-37

Abstract: Successful technological innovation frameworks are based on synergistic packages of technology-push and demand-pull measures. As the massive deployment of premature renewable energy technologies risks becoming very expensive, the debate on the optimal trajectory of renewable technologies should explicitly consider the balance between deployment incentives and R&D efforts.
