Abstract: Abstract The paper examines what impact different design options of emissions trading have on the innovation process in the electric power industry. Recent concepts of innovation research in evolutionary economics are reviewed and investment cycles in the German power sector are examined before taking a closer look at different emissions trading design options and their respective impact on power generation costs.
