Ecological Fiscal Reform and Energy Case Study on Renewable Grid-Power Electricity - Final Baseline and Economic Report
Ecological Fiscal Reform and Energy Case Study on Renewable Grid-Power Electricity - Final Baseline and Economic Report
Description
This case study provides an analysis of the role that fiscal policy can play in promoting the longterm development of Canada’s renewable energy sector, with a view of promoting and, where appropriate, accelerating the use of renewable energy technologies that leads to long-term reductions in energy-based carbon emissions. This case study addresses the renewable energy (RE) sector and explores the ‘traction" of fiscal instruments to improve the uptake or deployment of grid-power renewable energy technologies (RETs) in Canada. Consistent with the broader goal of the EFR program, the objectives of this case study are twofold: - To deliver pragmatic, policy-relevant recommendations on how fiscal policy can be used to promote sustainable development; and - To synthesize the lessons learned from each case study into a "State of the Debate" report that will assess the potential use of fiscal policy in promoting long-term decarbonisation.
