  • Mar.07.2018: Auctions didn’t make wind power cheaper, study finds. Wind power prices have plummeted in recent years since Germany switched to auctions. Now, a study has found what readers of this blog already knew: the prices only look low because they are reported as though future electricity were already being generated today. The study thus further documents the real reason for the shift from feed-in tariffs to auctions: it wasn’t about price; the goal was to give policymakers a way to control, and hence limit, the amount built annually. Auctions do that well, so they may be here to stay. Linkback: Energy Industry#Wind_Power Craig Morris, EnergyTransition.org.
