The world urgently needs good FIT laws
Feed-in tariff (FIT) laws have proved the most effective approach for increasing and accelerating the deployment of renewables in the electricity sector.
This site aims to help users around the world to introduce or improve FIT laws in their country or region.
Tackling climate change means rapidly changing the way we generate and use energy. We can only achieve this with an effective policy framework for promoting renewable energy and energy efficiency. FITs are a crucial element of any such framework.
The World Future Council is continuing its work to identify best policies - particularly those already proving their effectiveness in combating climate change and moving the world to sustainable energy sources.
The next step is to build on this - FITs apply to the electricity sector, but strong policies and standards are needed to increase both the efficiency of energy use and the share of renewables in other sectors as well.
Read the report of a group of US utility executives on a fact-finding mission to Germany, to
learn about the country’s successful integration of significant amounts of solar energy into the electricity grid.
We outline the essential features of a good FIT law, and give you the opportunity to draft the basic elements of a proposed law.
Our March workshop brought together Feed-In Tariff expertise from many countries in Europe and North America.
