概述 | This case study on green hydropower, conducted by Ecologic Institute, illustrates a novel application of economic policy instruments in European water management. Hydropower in Switzerland accounts for about 59 % of the electricity supply. While hydropower is already considered a green energy, the sector's "green" potential has increased with the introduction of a new label certification scheme. The study is available for download. |
摘要 | class="field field-name-field-master-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"> This case study on green hydropower, conducted by Ecologic Institute, illustrates a novel application of economic policy instruments in European water management. Hydropower in Switzerland accounts for about 59 % of the electricity supply. While hydropower is already considered a green energy, the sector's "green" potential has increased with the introduction of a new label certification scheme. Since 2000 customers in Switzerland are given the possibility to influence green energy production and thus promote fair competition in the electricity market by being offered the possibility to buy electricity produced sustainably under the label "Naturemade". From an ecological perspective, the introduction of this label developed by a non-profit organisation was to improve local river conditions by setting an incentive to develop sustainable hydropower. This instrument represents a combination of voluntary standards and payments for ecosystem services. |
