| Abstract |
Feed –in tariffs (FiT) are an important and successful steering instrument to facilitate the use of renewable energies. In many countries of the world feed-in tariffs play a fundamental part to rise the commercial interest of investors concerning geothermal electricity production. In 20 EU-countries, in USA, east africa, central america, overall more than 30 countries FitS for all kinds of renewable energy support the energy change. About 15 countries created a feed-in tariff for geothermal electricity. In Germany with its difficult geological situation feed-in tariff for geothermal electricity rose in 2012 to 25€Ct/kWh (30$Ct/kWh). Other FiT i.e. for photovoltaic are reduced by the government as they succeeded . |
