TY - GEN A1 - Kreuz, Sebastian A1 - Müsgens, Felix T1 - Measuring the cost of renewable energy in Germany T2 - The Electricity Journal N2 - Electricity generation from renewable energy is increasing globally. However, in most electricity systems this growth comes at a price in the form of increased costs. This paper quantifies the costs for renewable energy installations built in Germany between 2000 and 2011. Our analysis sheds light on the ‘Energiewende’ in Germany, which is a front runner in the worldwide renewables rollout. To evaluate cost, benefits and policy instruments, the methodology can also be applied to other countries.
