The common Swedish - Norwegian
elcertificate market
The user case will summarize our research on the properties
of green certificates. This will include a discussion of the
background and motivation for the introduction of green
certificates, analyses and discussions of the expected
and planned development of power production and
transmission capacity due to the certificates as well as a
comparison between the two countries included in the
green certificates: Norway and Sweden. The work was
started in November 2015 with a researcher workshop, and
then a combined researcher- and user partner workshop
was arranged in March 2016.

Nurturing new technologies
In the work with the user case we have discussed the
efficiency and properties of different incentive schemes for
promoting renewable energy. Which incentive schemes and
regulatory frameworks will stimulate long-term technology
development and the introduction of new technologies in
the market? The work will cover a broad range of
technologies and incentive schemes such as green
certificates, feed-in tariffs and CAPEX-support for CCS
installations. Moreover, wewill discuss selectionmechanisms
for incentive schemes – why are certain mechanisms chosen
in certain settings and what is the motivation behind these
mechanisms?
