Summary
As with both the definition of renewable energy and the legislative objectives adopted, there is also considerable variation in the regulatory support mechanisms contained within the national renewable energy laws of different countries. This reflects the variety of domestic market barriers that exist within different countries (and even in some instances, regions) and the broad range of objectives that governments are seeking to achieve through these mechanisms.
