Government
For governments, regulators and state agencies
The principal driver of renewable energy growth is policy based on strong price support schemes and regulatory certainty. Growth of renewables is strongest where policy-makers have established favourable conditions. Today, we can benefit from a rich set of policy experiences at national and local levels.
Some countries are further advanced in their transition to renewables than others. Those who take the lead recognise that renewable energies provide a significant source of competitive advantage in terms of energy independence, security of supply, price stability and the potential for new industrial growth.
In Mainstream, our strength lies in our experience working with governments in countries where renewable energy is an established source of electricity. We know what works and what doesn’t – what policies and structures are needed to allow renewables to flourish. With the benefit of our experience and expertise, the transition to renewables can be faster and more efficient.
Mainstream works in partnership with governments throughout the world in turning renewable energy into the mainstream source of power in low carbon economies. Working together we accelerate the pace of progress.
It is the task of governments to get the policy fundamentals right; to put proper support schemes in place to encourage investment; and streamlined consenting procedures to speed up construction. Governments need to achieve effectiveness first, so as to build a critical mass of renewables. When that’s achieved the focus can be directed at efficiency. This sequence is vital to success.
There are a number of strategic benefits of integrating renewable energy as a mainstream source of energy into a country’s electricity system:
• Integrated major league energy programme
• Free indigenous energy source
• Replacement of oil, gas and coal as energy sources
• Free fuel and price stability
• Energy independence
• Greater security of supply
• Carbon abatement
• New industrial growth (employment, manufacturing and export potential)
