Renewable Energy Study Released
BEIJING -
Data detailed on Energy - Renewable Energy have been presented. According to news originating from Guangdong, People's Republic of China, by VerticalNews correspondents, research stated, "On the basis of the government subsidies for renewable energy electricity, this study builds a two-stage duopoly model in an industry with a renewable electricity enterprise and a conventional electricity enterprise in the market. Under the assumption of the generalised social welfare maximisation authority, this study discusses the effects of three types of government subsidies, business fixed input subsidy, output subsidy and mixed subsidy."
Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the University of Jinan, "First, the mixed subsidy policy is the best one under generalised social welfare. However, when the cost of renewable energy production or the energy negative coefficient is low, this subsidy policy generates a high electricity price. Second, when the output subsidy is used, the optimal price and optimal output of renewable energy will decrease with the increase of production cost and negative externality coefficient of renewable energy enterprises."
According to the news editors, the research concluded: "Finally, both the optimal price and optimal outputs depend on the level of negative externality and the cost of renewable energy production."

U.S. wind generating capacity surpasses hydro capacity at the end of 2016
WASHINGTON - Installed wind electric generating capacity in the United States surpassed conventional hydroelectric generating capacity, long the nation’s largest source of renewable electricity, after 8,727 megawatts (MW) of new wind capacity came online in 2016. However, given the hydro fleet’s higher average capacity factors and the above-normal precipitation on the West Coast so far this year, hydro generation will likely once again exceed wind generation in 2017.
Wind and hydro generation both follow strong seasonal patterns. Hydro generation typically reaches its seasonal peak in the spring and early summer, especially in the Pacific Northwest and California where about half of…
