Q: According to McKinsey report solar PV is one of the MOST
expensive way of avoiding CO2 emissions (cca 350$/ton CO2). Feed-
In-Tariff for Solar PV energy increases greatly increases debt of a
given country. Is this desirable, or sustainable?
A: answered during the webinar. Indeed, when checking the CO2 abatement

Q: Have you done any studies over the economics of the different
tariff systems? Are the FIT systems more economically efficient for
the electrical systems than the green certificates ones?
A: Check the green-x website and download their final report with, among
other things, information on the evaluation of different policy schemes.

Q: The reference data is quite old: 2004, 2006; are there current
figures of installed REW capacities?
A: Check www.energy.eu#renewables
A: smart grids are getting much attention lately. Please check the Kema
