Renewable Energy Payments (REPs) Policies for the United States
Professor Sara Tjossem, Lecturer and Associate Director of Curriculum for the MPA-ESP program, worked with the team to evaluate Renewable Energy Payment (REP) policies (aka Feed-in Tariffs) in over 40 countries and are being called 'The World's Most Effective Renewable Energy Policies'. Research will strengthen the ability of the Alliance for Renewable Energy (ARE) to engage in a full scale, multi-track campaign to bring REPs to the USA. The clients were ARE and EarthAction. The group produced materials for their target audiences including fact sheets, memos, models for REP policy, and analyses of the current policy framework. To synthesize the findings, the groups identified strategic opportunities for overlap between stakeholders' interests and policy recommendations in key states.
