POWER PLANTS OF POLAND AND SLOVAKIA IN ASPECT OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

摘要

The main aim of this paper was to determine the efficiency and appropriateness of the support schemes used for the support of renewable energy sources in Poland and Slovakia. The results showed that the suitability of using a particular instrument depends on the conditions in the country. Based on the results, the most appropriate instrument within Poland is a factor that brings together the level of energy consumer taxation and tradeable certificates. Grants were also a suitable instrument in this country, while subsidies did not have a significant effect. In the case of Slovakia, the only significant (appropriate) instrument was the factor capturing the level of electricity taxation and the level of tariffs provided to market operators.
