Abstract:

An analysis of the policy implications of Ontario's FITs on overall societal welfare suggests that, if unbounded, existing FIT tariffs would have a large negative impact on consumer welfare, with an overall net loss on total social welfare. Negative impacts could be minimized by controlling the quantities.
