围绕可再生能源(RE)的绿色产业政策在新兴经济体背景下越来越普遍,作为促进低碳工业化的一种手段。然而,政策制定者在他们的政策设计中经常面临权衡。在本文中,我们关注的是在降低低碳能源生产成本以推动传统投入密集型工业化战略与实施可能代价高昂的措施以围绕低碳能源技术建设当地产业之间的权衡。具体而言,我们利用墨西哥和南非的案例来调查每个国家对这两个目标的不同优先顺序如何导致其RE拍卖设计和结果的分歧。具体而言,我们利用墨西哥和南非本地和外国参与者参与可再生能源项目的数据、政策文件以及对两国公共和私人利益相关者的采访,展示了每个国家的政策设计如何影响可再生能源市场和投标价格的发展,以及当地可再生能源价值链的形成。我们发现,优先考虑低成本的可再生能源发电可能会导致对现有外国价值链和资本的更大依赖,而没有建立可能为市场带来更大长期利益的本地能力。我们进一步讨论了我们的结果对政策制定者的影响,重点是为可再生能源产业政策设计提供建议,特别是为本地内容激励的校准提供建议。
Green industrial policies around renewable energy (RE) are growing increasingly prevalent in emerging economy contexts as a means to foster low-carbon industrialization pathways. However, policymakers often face a tradeoff in their policy designs. In this paper, we focus on the tradeoff between minimizing the cost of low-carbon energy generation to fuel traditional input-intensive industrialization strategies, and implementing potentially costly measures to build local industries around low-carbon energy technologies. Specifically, we utilize the cases of Mexico and South Africa to investigate how each country’s distinct prioritization of these two objectives led to a divergence of their RE auction designs and outcomes. Specifically, using data on the involvement of local and foreign actors in Mexican and South African RE projects, policy documents, and interviews with public and private stakeholders in the two countries, we show how each country’s policy design shaped RE market and bid price developments, and the formation of local RE value chains. We find that the prioritization of low-cost RE generation can result in a greater reliance on existing foreign value chains and capital, without building the local capabilities that could result in greater long-term benefits for the market. We further discuss the implications of our results for policymakers, focusing on providing recommendations for RE industrial policy design in general, and the calibration of local content incentives in particular.
