英国的可再生能源政策的特点是机会主义、成本上限以及由于目标不明确而不断进行调整。自1990年以来，可再生电力一直有一个具体的输送机制。非化石燃料义务(NFFO)没有提供部署；没有创建导师；没有促进多样性；侧重于电力，通常只有利于大公司。2002年4月开始了一个新的支助机制--可再生债务。这可能会导致比NFFO更多的部署，但也只对发电技术和大型老牌公司有利。英国政府在2003年初发布了一项富有远见的能源政策，使英国走上了在2050年将二氧化碳排放量减少60%的道路上。本文认为，除非政府从过去的结果、错误和困难中“吸取教训”，澄清支持可再生能源的原因，然后贯彻旨在交付、多样性和创建导师的重点政策，否则它很可能不会比过去13年的可再生能源政策更成功。(C)2004爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
The UK's renewable energy policy has been characterised by opportunism, cost-limiting caps and continuous adjustments resulting from a lack of clarity of goals. Renewable electricity has had a specific delivery mechanism in place since 1990. The Non-Fossil Fuel Obligation (NFFO) did not deliver deployment; did not create mentors did not promote diversity; was focussed on electricity and was generally beneficial only to large companies. A new support mechanism, the Renewable Obligation, began in April 2002. This may result in more deployment than the NFFO, but is also beneficial to electricity-generating technologies and large, established companies only. The UK Government published a visionary energy policy in early 2003 placing the UK on a path to cutting carbon dioxide emissions by 60% in 2050. This paper argues that unless the Government 'learns' from it's past results, mistakes and difficulties, clarifies the reasons for supporting renewable energy and then follows through with a focussed policy aimed at delivery, diversity and the creation of mentors, it is likely to be no more successful than the previous 13 years of renewable policy.
