  • 1. Risoe National Lab., UNEP Collaborating Centre on Energy and Environment, Roskilde (Denmark)

Description

The commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol is expected to result in a large role for the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) in electric power projects, including grid-based renewable energy generation. This paper contributes to the discussion on reforms in developing country electricity sector and on how they affect CDM investment potential in overcoming barriers to enhancing deployment of renewable. It reviews implications of power sector reforms for grid-based CDM renewable energy projects in Chile, Kenya and the Philippines, as examples of economics with high potential subject to removal of market entry barriers.
