This task analyzes the interactions within a specific sector (e.g., electricity, buildings, transport) and uses this knowledge to develop recommendations for new concepts for market regulation and energy policy. In particular, we work on:
• Policies and market designs that support the development and integration of
renewable energy and can replace Switzerland’s current feed-in tariff scheme after
2020,
• Policies and market designs for promoting energy efficiency in the residential
sector (buildings, appliances, mobility) and the business sector (processes,
buildings, transport), e.g., white certificate schemes or demand side
management programs
• Analysis of interdependencies of different policies/ market regulations
that address the same sector.
