| Title | Policy Failure and the Case of Solar Power in the Czech Republic |
| Summary | The Czech Republic, a Member State of the European Union since 2004, is on track to meet its 2020 target for energy consumption from renewable sources, as stipulated by the EU Directive on renewable energy. Many have lauded the rapid increase in PV installations to facilitate this target completion as the product of a successful government policy. However, the negative impact of this policy, namely immense electricity market distortion and unmanageable costs to the public budget, demonstrate that the policy has largely been a failure. In order to identify exactly where the policy went wrong, this paper examines each stage of the policy process and shows that faults within various phases, especially within the evaluation stage, account for the partial failure of solar power policy in the Czech Republic. |
