About This Topic

Across much of the world supranational, national, regional and local governments are experimenting with and implementing various energy policies to encourage the use and growth of alternative and renewable energy technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, to promote energy security, and to encourage energy efficiency. These policies include, but are not limited to, the use of energy taxes to incentivize the production and adoption of one energy source over another, setting standards such as Renewable Portfolio Standards or Best Available Control Technologies, government incentives and grants that promote the adoption of new technologies such as tax credits, subsidies, price supports, setting voluntary guidelines that encourage communities, businesses, households and individuals to adopt certain practices, and market based approaches such as cap and trade. This special issue aims to enhance an international dialogue on innovative policies that promote the development of alternative energy policies from the local to the supranational levels of governance. Both high-quality theoretical, applied research and case study papers and reviews are welcome.

Keywords

alternative energy; renewable energy policy; regulatory policy; tax incentives; public acceptance of policy; market policies; cap and trade; Renewable Portfolio Standards.

Building New Nuclear in Finland: Crises Challenging Core Beliefs around Nuclear Energy

Received: 26 November 2021;  Published: 06 April 2022;  doi: 10.21926/jept.2202012

Abstract

This paper examines the building of a new nuclear plant as a greenfield operation in Pyhäjoki, Finland. A newly-founded energy company, Fennovoima, was granted a license by the Finnish parliament to build a new power plant in 2010. In the years following this Decision in Principle the project faced several obstacles. Through interviews with [...]
