Optimal timing and capacity choice under the rate-of-return renewable energy support.

This article presents a stylized renewable energy (RE) investment project profitability analysis under a rate-of-return RE support type. We use a dynamic programming approach to value the real options. While the method is widely used in RE policy analysis, the rate-of-return support is presented in this framework for the first time.
