Commercialization of renewable energy technologies: A ladder building approach

This study aims to address the problem by investigating questions such as: What are the key factors that influence the commercialization of RETs in Finland? How do technological, regulatory and market-related factors affect the widespread adoption of RETs in Finland? The study also highlights the significance of support mechanisms and suggests the improvements required, at the micro-level (firms) and macro-level (policies, regulation and infrastructure), to develop a successful RET market in Finland. The findings of the study are presented against the backdrop of existing literature, energy policies, and the data collected from the energy experts in academia, technology firms, utility companies, investment firms, and regulatory bodies. The study has thus identified the factors that are central to the acceleration of RETs commercialization in Finland. Based on the findings, the study presents a comprehensive framework for the commercialization of RETs in Finland.
