Abstract
⺠We review and summarise Ireland's support scheme for renewable energy. ⺠We present information about the operation of the scheme in industry to date. ⺠The scheme is really a series of put options. ⺠Our option pricing model shows that the scheme is much more expensive/valuable than the industry has recognised to date. ⺠The existing scheme is inefficient and simple variations represent much better policy instruments.
