Feed-in tariffs have been implemented with impressive results in Mauritius, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Kenya. They have stimulated interest in renewable energy development in Uganda, South Africa and Tanzania. Led by Germany, Denmark and Spain, a growing number of industrialized countries are aggressively promoting renewables using the feed-in tariff model.

FiTs have proven to be effective policy instruments in overcoming a key long-term barrier to introducing renewable energy and making it economically viable. They provide guarantees attractive to investors, including access to the grid, long term power purchase agreements and a set price per kilowatt hour (kWh) that covers the costs associated with electricity production.  This toolkit offers guidelines for parliamentarians regarding feed-in tariffs and how to best design, implement and evaluate them.
