The cost of green energy in Wallonia = Le cout de l'énergie verte en Wallonie, 2003-2012
In 2003, the Walloon region implemented a tradable green certificate mechanism to support the production of "green" electricity. In this paper, we estimate that the total cost of the mechanism amounted to 1.871 billion for the period 2003-2012, corresponding to a support of 107/MWh produced. There were important differences between production technologies, with solar photovoltaic receiving up to 588/MWh. International comparisons indicate that the Walloon mechanism is particularly generous. We also show that the carbon savings achieved were extremely costly, with an implicit price of avoided C...

In 2003, the Walloon region implemented a tradable green certificate mechanism to support the production of "green" electricity. In this paper, we estimate that the total cost of the mechanism amounted to 1.871 billion for the period 2003-2012, corresponding to a support of 107/MWh produced. There were important differences between production technologies, with solar photovoltaic receiving up to 588/MWh. International comparisons indicate that the Walloon mechanism is particularly generous. We also show that the carbon savings achieved were extremely costly, with an implicit price of avoided CO2 of 425 per ton ; En 2003, la Wallonie a mis en place un système de certificats verts échangeables pour soutenir la génération d’énergie électrique « verte ». Dans cet article, nous estimons que ce mécanisme de soutien a coûté 1,871 milliard € pour la période 2003-2012, soit un soutien de 107 €/MWh produit, avec de fortes différences entre filières de production, le photovoltaïque recevant jusqu’à 588 €/MWh. Les comparaisons internationales indiquent que le mécanisme wallon est particulièrement généreux. Nous montrons également que les économies induites de carbone sont extrêmement coûteuses avec un prix implicite pour la tonne de CO2 évitée de 425 €
