The members of these cooperatives are driven to invest in wind projects by both economic and social factors. Low-cost debt investments are also possible. “Ethical” banks in Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, and other European countries have provided low-interest loans to a large number of small renewable energy projects (Mitchell and MacKerron, 1994). In these arrangements, . . .

Although bilateral contracts, CfDs, and other contracting mechanisms will play an important role in the new market, power contracts are more likely to be of the short- to medium-term variety (less than 15 years). In this new environment, NUGs may rely, in part, on merchant plant development; that is, development of new facilities without a full . . .
