An extensive survey of the tax regimes for renewable energy –sources in over 50 countries

Unlike previous editions, this report now covers not only the taxation of wind power production but also other renewable energy sources such as solar and hydropower. 

The report provides a comprehensive overview of the tax systems in more than 50 countries, focusing on the taxation of renewable energy. It serves as a valuable tool for investments in renewable energy across borders. It illustrates how many countries use tax regulations as a means to promote the green transition, including the implementation of tax incentive schemes to achieve their climate goals.

While sunshine and wind have no jurisdictional limits, tax laws do. This report offers insights into how taxation in different jurisdictions can support the growth of renewable energy, with Belgium recently redesigning certain capital expenditure incentives to unlock new investment opportunities.
