Résumé :

The paper documents the differences in capital costs between electricitygeneration companies in Belgium based on whether they rely on traditional thermal sources or on RES. The assessment involves an analysis of a sample of twenty-six firms. It shows that government programs have more than compensated renewable-energy firms for high capital costs related to the increased risks of these energy sources.
