The OECD, though, has been much more prudent and explicitly refers to “support” rather than “subsidy” when discussing policy measures that provide a benefit to energy producers or consumers. Fossil fuel consumption subsidies are the largest category of energy subsidies worldwide.
Other than that, the approaches of international organizations diverge considerably. The International Energy Agency has defined energy subsidies broadly as “any government action that lowers the cost of energy production, raises the price received by energy producers or lowers the price paid by consumers” (IEA 2006).
Renewable electricity subsidies, which mostly focus on the deployment of renewable electricity, have three main objectives, all covering facets of the energy trilemma. First, but not always foremost, there are two environmental objectives.
Once installed, domestic interest groups form around the subsidies’ beneficiaries and make their reform politically costly. As shown, these beneficiaries are not only energy companies, but can also include, among others, households, farmers, and politicians that directly collect rents from maintaining those subsidies.
For households, consumption subsidies are legitimized as energy has no close substitute, but unquestionably provides essential functions to human life. Especially in developing countries, governments keep the price of energy products low, thereby often providing subsidies.
