Recital 15
(15) Support schemes for electricitnergy generated from renewable sources have proved to be an effective way of fostering deployment of renewable electricitys. If and when Member States decide to implement support schemes, such support should be provided in a form that is as non-distortive as possible for the functioning of electricitnergy markets. To this end, an increasing number of Member States allocate support in a form where support is granted in addition to market revenues. Member States should choose the most appropriate form of support for small scale and demonstration projects, taking into account the technical and economical inability of these installations and of small investors to respond to market price signals.
