Van den Bergh et al. (2013) estimate that without deployment of RES electricity attributed to support schemes, emissions of the electricity sector would have been 10 to 16 per cent higher across 12 member states over 2007-2010.
“The results show that without deployment of RES electricity attributed to support schemes, emissions of the electricity sector would have been 10 to 16 per cent higher across countries, over the study period.”
From The EU ETS and its companion policies: any insight for China's ETS? (2021) · cites this paper as Van den Bergh et al., 2013
The Conclusion (p. 28) reports that, without supported RES-E injections, electricity-sector emissions would have been up to 10%, 13%, 16%, and 15% higher in 2007–2010, respectively. It identifies these figures as an outer limit, not the actual impact; the claim omits that qualification. The Conclusion (p. 28) also confirms that the analysis covers 12 EU member states.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
