Some Key issues for reviews of the costs of low-carbon electricity generation in the UK, a policy impact paper, identifies the key principles and issues relating to the costs of electricity brazil rcs data generation “that should be taken into account by the Government in considering the independent review of energy costs published by Professor Dieter Helm in October 2017, and in completing its reviews of the Levy Control Framework and carbon pricing.”
Authors Patrick Curran, Sam Fankhauser, Robert Gross, Sini Matikainen and Bob Ward build upon the results of a simple economic model for the power sector, developed originally to assess the relative cost effectiveness of policies to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases in Spain (Doda and Fankhauser, 2017). For this study, the model was calibrated for the UK to assess the relative cost-effectiveness of policies to achieve a reduction in annual emissions of greenhouse gases from the power sector of 70 per cent between 2015 and 2030.
The model uses the IEA CO2 Emissions From Fuel Combustion: Allocation of Emissions from Electrical Heat data to establish that less than 40 per cent of the UK’s annual greenhouse gas emissions in 2016 were subject to an explicit carbon price.
