- title: European climate policies: effects on the electricity sector with PyPSA-Pol model
- presenter: @cerealice
- description: Building on the open-source energy system model for the European energy system PyPSA-Eur, we developed a version specialized at policy evaluation called PyPSA-Pol. Our primary objective is to analyze how the European Commission climate policy will change the different energy sectors and the various countries in the continent. We present model outcomes illustrating how EU decarbonization strategies will shape the power sector, clustering insights for different areas in Europe. Southern countries may benefit from cost-effective solar generation, whereas the transition necessitates greater investments in Northern and Eastern regions.
As a work in process, we are linking PyPSA-Pol with a computable general equilibrium model, to analyse how the transition will affect households and industries, for various quintiles of income. We aim to enhance the current model version by refining the implementation of the industrial sector, which plays a pivotal role in shaping the trajectory of the decarbonization. Additionally, we seek to incorporate the impacts of climate change on both energy demand and supply. - optional link to the code repository: Not yet available
