A way forward for EU energy system modelling
This publication puts forward a number of recommendations for improving the technology assumptions in EU energy system modelling.
Energy system modelling plays a key role in the development of EU’s climate and energy policy. However, the current technology assumptions 1) contain inaccurate data on cost and performance, 2) have several transparency challenges, and 3) are not subject to sufficiently regular review processes to ensure up-to-date data.
CONCITO RECOMMENDS:
- Update the input data on cost and performance of a range of technologies
- Increase transparency through e.g. full access to input data and model output, clear references to data sources and more complete information on units
- Revise the process of determining the technology assumptions through a yearly review, allocate further resources and introduce the use of sensitivity analyses on the cost of key technologies
