Electricity Network Investment and Regulation for a Low Carbon Future
The requirement for significantly higher electricity network investment in the UK seems certain as the capacity of distributed generation and large scale renewables increases on the system. In this paper, which forms a chapter in the forthcoming Book “Delivering a Low Carbon Electricity System: Technologies, Economics and Policy” 2 , the authors make a number of significant suggestions for impr...
متن کاملEnergy transitions and uncertainty: Creating low carbon investment opportunities in the UK electricity sector
This paper examines how actors in the UK electricity sector are attempting to deliver investment in low carbon generation. Low carbon technologies, because of their relative immaturity, capital intensity and low operational costs, do not readily fit with existing electricity markets and investment templates which were designed for fossil fuel based energy. We analyse key electricity market and ...
متن کاملIntegrated life-cycle assessment of electricity-supply scenarios confirms global environmental benefit of low-carbon technologies.
Decarbonization of electricity generation can support climate-change mitigation and presents an opportunity to address pollution resulting from fossil-fuel combustion. Generally, renewable technologies require higher initial investments in infrastructure than fossil-based power systems. To assess the tradeoffs of increased up-front emissions and reduced operational emissions, we present, to our...
متن کاملEvidence from International Low-carbon Electricity Systems
This paper presents analysis on those countries that generate more than 70% of their electricity from low-carbon sources, with a focus on how investment in low-carbon electricity capacity in these countries was delivered.
متن کاملInsufficient Incentives for Investment in Electricity Generation
In theory, competitive electricity markets can provide incentives for efficient investment in generating capacity. We show that if consumers and investors are risk averse, investment is efficient only if investors in generating capacity can sign long-term contracts with consumers. Otherwise the uncovered price risk increases financing costs, reduces equilibrium investment levels, distorts techn...
