Besides, if energy price stays at very low values for long times, the existing generation facilities, either renewable or not, might become less and less cost effective thus reducing the interest of the operators in investing their funds in new renewable projects. An increased flexibility option in this framework even by adding new value to ...

To achieve the decarbonisation of the electricity sector, a significant amount of renewable energy sources (RES) generation capacity is required to replace the phased-out fossil base load capacities. This process involves electrifying other energy sectors (e.g. transport), which will further increase the electricity demand to be covered by RES.
For this work we use 38 power sector scenarios that are run using the Regional Energy Deployment System (ReEDS) model (Eurek et al., 2016) and the distributed generation (dGen) model (Sigrin et al., 2016).ReEDS projects the evolution of the bulk power system through 2050 using system-wide least-cost optimization, while dGen is …
Government remains committed to meeting the target of 30 percent renewable energy penetration by 2030, Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Philip Davis said yesterday during his 2022/2023 budget communication, explaining that the government''s plans to implement green energy initiatives will keep the "long-term" …
