Regional impacts of electricity system transition in Central Europe until 2035

J. Sasse and E. Trutnevyte

This study by Jan-Philipp Sasse and Evelina Trutnevyte explores how achieving electricity sector targets in Central Europe could distribute benefits and burdens at a sub-national level. They model 100 scenarios to evaluate the impacts on costs, jobs, emissions, and land use, finding that optimizing costs, equality, and renewable generation leads to conflicting pathways.
