Energy Policy Simulator(EPS)
The Energy Policy Simulator (EPS) is a comprehensive analytical model designed to evaluate the impacts of energy policies across all sectors of the economy, including industry, power generation, and transportation. By integrating a wide array of policy levers—such as carbon pricing and renewable energy subsidies—users can construct customized scenarios to quantitatively assess greenhouse gas reductions, energy demand, and macroeconomic ripple effects, including GDP fluctuations and public health benefits derived from improved air quality. The EPS serves as a critical strategic compass for policymakers, providing a scientific foundation to identify the most cost-effective and beneficial climate action strategies while facilitating the design of optimal policy roadmaps that harmonize economic growth with environmental sustainability.
Coal Phase-Out Watcher NEXT Electricity Outlook 2025 - Part 2
This study presents an optimized coal phase-out roadmap that enables coal-fired power plants to maintain economic viability during their remaining operational period. By doing so, it aims to reduce uncertainties and financial risks associated with coal plant operations and contribute to accelerating the transition toward renewable energy.
