EC Projections Workshop
Energy Paper 68 – baseline energy and CO 2 projections, 2000 – 2020, published by DTI, November No plans to revise projections yet. UK Climate Change Programme – projections of all GHGs, including policies and measures, published by DEFRA, November No plans to revise yet.

Model Design n Two main components of the model: sectoral econometric models of final energy demand a LP model of electricity supply
Model Design l Electricity supply model: key features a linear programme covers existing major power producer power stations plus renewable plants based on pre-determined fuel costs, plant costs etc determines the overall least cost means of supply models main coal plants individually determines the merit order - the cheapest plants forecasts what new plant type is most economic model constrained to meet SOx/NOx emissions limits
Other Models and Procedures n A simulation CHP model n A refinery model n An Excel based workbook to calculate emissions on a UK source, end user and fuel basis and on a detailed and summary IPCC basis (with 3000 lines of visual basic programming)

Final Energy Demand Sector Drivers
Key Energy Modelling Assumptions Used in EP68 1. Incomes and economic growth 2. Energy Prices 3. Household numbers
Key Energy Modelling Assumptions Used in EP68 -3 economic growth cases (low, central and high) -2 energy price cases (low and high) Many tests of sensitivity (including nuclear lifetimes, energy prices, temperature…)
Key Assumptions on Population: Projection of total households in England,

Change in Baseline Emission Projections ( 2000 View against 1995 View )
Main Reasons for Change in Baseline Emission Projections Climate change levy more CHP Lower offshore emissions Effects of road fuel duties ReasonsArea industry Road transport other 10% renewables generation lower electricity demand Power stations
Openness Energy Modelling - EP68 1)..Energy industries are consulted 2)..A working paper was issued for comment 3)..Modellers available for informal discussion 4)..Energy Model Review - openness is a key issue 1)..Consultation Paper published for comment 2)..Dialogue with companies, other bodies Climate Change Programme Government Energy Review 1)..Encourages more openness 2)..Recommends a new sustainable energy unit, with more analytical capability, across Govt
Model Parameters Energy Modelling - EP68 1)..Model elasticities last published in EP65 in March )..Occasional papers submitted to conferences 3)..Elasticities reported in annual Energy Reports 4)..Modellers available for informal discussion of model parameters 5)..Energy Model Review will assess how best to provide information
