Wessel, J., Chowdhury, A.K., Wild, T. et al. Regional coordination can alleviate the cost burden of a low-carbon electricity system. Nat Commun

Objective:

• Assess the role of full regional coordination on electricity capacity expansion and deep decarbonization pathways among five countries usingGridPath model

Case:

• Five countries in South American

Methodology:

• GridPath model

Data Source

• Electricity
• Wind nad solar PV, Hydropower

Findings:

• Decarbonization is achievable with modest cost premiums which are further mitigated by international coordination

• Differences in deploymnet of renewables across scenarios tend to offset at the regional level.

Coding Reference:

• Python
