Overview: The purpose of this study is to explore how investment decisions in the power generation sector may be modified with the introduction of CO2 emission allowances. To do so, it considers, through a simplified quantitative analysis, power plant costs, and operation and investment changes in the electricity generation over both short-run and long-run timescales. The model1 results should not be considered as projections but rather as a tool to explore the potential impacts of a greenhouse emission trading scheme on investments.
