"Modelling investment for the energy transition"
by Weitzel, Matthias and Rafael Garaffa


Abstract
The energy transition to decarbonize the economy will require mobilizing additional investment for a capital intensive low carbon energy structure. This is most obvious in the power sector with renewable energy being more capital intensive than fossil generation technologies. The electrification of other sectors (e.g. buildings or, transport) further increases the demand for electricity, requiring additional investments. Standard CGE models may not capture these dynamics and this paper argues that this can be improved by e.g. the coupling with energy models. Moreover, the additional investments also constitute a demand for sectors producing capital goods. We show the relevance of accounting for which sectors deliver capital goods for other sector’s investment needs, as opposed to modelling a generic capital good.
