Cost Assessment for Sustainable Energy Systems
What is CASES
CASES is the acronyms of ‘Cost assessment of sustainable energy costs’, which is an European Commission funded Coordination Action.
A Coordination Action:
aims at promoting and supporting the coordination, cooperation or networking of a range of research and innovation projects or operators for a specific objective, normally to achieve improved integration and coordination of European research for a fixed period of time.

Cost Assessment for Sustainable Energy Systems
Context
While effort has been devoted in recent years to the estimation of the external costs of energy, more attention is now being paid to the examination of both
the private and external costs
in one framework. Energy policy making is concerned with both
the supply side and the demand side of energy provision
.
The
geographical dimension
environmental damage from energy production crosses national borders.
is also important since
Costs are dynamic:
values change.
the private costs and the external costs are changing with time, as technologies develop, knowledge about impacts of energy use on the environment increases and individual preferences for certain environmental and other The least well and least systematically covered area of external cost is the one related to
energy security
.

12
Cost Assessment for Sustainable Energy Systems
Expected results
Objective Two will produce comparative assessments of :
the investment and operational costs of different energy options taking account of only private costs and taking account of private plus external costs. This assessment is dynamic and will provide the implications of different levels of internalisation on the investment decisions and on key social indicators.
the impacts of the use of different methods of decision-making on the selection of projects - e.g. cost-benefit analysis with ‘externality adders’ versus multi-criteria decision analysis tools. the implications of different taxes/charges on energy and/or on emissions on (a) the degree of internalisation and (b) the comparative cost comparisons, now and over time.
13
Cost Assessment for Sustainable Energy Systems

Organisation of work
Main steps of the project structure:
Agree upon the storylines of three electricity scenarios [WP1] (status quo and two options developments): this will produce as output three reference scenarios; Calculate average external costs per unit of emission, using Ecosense [WP2, WP3, WP5], and private costs [WP4] on the basis of the reference scenarios when a dynamic element is needed; Refine scenario definition on the basis of computed external costs by considering full costs per each country/technology given by external costs plus private costs, where external costs are given by average cost calculated by Ecosense times the emission determined under energy scenarios [WP2-7]. This second run will include policy variables in order to facilitate policy assessment [WP8-11].
Analyse how the policy proposed in WP8-10 are affected by uncertainty in external costs estimates [WP12].
Draw final conclusions on the final output of the project.

Cost Assessment for Sustainable Energy Systems
WP11 – Methods of assessment
Overview of methods CBA
Stems from neoclassical economics The market as guided by individual preferences secures optimal allocation Money is the appropriate vehicle to express these preferences If stated preferences are missing, use of hypothetical or surrogate markets.
Decision: Aggregation of costs/benefits expressed in monetary terms.
MCDA
Stems from social sciences (decision behavioral analysis) Humans do not always value environmental goods as consumers within a market Preferences do not a priori exist in human mind, especially for non familiar or non traded goods.
A discursive, interactive approach might help individuals construct their preferences Decision: aggregation of weighted performances or outranking of global preferences.

Task 11.3:
to set up tools for implementing assessment methods in an interactive and dynamic way. These tools are developed in a generic form assuming a number of alternative policy instruments evaluated along a number of aspects. The CBA-CEA tool provides rankings of instruments according to external cost estimates and discount rates. The MCDA tool provides rankings of instruments according to the preferential input of stakeholders. In both cases a sensitivity analysis indicates the robustness of the obtained results.
Task 11.4:
to extend and improve the methodology for deriving monetary equivalents for non-monetised impacts through individual preferences elicited in MCDA.

Objectives
To evaluate the uncertainties of the costs (both private and external) estimated in this project; To evaluate the effect of these uncertainties on policy decisions, e.g. choice of energy technologies, choice of emission limits, and the resulting emission levels; To evaluate the social costs if the wrong policy choices are made because of errors or uncertainties in the estimation of the costs estimated in this project; To evaluate the benefit of reducing the uncertainties by further research (to help identify the priorities for such research).

FEEM). This task begins by reviewing the existing uncertainty estimates and updating them as necessary. The extension of the external cost calculations to countries outside the EU entails additional uncertainties that will be evaluated, in particular with regard to monetary valuation. Uncertainties are also estimated for private costs; here both energy prices and abatement costs need to be considered. to review, update and complete the estimation of uncertainties (ECN,
Task 12.2:
to assess the effect of the uncertainties on different levels of internalisation (ECN, FEEM). Tradable permits that are given away free make the polluters reduce their emissions to the social optimum, but without paying anything for the damage caused by the residual emissions. By contrast, pollution taxes and tradable permits that are auctioned by the government make the polluter pay not only the abatement cost to reach the optimum but also the residual damage; the difference in cost to the polluter is large. The monetary transfers and the effects on the economy are therefore much larger in the latter case than in the former, and so are the consequences of errors in the estimation of the external costs.

to evaluate effect of uncertainties on energy choices (ECN, FEEM). Errors in the estimation of the external costs could lead to inappropriate energy choices, for example too low a level of renewable energy sources. Since the evaluation of energy choices is a difficult and complex undertaking, we will attempt to provide at least some initial
Task 12.4:
to evaluate benefit of reducing the uncertainties by further research (ECN, FEEM). Previous research has evaluated how much the social cost of air pollution abatement is increased beyond the optimum if an error is made in the estimation of the damage cost or the abatement cost curve. This social cost penalty can be reduced by further research aimed at reducing the uncertainties of the respective cost estimates. By examining the relation between a measure of the uncertainty (e.g. geometric standard deviation) and the social cost penalty, the value of such research will be quantified. To help identify the priorities the various sources of uncertainties are ranked in terms of their contribution to the total.
