Tightening EU ETS targets in line with the European Green Deal: Impacts on the decarbonization of the EU power sector

Robert C. Pietzcker et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the impact of tighter EU ETS targets on the power sector, finding that the transformation would accelerate with renewable energy leading the shift, coal phased out by 2030, and zero electricity generation emissions by 2040. Carbon prices within the EU ETS would triple, reducing power sector emissions by 54% compared to the current target, with only a 5% increase in total discounted power system costs. Various sensitivities were tested, showing that increased electricity demand and restrictions on transmission expansion could impact the transition.
