Financing Sector Coupling

The aim of the project is to develop and evaluate options for action for the design of the financing of the energy system with a view to sector coupling. The evaluation is based on qualitative and quantitative analyses. The effects on the economic efficiency of sector coupling technologies and on the burden on different consumer groups associated with the options for action will be investigated. The impacts will be analyzed quantitatively.

 

On the one hand, the impacts on consumer groups are determined from a systemic perspective at the sectoral level for the sectors industry, commerce / trade / services, transport and households (incl. motorized private transport). On the other hand, individual impacts on selected sample consumers (commercial and non-commercial) are analyzed. The analyses also take into account (qualitatively) that the individual options for action can influence the costs (including transaction costs) of the transformation of the energy system and sector coupling in a different way.
