摘要

China has made a commitment to reach its greenhouse gas emissions peak around 2030. This poses great challenge and uncertainty to the development of its power sector. Power supply and demand in China has already exhibited a feature of uneven spatial distribution, and this may be largely exaggerated if some constraint on greenhouse gas emissions is set on the sector. In this paper, we propose scenario analyses of China's power sector with carbon pricing mechanism based on a multi-regional and multi-period power sector planning model. The optimal installed capacity for power generation technologies and CO2 emissions in different regions are illustrated.
