“…As for the water plant, there is a more significant cost in relation to the damage caused by the native area reduction due to the flooding of the reservoir. Finally, the thermal plants have their externalities almost entirely concentrated in emissions and these showed a high cost to society, corroborating other studies that address the issue of emissions (Kudelko, 2006;Rentizelas & Georgakellos, 2014;Streimikiene & Alisauskaite-Seskiene, 2014).…”

Resumo O mercado de geração de energia está em contínua expansão no Brasil. Este mercado é formado por diferentes fontes de geração de energia, as quais acarretam diferentes impactos socioeconômicos e ambientais atrelados às suas operações. Estes impactos geram externalidades na forma de dano para a sociedade e a compensação destes não é de consenso comum entre os atores envolvidos. Neste sentido, o presente artigo busca, com a aplicação do método do pensamento sistêmico, criar um modelo computacional de dinâmica de sistemas que possibilite a avaliação do custo sistêmico total, considerando as externalidades, da geração de energia. Para este fim, foi aplicada uma adaptação do método do PSPC – Pensamento Sistêmico e Planejamento por Cenários. Na primeira fase, gerou-se um entendimento maior sobre a temática. Em seguida, realizou-se a construção do modelo computacional e, por fim, o modelo foi aplicado a três usinas reais a fim de se fazer uma avaliação da inserção da energia eólica em face da substituição das fontes hidroelétrica e termoelétrica a carvão. Os resultados obtidos apresentaram uma evolução no entendimento na comparação do real custo da energia para a sociedade, devido ao aprendizado proporcionado pela utilização do pensamento sistêmico em conjunto com a modelagem dinâmica de sistemas. Os dados encontrados também apontaram para uma mudança nas decisões sobre a matriz energética, se adotado um custo sistêmico para avaliação de novos projetos.

“…In the work of Owen (2006), the conclusion was that if the estimates of damage costs resulting from fossil fuel electricity generation were internalized into the price of the resulting output of electricity, a number of renewable technologies (specifically wind and some applications of biomass) could be financially competitive with generation from coal plants. The issue of internalizing the external costs of generating electricity has been examined in several cases in the country level, such as in the case of Croatia (Bozicevic Vrhovcak et al, 2005) and Poland (Kudelko, 2006). In the latter case, heat generation was also included in the analysis.…”

The present work aims to examine the strategic decision of future electricity generation mix considering, together with all other factors, the effect of the external cost associated with the available power generation technology options, not only during their operation but also during their whole life-cycle. The analysis has been performed by integrating the Life Cycle Assessment concept into a linear programming model for the yearly decisions on which option should be used to minimise the electricity generation cost. The model has been applied for the case of Greece for the years 2012-2050 and has led to several interesting results. Firstly, most of the new generating capacity should be renewable (mostly biomass and wind), while natural gas is usually the only conventional fuel technology chosen. If externalities are considered, wind energy increases its share and hydro-power replaces significant amounts of biomass-generated energy. Furthermore, a sensitivity analysis has been performed. One of the most important findings is that natural gas increases its contribution when externalities are increased. Summing-up, external cost has been found to be a significant percentage of the total electricity generation cost for some energy sources, therefore significantly changing the ranking order of cost-competitiveness for the energy sources examined.

“…As the second period of the emissions trade has already started the electricity sector of Poland will have to face certain economic and political challenges [35]. Addressing the latter appropriately not only will be essential for the integrity of the sector but might reveal the potential for significant benefits both at the domestic economics -through emission allowance savings -and the social welfare [26]. Finally, any attempt to examine the Polish electricity sector must consider the fact that Poland has always been energy independent, using domestic solid fuels.…”

“…Subsequently the load factor is found to be lower in countries with wide seasonal variation of electricity demand, since the usually applied strategy is the increase of the installed capacity that is only used to cover rare peak loads. Electricity transmission at high voltage is provided by a single state controlled entity known as the Polish Power Grid Company and 33 regional retail distributors [26]. As regards to the transmission network of Poland, this has undergone significant improvements in the last years.…”

Energy and electricity in particular, are of unquestionable value for the welfare of all modern societies. The electricity sectors of Eastern European countries have undergone several phases of development between the post-WWII days within the CEMA and USSR frameworks and today's EU and global energy and environmental regimes. The present paper examines the progress of the Polish electricity sector throughout the last decades, providing useful information regarding not only the technical generation and distribution infrastructure but also the policies that have been and are currently implemented. The results are discussed in the context of indicators such as the electricity intensity and per capita consumption, and show that although the Polish electricity sector has gone a long way, there still are several necessary technology management steps to be taken if Poland is to adequately address the challenges of international competition, electricity supply security and environmental sustainability
