Model-based policymaking or policy-based modelling? How energy models and energy policy interact
Mr. Vassilis Stavrakas, Senior Research Associate at the Technoeconomics of Energy Systems laboratory(TEESlab) participated at this year’s Energy Modelling Platform for Europe (EMP-E) Conference (EMP-E 2021) and the Special Session ‘Making Energy Models more relevant for Policymaking’, to present along with SENTINEL colleagues from the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS) and the Renewables Grid Initiative (RGI) their scientific paper “Model-based policymaking or policy-based modelling? How energy models and energy policy interact”, shedding light on the factors that foster or hinder the use of energy system models in policymaking processes. The key takeaways from the session are ?: ▹ Models…

Model-based policymaking or policy-based modelling?
We are glad to inform you that our scientific article “Model-based policymaking or policy-based modelling? How energy models and energy policy interact” has been published in the Elsevier’s “Energy Research and Social Science” peer-reviewed journal. As energy models become more and more powerful, they are increasingly used to support energy policymaking. Although modelling has been used for policy advice for many years, there is little knowledge about how computer-based models actually influence policymaking, and to what extent policymakers influence the modelling process. In our article we empirically investigate (i). whether, how and when models influence the policy-making process, and (ii).…
