Abstract

This paper investigates the potential long-term benefits that could be arisen by the construction and operation of the envisioned “Green Aegean Interconnector”. This will be a pioneering 9-GW direct interconnection line connecting Greece with Germany to facilitate the transfer of massive amounts of RES generation from South-East to Central-North Europe. The ultimate goal of this analysis is to estimate the total electricity supply cost to be undertaken by the end-consumers in Greece with and without the said interconnector along with the cost/benefit of the Greek national economy associated with the foreseen cross-border electricity exchange. Detailed simulations of the Greek electricity market using a specialized electricity market simulation software on the basis of the main provisions of the revised Greek National Energy and Climate Plan are performed under realistic market evolution scenarios for a future 30-year study horizon (2026–2055). Simulation results and the associated cost-benefit analysis indicate that such a project would enable the operation of additional RES projects in Greece. This would, in turn, decrease the overall Greek end-consumers’ electricity cost and create a significant surplus for the Greek economy through the increased exporting activity, whereas at EU-level it would assist towards further achieving the European energy market integration.
调查欧盟电力高速公路的长期效益:绿色爱琴海互联线路案例
本文研究了设想中的 "绿色爱琴海互联线路 "的建设和运营可能带来的长期潜在效益。这将是一条连接希腊和德国的 9 千兆瓦直接互联线路,将促进大量可再生能源发电从东南欧向中北欧转移。本次分析的最终目标是估算希腊终端用户在有无上述联网线路的情况下所需承担的总供电成本,以及希腊国民经济在预期跨境电力交换方面的成本/收益。根据修订后的希腊国家能源与气候计划的主要规定,在未来 30 年的研究范围内(2026-2055 年),在现实的市场演变情景下,使用专门的电力市场模拟软件对希腊电力市场进行了详细模拟。模拟结果和相关的成本效益分析表明,该项目将使希腊更多的可再生能源项目得以运行。反过来,这将降低希腊终端消费者的总体电力成本,并通过增加出口活动为希腊经济创造大量盈余,而在欧盟层面,这将有助于进一步实现欧洲能源市场一体化。
