| Popis: | The region of the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East (EMME) is very diverse, comprising countries with rich fossil fuel reserves, which are net energy exporters, and countries that heavily rely on energy imports. This policy brief aims to highlight the potential benefits offered by a future enhancement in electricity trade across the region. A model representing the national electricity supply system of seventeen EMME countries is developed and used to assess alternative scenarios where trade is limited or enhanced. Relevant implications in terms of renewable energy deployment, greenhouse gas emissions, and overall system costs are then quantified. The scenario results can assist in the identification of potential net exporters of carbonneutral electricity, markets for electricity imports within the region, as well as key transit countries.
