Development and use of the REBUS model

The creation of an internal market for renewable electricity in the EU will involve a political negotiation process on the (re-) distribution of targets and costs. This project was carried out by a consortium and was concentrated on the development and use of the REBUS model.

The REBUS model quantifies and analyses the effects of implementing RES-E targets, and the impact of introducing instruments to achieve burden sharing targets within the EU, such as a Tradable Green Certificate (TGC) system.

The REBUS model is a framework that can be used for determining the most equitable distribution of costs (burden sharing). Therewith it aims to support key policy makers, industrial stakeholders and consumers in making decisions on the possibilities to achieve their joint RES-E targets.
