PRIMES EU-wide Energy Model

As a partial equilibrium model for the European Union energy markets, PRIMES is used for forecasting, scenario construction and policy impact analysis up to the year 2030.

It simulates a market equilibrium for energy demand and supply within the European Union and it focuses on market-related mechanisms influencing the evolution of demand and supply. PRIMES is used mainly in the field of energy and environmental policy to analyse, for example, impacts of carbon emission trading and of renewable and energy efficiency policies on energy markets within each of the 27 Member States.
