4    Overview on key parameters (3)

>>Back to Introduction<<

In order to ensure maximum consistency with existing EU scenarios and projections the key input parameters of the scenarios presented in this report are derived from PRIMES modelling and from the Green-X database with respect to the potentials and cost of RES technologies (see section 1). Table A-1 shows which parameters are based on PRIMES and which have been defined for this study. More precisely, the PRIMES scenarios used are:

• The Baseline Scenario as of December 2009 (NTUA, 2009),
  
  
• The Reference Scenario as of 2011 (NTUA, 2011),
  
  
• The High Renewables Scenario as of 2011 (NTUA, 2011).

Note that the default reference for this prospective RES policy assessment represents the recently derived PRIMES reference case.
