Abstract

The current paper, examines different electricity market scenarios for Israel 2030, and rates alternatives fuel-based power stations, while addressing economic aspects, environmental impact, technological alternatives, social considerations as well as political benefits. Results show that by 2030, the preferred power plant fuel in Israel should be natural gas, followed by PV and nuclear power stations, and giving the coal power plant the lowest score. The research examines familiar indices, such as prices, efficiency and environmental effects, as well as local specific indices such as social benefits and political implications. This paper is the first part of a study aiming to rate energy efficiency measures in different electricity market scenarios.
