欧盟在电力生产问题上存在分歧。尽管人们一致认为发电技术需要减少温室气体排放，但使用可再生能源还是核能来满足这种电力需求的问题存在很大争议。这两种选择仍然需要财政支持，这一点在不久的将来不会改变。这就提出了一个问题：为了实现更大的经济效益，公共资金应该投资到哪里？是支持可再生能源(RE)还是支持核电站？本文试图回答这个问题。本研究中进行的详细的基于模型的前瞻性情景评估为估计未来的成本发展提供了基础。在讨论了现有的可再生能源支持方案后，将其与核模型进行了比较。英国(UK)在国家一级和欧盟28国整体上进行了堪称典范的比较。最近英国欣克利角核电站(NPP)建设的国家援助案例就是核选项的典范。
The European Union is divided on the issue of electricity production. While there is consensus that generation technologies need to be low on greenhouse gas emissions, the question of whether to use renewables or nuclear to meet this power demand is highly controversial. Both options still require financial support and this is not going to change in the near future. This raises the question of where public money should be invested in order to achieve greater economic efficiency: into support for renewable energies (RE) or support for nuclear power plants?This paper sets out to answer this question. The detailed model-based prospective scenario assessment performed in this study provides the basis for estimating future cost developments. After discussing the existing support schemes for renewables, the paper compares these with a nuclear model. The comparison is conducted exemplarily for the United Kingdom (UK) at a country level and for the EU 28 overall. The recent state aid case for the construction of the Hinkley Point nuclear power plant (NPP) in the UK serves as the model for the nuclear option.
