我们说明了分解发电时考虑环境政策的反应的重要性。我们开始通过审查各种方法来计算一般均衡（CGE）模型中的电力部门建模，然后澄清和扩展的结构和校准的“技术束”的方法。我们还模拟了拟议中的美国清洁电力计划，并展示了一个分散的电力部门如何改变结果。我们的模拟表明，发电技术之间的切换能力和电力生产的聚合方式对于量化该计划的经济成本非常重要。
We illustrate the importance of disaggregating electricity generation when considering responses to environmental policies. We begin by reviewing various approaches to electric sector modelling in Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) models, and then clarify and expand upon the structure and calibration of the “technology bundle” approach. We also simulate the proposed U.S. Clear Power Plan and show how a disaggregate electricity sector can change results. Our simulations indicate that both the ability to switch between generation technologies and the manner of aggregation in electricity production are important for quantifying the economic costs of the plan.
