Abstract
The Global MARKAL-Model (GMM), a multi-regional ‘‘bottom-up’’ partial equilibrium model of the global energy system with
endogenous technological learning, is used to address impacts of internalisation of external costs from power production. This modelling
approach imposes additional charges on electricity generation, which reflect the costs of environmental and health damages from local
pollutants (SO2, NOx) and climate change, wastes, occupational health, risk of accidents, noise and other burdens. Technologies allowing
abatement of pollutants emitted from power plants are rapidly introduced into the energy system, for example, desulphurisation, NOx
removal, and CO2 scrubbers. The modelling results indicate substantial changes in the electricity production system in favour of natural
gas combined cycle, nuclear power and renewables induced by internalisation of external costs and also efficiency loss due to the use of
scrubbers. Structural changes and fuel switching in the electricity sector result in significant reduction of emissions of both local pollution
and CO2 over the modelled time period. Strong decarbonisation impact of internalising local externalities suggests that ancillary benefits
can be expected from policies directly addressing other issues then CO2 mitigation. Finally, the detailed analysis of the total generation
cost of different technologies points out that inclusion of external cost in the price of electricity increases competitiveness of non-fossil
generation sources and fossil power plants with emission control.

All costs are given in $(1995). The progress ratio (pr) is the rate at which the cost declines each time the cumulative capacity doubles. The data presented derives from various sources and literature
reviews, e.g., Lako and Seebregts (1998); EIA (2003a); Wu et al. (2001), etc. Characteristics of technologies with CO2 removal are adopted from David and Herzog (2000); additional CO2-storage cost
(10 $/t-CO2 or 36.7 $/tC for every ton captured) is charged for these technologies. This cost comprises expenditures for CO2 transport, injection and disposal. A lower value of pr for technologies with
CO2-capture is based on an assumption, that the CO2-capture device applied to the reference power plant might contribute to the ‘‘learning’’ potential of a reference plant. Technologies equipped with
CO2-capture, therefore, could undergo stronger cost reduction.
