Come hear me and @EeistP colleagues waffle on about our failures and a few successes applying complexity economics and systems thinking in very applied energy policy work...🤓

What role could the UK Gov. play in ensuring Britain has more efficient homes?
The #AffordableEnergyCalculator which we worked on with @GreenpeaceUK allows people to see how much they could save in the future if their homes were more efficient➡️bit.ly/41leyhA

🚨BREAKING: The new price cap has been announced by OFGEM.
Some households could be paying as much as £3000 a year for energy bills.
This will push millions more into fuel poverty - this is unacceptable.

How much does the UK need to invest in its electricity grid? How does that compare to Victorian investment in the railways?
From what I can tell:
- The UK invested ~2% of its GDP in building railways from 1845 - 1870
- We need to invest 0.2% - 0.5% of GDP in the grid to 2050

The improved UK balance of payments from lower fossil fuel imports is a major reason why UK GDP is expected to rise if we meet net-zero
(and this result was pre-gas price crisis)

This is a great thread on the implications of discount rate choices in economic analysis, well worth a read
12 Nov 2022
Some personal reflections. The choice of the discount rate in cost benefit analysis is a value judgement. Of course, observing the market rate for different asset classes is NOT a vslue judgement, but deciding to use (or not ) the market rates for social CBA definitely is. /

Our recent analysis for @GridLabEnergy shows economy-wide decarbonisation could create 68,000 additional jobs by 2050. Wisconsin’s labour market is prepared to fill the vacancies, with nearly 5,000 engineering degrees and certificates awarded annually.

I'm delighted that this work has now been published. We applied our state-level macroeconomic model E3-US to show that there is the potential for substantial economic gains from decarbonizing Wisconsin's electricity system and the wider economy.

Brand new 'Roadmap to Net Zero' report is out now! 🚨
Our analysis for @GridLabEnergy shows Wisconsin can cost-effectively achieve net zero emissions by 2050, bringing sweeping economic and health benefits to the state.

This is driven by two key impacts: a stimulus linked to investment in new low carbon generation and demand-side measures; and lower energy costs resulting from electrification, efficiency and the integration of demand-side flexibility increasing consumer spending power.

In terms of concrete suggestions - improving the fabric efficiency of the UK’s building stock should be priority number one.
It can provide help in the short, medium and long-term, dictated by how quickly schemes can be scaled up. 5/6

Study after study has shown the major improvements (in public health, in the economy and other ways) that delivering this can achieve.
The devil is in the detail - how to incentivise or otherwise encourage homeowners to undergo deep retrofits. 6/6
