OIES – A Net-Zero Energy System with Liberalized Markets and Regulated Transportation and Delivery

The main theme of the report is achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in the energy system through significant electrification of transportation and industrial applications, using zero-emission generation resources combined with zero-emission gas and heat systems.

The document describes and evaluates a centralized energy system with liberalized electricity, gas, and heat markets, a regulated network utility, and a zero-emission system operator. Key findings include the need to optimize existing market and regulatory practices to achieve net-zero system goals, as well as the integration of new technologies and effective regulation of network investments.
