Regional Electricity System Transition Impacts in Central Europe Until 2035

Jan-Philipp Sasse at the University of Geneva created this dataset to accompany a 2020 study on electricity system transitions. It contains regional input data for energy models, including capacity factors, demand, costs, and generation potentials. The data covers NUTS-3 regions across Central Europe and projects scenarios until 2035.

Use Cases

• Calibrating energy system models based on regional capacity factors and levelized costs.
• Assessing regional disparities in electricity generation potential and demand.
• Comparing scenario outcomes for aggregated and regional impacts of the energy transition.

Strengths

• Data is structured for direct use with specific energy models (EXPANSE and PyPSA).
• Covers multiple key dimensions: capacity, demand, costs, and generation potentials.
• Provides both input data and scenario result files for analysis.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file sizes are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
