The final model exercise allows you to analyse the linkage between today’s choices and future results.

Now it is your task to design a future for our little market: you are free to choose the CO₂ tax, the deposit for nuclear accidents, and subsidies for wind power and PV; both for the current time frame (indicated by 2025) and the long term future time frame (indicated by 2050).

As explained in the last step, your choice of policies in 2025 can have an impact on the renewable costs in 2050 and thereby influence the market outcome, even if you do not implement any policies.

Do whatever you think is a good energy mix and see how your market will react and how much it will cost.

Note: If you want to keep a certain result for later use we suggest that you make a screenshot (Command-Shift-3 for Mac or CTRL+PrtScn for Windows) and download it.
