OverviewThis book reports and rationalizes the state-of-the-art concerning the social costs of electricity generation. Social costs are assessed by adding to the private generation costs, the external costs associated with damages to human health, the environment, crops, materials, and those related to the consequences of climate change. The authors consider the evolution of these costs up to 2030 for major electricity generating technologies and, using these estimates, evaluate policy options for external cost internalization, providing quantitative scenarios by country and primary fuel for 2010, 2020 and 2030. While mainly focusing on European countries, the book also examines the situation in key emerging economies such as China, India, Brazil and Turkey.With an analysis of the policies for external costs internalization, this invaluable book will appeal to energy policymakers, research institutions focusing on energy, environmental and energy NGOs and trade associations, as well as energy companies.

Table of ContentsReviews'The Social Cost of Electricity stands out for its ambitious effort to model and quantify the external costs of electric-power generation. . . Without doubt, the data presented in this volume will be of great interest to policymakers and researchers and will challenge future debates on energy policy.' -- Jim Rossi, Climate Law 'This book is an excellent report on a very thorough analysis of the full-cycle costs of different sources of electric power, with due regard for externalities. It is a great credit to Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei.' -- Kenneth Arrow, Stanford University, US 'This book is an excellent report on a very thorough analysis of the full-cycle costs of different sources of electric power, with due regard for externalities.
