Full project name
CASES: Cost Assessment for Sustainable Energy Systems
The aim of the project was to assemble coherent and detailed estimates of external and internal costs of energy production from different energy sources at the national level for the 25 countries of the European Union andfor some countries outside the European Union, in accordance with the energy scenarios up to 2030.
Furthermore, the project aimed at evaluating the possibility of policy measures to increase the efficiency of energy consumption with respect to data on the overall costs.
Finally, it was also aimed at conveying the research results to producers and consumers of energy and politicians through several actions.

Project description
The aim of the project was to assemble coherent and detailed estimates of external and internal costs of energy production from different energy sources at the national level for the 25 countries of the European Union andfor some countries outside the European Union, in accordance with the energy scenarios up to 2030.
Furthermore, the project aimed at evaluating the possibility of policy measures to increase the efficiency of energy consumption with respect to data on the overall costs.
Finally, it was also aimed at conveying the research results to producers and consumers of energy and politicians through several actions.
The project was divided into 13 work packages, with CUEC working in particular on the work package 6 "EU national level cost estimates (cost estimates at the national level within the EU)".
