Description of model
|
The National Energy Modelling
System (NEMS) is a computer-based, energy-economy modelling system of U.S. energy
markets. NEMS forecasts the production, imports, conversion, consumption, and prices of
energy. The inputs to the model include assumptions on macroeconomic and financial
factors, world energy markets, resource availability and costs, behavioural and technological
choice criteria, cost and performance characteristics of energy technologies, and
demographics. The model can then be used to look at a range of response measures but is
particularly well-suited to assessing technological solutions.
|
|
Particular relevance
|
NEMS is relevant to assessment of the response measures through its treatment of the adoption
of new energy technologies.

Model applications

Annual Energy Outlook - The EIA's 2009 report was updated to reflect the provisions of the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) that were enacted in mid-February 2009. The
report is based on NEMS model output based on the its interpretation of the set of policies in
the ARRA (http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/aeo/index.html).
