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).
