Abstract

Energy and water are inextricably linked. The limited endowments, uneven temporal and spatial distribution, and low utilization efficiency of energy and water pose great challenges to China's sustainable development. In this paper, a bottom-up model (CEMES model) was developed to integrate Chinese energy systems with water resources, to project the future water demand, and to evaluate the impacts of water constraints on water demand and generation portfolio of power sector out to the year 2050. We find that water fee has limit impact in the short-term, while significant impact in the long-run for power sector, in terms of the water demand and power generation portfolio.
