Description of scenarios

Current Policy Scenario Clean Energy Scenario
Coal generation capacity additions 150 GW of new net coal generation is forced into the model No new net coal generation is forced into the model
Wind and solar generation capacity additions Annual wind and solar generation capacity additions are limited to policy targets (1,200 GW total wind and solar capacity by 2030) Annual wind and solar generation capacity additions decided by model to meet 80% clean electricity by 2035
Non-fossil generation share Least-cost optimization, subject to limits on non-fossil generation additions 46% in 2025; 65% in 2030; 80% in 2035
