I had a conceptual question. Currently, I only have set up the Industrial and Residential sectors in my Demand area, I have not yet set up the Transformation area. I have built out many Residential electrification scenarios, comparing carbon effectiveness and costs for different technology switches to heat pumps, resistance heaters, etc. Eventually, I will build out the Transformation area, but in the meantime, I want to try and get a feel for how the fuel costs will play into my scenarios. I am thinking of adding the cost of electricity and natural gas to the Delivered Cost section in the Resources area, however, I am puzzled because the cost of electricity and natural gas are different for the Residential and Industrial sectors. How can I reconcile this?

Thank you for the advice and take care!

One approach you could use is to create two versions of electricity in the General:Fuels screen. (eg Elec-RES and Elec-IND). You would then model the demands for each separately and specify different costs for each.

Hope this helps,
