Primary research areas

En­ergy Eco­nom­ics and Mod­el­ing

Design, op­er­a­tion, and trans­formation of en­ergy sys­tems us­ing quant­it­at­ive meth­ods, eco­nom­ic ana­lys­is, and open-source mod­els to as­sess in­fra­struc­ture plan­ning, mar­ket design, in­vest­ment de­cisions, and path­ways to­ward low-car­bon en­ergy sys­tems

In­teg­ra­tion of Re­new­able En­ergy Sources

Flex­ib­il­ity op­tions for con­sumers and in­dustry, such as de­mand-side man­age­ment, elec­tri­fic­a­tion (dir­ectly and through green fuels and hy­dro­gen-based solu­tions), and sec­tor coup­ling

Eco­nom­ics of Nuc­le­ar Power

The role of nuc­le­ar en­ergy in low-car­bon en­ergy sys­tems, fo­cus­ing on in­vest­ment risks, fin­an­cing, mar­ket in­teg­ra­tion, sys­tem costs, and the in­ter­ac­tion between nuc­le­ar power and re­new­able en­ergy sources

Jens Weibezahn is Assistant Professor at the Copenhagen School of Energy Infrastructure (CSEI) at Copenhagen Business School (CBS).

His research explores the transformation of energy systems through infrastructure planning and market design, with particular emphasis on flexibility options, sector integration, and decentralization. Methodologically, his work combines open-source energy system modeling with financial and economic analysis to support the development of resilient, efficient, and low-carbon energy systems. He has participated in and led several research projects on the national, Nordic, and European level.

A former Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow, he holds a PhD in Economics from Technische Universität Berlin, where he also completed his habilitation in Energy Economics and Modeling. Prior to joining CBS, he served as Research Associate at TU Berlin’s Workgroup for Infrastructure Policy (WIP), where he continues to be affiliated as a Guest Researcher. He studied Industrial Engineering and Management with a focus on energy and transportation infrastructure at TU Berlin and the University of California, Berkeley.
