Abstract	The article presents model complex for assessing the economic consequences of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the power system of region. The trajectories of emissions and macroeconomic indicators for the Russian Far East are estimated in the context of maintaining the current parameters of the power system efficiency and in the context of power system transformation (modernization of thermal power plants, transition of thermal power plants from coal to gas with the development of gas processing industry). The results of calculations confirm that an emissions reduction is a secondary effect for selected transformations of the region’s power system.
