Optimal Transmission Regulation in an Integrated Energy Market
Tangerås, Thomas - 2014
The capacity of the transmission network determines the extent of integration of a multi-national energy market. Cross-border externalities render coordination of network capacity valuable. Is it then optimal to collect powers in the hands of a single regulator? Should a common system operator...
