We consider the electricity grid imbalance settlement mechanism in the Czech Republic. We focus on the influence of photovoltaic electricity on the behavior of the system imbalance in this mechanism. Out of the family of GARCH models, we use TARCH model, which allows different behavior if the...

We consider future prospects of solar energy in Central Europe. We first provide the description of the Czech energy situation with emphasize on photovoltaic energy. After that we estimate the merit-order effect. In last five years the Czech wholesale price of electricity decreased on average by...

The article is focused on the total historical and future costs of supporting photovoltaic electricity generation in the Czech Republic. The model estimation of these costs is accompanied by methodologically unified comparison with cost of the support of other renewable energy resources. We find...

This paper introduces residual shape risk as a new subclass of energy commodity risk. Residual shape risk is caused by insufficient liquidity of energy forward market when retail energy supplier has to hedge his short sales by a non-exible standard baseload product available on wholesale market....

This paper introduces residual shape risk as a new subclass of energy commodity risk. Residual shape risk is caused by insufficient liquidity of energy forward market when retail energy supplier has to hedge his short sales by a non-flexible standard baseload product available on wholesale...

Oil price shocks, which materialize in petrol prices, put severe inflationary pressures on countries that rely largely on fossil fuels, causing financial instability. The Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program, implemented in the USA in 2005, sanctions blending corn-based ethanol with fuel and...
