We use a national Saudi power system dispatch optimization model to assess the implications of load shifting from the industrial sector. This model quantifies the fuel offtake, emission, and cost implications of shifting industrial loads from peak summer to off-peak winter months with industrial...

Electricity system operations are often affected by energy policies, but spatial differences in policy impacts are difficult to model. We develop a method for estimating zonal supply curves in transmission-constrained electricity markets that can be implemented quickly by policy analysts with...

Motivated by recent interventions by the states of New Jersey and Maryland and the introduction of PJM’s Minimum Offer Price Rule (MOPR) for capacity markets, we analyze the impact of subsidized government investments in electrical generation on electricity markets. We extend the model of...

Initially created as afterthoughts to competitive electricity markets, capacity markets were intended to enhance system reliability. They have evolved into massive, highly controversial, and poorly understood billion-dollar institutions. Electricity Capacity Markets examines the rationales for...
